How it works
From the requirement to the evidence
The platform connects what is required with what actually happens in production. Some links are automatic, for example measurements read from a machine; others are your processes, for example who decides on an action.
01 · Required
What customers and standards require
Drawings, tolerances and customer requirements on each characteristic.
02 · Planned
What the process is expected to deliver
Inspections, frequencies and instructions per part.
03 · Measured
What is actually measured and produced
Values from gauges, measuring machines and machines, with their context.
04 · Signals
What deviations and trends reveal
Alarms, trends and capability per characteristic.
05 · Actions
What people decide and do
Your organisation decides; events are noted in the logbook.
06 · Evidence
What shows the result
Reports and certificates per order, and the history behind them.
Four areas
Where connected information makes a difference
What each area is about, and what Eyesight contributes today.
Understand performance. Improve decisions.
- The challenge
- Quality, stops and cycle times are often followed up in different places. Losses show up after the fact, and decisions rest on an incomplete picture.
- What Eyesight contributes
- Measurements, machine status, stops and stop reasons per machine, part and order, with alarms at the tolerance limit and trend analysis. Your people make the decisions, on a shared basis.
Connect information. Understand the whole.
- The challenge
- Measuring machines, gauges, machines and business systems each hold part of the picture. When the information is scattered, it takes time to understand what happened to a part or an order.
- What Eyesight contributes
- Data from measuring machines, gauges, machines and business systems in one place, with each value linked to part, order, machine and operator. You decide what to connect, and when.
Stay ready for changing requirements.
- The challenge
- Customers and standards keep raising the requirements for inspection, calibration and traceability. Pulling the evidence together afterwards costs time before every audit and customer question.
- What Eyesight contributes
- Inspections with instructions, a register for gauges and calibration, traceability per part and order, and reports and certificates. The evidence builds up in the daily work.
- IATF 16949
- ISO 13485
- AS/EN 9100
- ISO 9001
Eyesight supports the work and the evidence behind standards such as these. Certification depends on your organisation’s processes and an independent audit; Rektron does not certify or guarantee conformity.
Build capabilities for what comes next.
- The challenge
- New equipment, new products and new systems will come. When solutions do not fit together, every change turns into a project of its own.
- What Eyesight contributes
- A cloud service on Microsoft Azure with open connections via file, database, OPC, TCP/UDP or API, set up through configuration and scripts. A shared foundation to build on as your needs change.

Beyond control
From controlling quality to improving the business
The platform provides the information and the tools; people make and verify the decisions.
01 · Establish
Requirements and a reliable process
People: You decide what must be checked, how often and with which gauges.
The platform provides: Inspection instructions and inspections at the station; gauges in a calibration register.
02 · Control
Quality and production every day
People: Operators inspect and react to signals.
The platform provides: Control charts with alarms at the tolerance limit; machine status, stops and reasons.
03 · Understand
Variation, losses and recurring problems
People: Quality and production look for causes.
The platform provides: Trends, capability per characteristic and correlation between characteristics.
04 · Improve
Prioritise and carry out improvements
People: Management chooses what to do first.
The platform provides: Where the time and the deviations go, per machine, part and order.
05 · Verify
Show the effect and keep it
People: You check that the change worked and update the standard.
The platform provides: Before and after in the same data; reports and certificates per order.
Improve business performance
Fewer losses you cannot explain
Scrap, rework, stops and long investigations cost money and capacity. When quality and production information are connected, it becomes easier to see where the losses come from, decide what to deal with first and check whether the change helped.
- Scrap and rework
- Trends and alarms show a drift towards the tolerance limit before parts are outside it.
- Downtime
- Stops and stop reasons per machine, part and order show where the time goes.
- Investigation effort
- The measurement already carries its part, order, machine and operator, so the history does not have to be pieced together.
- Uneven production
- Capability per characteristic and correlation between characteristics show which variation matters.
- Did the change help?
- Before and after in the same trend, for the same characteristic and machine.

↺ Feedback to A, B and C: people assess the findings, and what they learn goes back to the process, measurement method, instructions, FMEA and, when needed, the specification.
Customer: requirements in, traceable records and reports out. Supplier: requirements out, incoming inspection and deviations in.
