Fastening procedures with multiple screws and high speed production can lead to processing errors, tightening failures, missing parts, and compromised quality. Solving fastening problems is about controlling variables and eliminating potential risks that could create unwanted fastening incidents. Error proofing is the quickest path to minimising defects and is critical to ensure a safe and efficient assembly process.

Error proofing the tightening process improves the quality control procedures for manufacturers by reducing the number of defective products on the assembly line and limiting the risk of liability from product failures. 

In order to safeguard against fastening failures, it is essential to use tools equipped with error proofing capabilities that can track each screw that the tool fastens. Selecting and implementing error proofing solutions will enhance the reliability and efficiency of your manufacturing process.
