Quality Management in Mechanical Engineering / Plant Construction
As one of the oldest engineering disciplines, mechanical engineering / plant engineering forms the basis of the German capital goods industry. Companies from all sectors rely on machines for their own production. No wonder that companies in the mechanical engineering sector attach great importance to their quality management. You too?

CAD Integration
With CAD integration in BabtecQ, you can easily provide the CAD drawings of your machines and systems for quality management processes.
CAD drawings are essential in mechanical and plant engineering. They ensure precision, standardized production and early failure detection. The drawings serve as documentation and a basis for communication between teams, ensure traceability in the event of problems and thus increase product quality and efficiency.
Good reasons to integrate CAD drawings into quality management processes. With CAD integration in the BabtecQ QM software, this can be done quickly.
If you detect failures in an incoming goods inspection, you can trigger a supplier complaint directly thanks to the comprehensive modules in BabtecQ.
Products in mechanical and plant engineering often consist of complex assemblies. Precise production and high quality are therefore essential. Incoming goods inspections ensure that supplied components and materials meet quality standards, while outgoing goods inspections check the quality of the end products. The inspections ensure that each component is properly assembled and that the overall integrity of the product is not compromised.
Complaints management in BabtecQ makes it easier for you to consistently analyze complaints.
Software-supported complaints management is a great added value in mechanical engineering: it ensures customer satisfaction through effective handling of complaints, guarantees conformity with standards, promotes quality improvements, enables precise warranty and service performance – and ultimately strengthens customer relationships. Recording, analyzing and reacting to complaint data enables efficient troubleshooting and continuous optimization.
In the BabtecQ QM software, complaints management offers you precisely this added value.
Task Management / Action Management
Whether immediate actions implemented, corrective actions introduced or preventive actions: In the dialogue for processing an action, you document relevant information in a central location.
Electronic products are often manufactured in complex production processes that involve a large number of steps and components. Failures can easily creep in and lead to quality deviations. Effective action management makes it possible to quickly identify and analyze deviations and initiate appropriate corrective actions.
Use the task and action management of the BabtecQ QM software to centrally manage and track your tasks and actions.
Checklists
Creating checklists in BabtecQ Go is child's play thanks to the no-code modular system.
Commissioning, process sequences, assembly instructions, acceptance inspections: There are certainly many use cases in your company where checklists can provide effective support.
In the browser-based BabtecQ Go, you can easily digitalize, share and use all your checklists. Standardize processes and create transparency for your employees. All the knowledge gained from your records is reliably incorporated into your continuous improvement process (CIP).
Preventive Maintenance
Convenient planning of maintenance orders in BabtecQ.
In this sense, preventive maintenance has developed into an important competitive factor, as the quality of the products is directly linked to the functional condition of the work equipment.
With preventive maintenance in BabtecQ, you not only reduce the occurrence of failures and optimize operating processes, but you can also plan costs in advance.

When the Machine Runs Smoothly: The Relevance of Quality Management
A Contribution to the Success Story – QM
Ensuring product quality: The products manufactured are often complex and technically demanding. Quality management ensures that all products meet the defined specifications and standards.
Compliance with norms and regulations: The industry is highly regulated and subject to (inter)national standards and safety regulations. Quality management ensures that all processes and products comply with these requirements.
Customer satisfaction: Customers in mechanical and plant engineering often invest considerable sums in products. Effective quality management enables products to be delivered on time and without errors.
Increased efficiency and cost reduction: Systematic quality management identifies bottlenecks, sources of failure and inefficient processes. Costs can be reduced by optimizing these processes.
Risk management for projects: Large projects in mechanical and plant engineering often involve many components. QM makes it possible to recognize risks at an early stage and manage them effectively. This minimizes project delays and budget overruns.
Guidelines & Standards
They set the pace: Directives, standards and requirements. Some are of interest across all industries, while others have a particularly strong impact on companies in the mechanical engineering / plant construction sector. It is best to take them all into account in your quality management. Examples of this are
ISO 9001 for an effective quality management system
ISO 14001 for environmentally relevant aspects of your industry, e.g. resource consumption, emissions and disposal
ISO 45001 to minimize safety-critical risks for your employees
IEC 61508and IEC 61511 for the safety-critical control of electronic components in your machines and systems
Customer-specific requirements
The entire product development process can be tracked using Babtec's QM software: from incoming goods to inspection during production. In addition, the relationship between us and our suppliers benefits from clear communication and the targeted dispatch of specification documents.
