Incoming Goods Inspection

The Critical First Checkpoint

Incoming goods inspection is the first and most important line of defense against contamination entering your production. When contaminated components arrive from suppliers and pass unchecked into clean zones, they compromise every downstream process. Traditional inspection methods—visual checks or sending samples to external labs—either miss microscopic particles entirely or introduce unacceptable delays.

60-Second Inspection at the Loading Dock

PartikelART enables quality engineers to perform VDA 19.1-compliant particle analysis directly at the goods receipt area. In just 60 seconds, you can:

1. 1 Extract particles from incoming components using Trace Pads
2. 2 Analyze particle count, size, and type with the LensApp
3. 3 Compare results against cleanliness specifications instantly
4. 4 Document results digitally for supplier communication
5. 5 Reject non-conforming batches before they enter your facility

From Inspection to Supply Chain Intelligence

When you inspect every incoming batch with PartikelART, you build a comprehensive dataset that transforms your supplier relationships.

• Track contamination trends by supplier, batch, and season
• Provide objective, standardized cleanliness data to support supplier improvement programs
• Establish data-driven cleanliness specifications that both parties can verify
• Move from reactive quality control to proactive supply chain management
