EnterpriseAutoQC · photo-evidence quality control

Every piece proves itself before it reaches the truck.

For brands that make through OEM partners. The purchase order becomes one barcode per piece; the barcode is stitched in; four photos measure it against the spec; QA passes it from anywhere — and nothing that hasn’t passed can be packed or loaded.

  • 4 photos per piece, in a locked order
  • ± 0.5 cm height tolerance, checked
  • 1 page of evidence per barcode

WhySound familiar?

Three things we hear in every first conversation.

From brand quality teams working with OEM partners. Composite quotes from discovery calls — the problems are real; the names are left out.

AutoQC: The problem, before AutoQC
An OEM unit two states away from brand QA
  1. “We find the wrong size at the warehouse.”

    A piece made 7 mm too tall is discovered after it is packed, shipped and returned.

    Head of qualityReturns, re-work and freight twice

  2. “QA can’t be at every OEM unit.”

    Five partners in four states. Inspections are a sample, a visit and a signature.

    Brand QA leadMost pieces never inspected

  3. “When a customer complains, we can’t prove what left.”

    There is no photo, no measurement and no name attached to the piece that shipped.

    Customer service headEvery dispute is our word against theirs

HowWhat changes with AutoQC

The same three problems, on the screens that solve them.

Product screens with illustrative data. In your walkthrough we load your own lanes, plants, outlets or SKUs.

01Size found too late

Every piece measured on camera — and stopped at the line.

  • Four photos in a locked order, tape and barcode in frame, guided in Hindi and English
  • Out of tolerance means stop: nothing that hasn’t passed can be packed or loaded

Bad pieces never reach the truck

AutoQC screen: Every piece measured on camera — and stopped at the line.

02QA on the road

Brand QA passes pieces from anywhere.

  • A queue of pieces with all four photos and every measurement against the spec
  • Pass the green ones in bulk; send back the rest with a reason

Every piece reviewed, not a sample

AutoQC screen: Brand QA passes pieces from anywhere.

03No proof

One page of evidence per barcode.

  • PO, SKU, OEM unit, photographer, reviewer and dispatch truck — with the four photos
  • Every photo stamped with barcode, user, location and time

Disputes closed with a link

AutoQC screen: One page of evidence per barcode.

The people, the phone, the place.

The workplace it runs in, the person who uses it on a phone, the team at the desk and the detail it reads.

01Open AutoQC

Read a PO. Shoot a piece. Watch a bad one get stopped.

Click through it. A purchase order reads itself, labels print, the four photos come in one by one against the spec, QA passes or sends back, and the command center shows which OEM unit is behind.

02PO to truck

Eight steps. The barcode is the thread.

From the PDF that orders it to the truck that carries it, every step reads and writes the same barcode — so a photo, a decision and a dispatch are always about the same piece.

  1. 01

    PO arrives

    PDF · email or upload

    Purchase order and MRP-label PDFs are read on arrival — PO number, vendor, ship-to, dates, value, every label ID.

  2. 02

    Labels printed

    Bulk barcode PDF

    One sticker per piece, printed in bulk for the order on the OEM’s own label printer.

  3. 03

    Made + stitched

    OEM line

    The barcode is sewn into the cover. From here the piece is known by it — and only by it.

  4. 04

    Four photos

    Capture app · locked order

    Length, width, height at the barcode, MRP label on the pack — in order, on one barcode, no skipping.

  5. 05

    QA decides

    Pass · Redo · Hold

    Brand QA reviews the evidence from anywhere. Out of tolerance goes back with a reason.

  6. 06

    Pack + MRP

    After pass only

    Only a passed barcode may be packed and labelled; the label is checked against the piece.

  7. 07

    Load

    Scan at the truck

    Dispatch scans each piece at loading. A barcode that has not passed cannot be loaded.

  8. 08

    On file

    Evidence pack PDF

    Photos, people, times and the decision — one page per piece, found by barcode in seconds.

03The four photos

Measured on camera. Judged against the spec.

The same four frames for every piece, taken in this order and no other, with the tape readable and the barcode in shot. Out of tolerance means stop — not pack.

  1. Photo 1

    Top / length

    Tape from the edge, along the length, readable in frame.

    Spec ± 1 cm
  2. Photo 2

    Bottom / width

    Turned over, width across the base, tape at zero on the edge.

    Spec ± 1 cm
  3. Photo 3

    Height at the barcode

    Height measured where the barcode is stitched — both in one frame.

    Spec ± 0.5 cm
  4. Photo 4

    MRP label on the pack

    MRP, model, size and EAN on the pack match the piece and the SKU.

    Exact match

04One gate

Seven steps forward. Two ways back.

Every piece is always in exactly one state. Packing, labelling and loading all check it — and only “QC passed” opens the way.

  1. 01In productionRegistered from the label ID
  2. 02Barcode stitchedPiece can be photographed
  3. 03In QC1–3 of 4 photos captured
  4. 04SubmittedAll 4 photos, waiting for QA
  5. 05QC passedThe gate: only now can it pack
  6. 06PackedMRP label on, checked
  7. 07DispatchedScanned onto the truck
RedoBack to the line with the reason — re-measured, re-shot, re-reviewed.HoldFrozen until QA releases it — nobody can pack or load it.

05Six roles

From the stitching table to the CEO’s screen.

Each role sees its own step and its own unit. Brand QA and management see every OEM partner in the country.

  • Production worker

    Makes it, marks it.

    Registers the piece, confirms the barcode is stitched, packs only after QC passes.

    • Steps 1, 2 and 5
    • Own OEM unit only
  • QC photographer

    Four photos, in order.

    Scans the barcode, captures the four photos and submits for review — guided in Hindi and English.

    • Step 3–4
    • Cannot skip a photo
  • OEM supervisor

    Keeps the unit’s queue moving.

    Sees every piece in the unit, what is waiting for photos and what came back for redo.

    • Unit queue
    • Checklist sign-off
  • Brand QA

    Decides from evidence.

    Passes, sends back or holds — for every OEM unit, without travelling to any of them.

    • Pass · Redo · Hold
    • All locations
  • Dispatch

    Loads only what passed.

    Scans each piece at the truck; a piece that has not passed is refused.

    • Step 6
    • Scan to load
  • Management

    Sees the whole country.

    Orders by site and OEM unit, vendor backlog, priority queue and an assistant that answers in plain language.

    • Command center
    • AI assistant

06Five desks

26 screens. One question answered: did it pass?

On a phone at the line, on a laptop at QA, on a big screen in the boardroom — in Hindi or English.

FAQQuestions we get about AutoQC

Straight answers, before the call.

AutoQC is an Autowhat AI product for brand quality teams working with OEM partners. Short, factual answers for buyers, procurement and the assistants people ask first.

In short. AutoQC is an Autowhat AI product for brand quality teams working with OEM partners. It is built for brand quality teams working with OEM partners. It exists to remove the problems those teams describe in almost every first conversation: a 7 mm error found after packing, shipping and return; inspection by sample, visit and signature; and disputes with no photo, measurement or name attached. With AutoQC, teams get four photos in a locked order with tape and barcode in frame, a QA queue with every measurement against the spec, and PO, SKU, unit, photographer, reviewer and truck — on one page per piece. It connects to Barcode per piece, Guided camera capture, Spec library and Dispatch linkage, is used by Brand QA · OEM lines, and runs on mobile + web. Like every Autowhat AI product, AutoQC goes live on one site, lane or process first, usually within weeks, on managed cloud, in your own VPC or on-premises, and shares one operational record with the other products, so the second deployment reuses the data and integrations of the first.
