WHP Guided Inspections combine our inspection expertise with technology to ensure the quality of your products remotely, anytime, anywhere. Through WHP’s livestreaming technology, a supervisor guides factory staff remotely through the steps of a product inspection and collects evidence of key findings on the product’s quality.
Product inspections are an essential element of quality control. Whether remote or on-site, they help to prevent quality problems and supply chain disruptions once products are on the shelves. WHP Guided Inspections can be conducted at the following stages of the manufacturing process: IPC – Initial Production Check, DUPRO – During Production Inspection, and PSI – Pre-Shipment Inspection.
How a Guided Inspection is Typically Carried Out
The booking, inspection checklist, and overall process for a Guided Inspection are the same as with a WHP Onsite Inspection. During a Guided Inspection, a team of factory staff perform tests while being guided remotely by a WHP supervisor who monitors the inspection via a livestream.
Once the inspection is complete, the WHP supervisor carefully checks the captured pictures against the product specifications and delivers a detailed report within the same day. Real-time analytics are available in your WHP dashboard.
Guided Inspections vs Onsite Inspections
Guided Inspections are not an alternative to full onsite inspections. They are meant to provide an additional safety layer to factory self-inspections and focus on specification checks and tests. Although Guided Inspections can’t offer the same accuracy level and checking depth as a traditional onsite inspection, WHP Guided Inspections have been designed to guide factory inspectors and ensure that findings are unbiased.
If you’re looking for full peace of mind, you may want to opt for a standard onsite inspection.
