π Can I Add Instruction Sequences Depending on Quality Check Results?
Use conditional workflows to adapt work instructions based on inspection results

πΉ Overview
In some manufacturing processes, a quality check determines the next steps in the workflow. With Setago, you can configure conditional workflows (IF-THEN rules) that automatically adjust the instruction sequence based on inspection results.
This means if a product fails a quality check, it can be directed to rework steps, while passing products continue with standard processing.
Why Use Conditional Workflows for Quality Checks?
πΉ Increase Process Efficiency β No manual decision-making; failed products are redirected automatically.
πΉ Ensure Compliance β Mandatory rework steps for failed quality checks ensure standardization.
πΉ Improve Traceability β Document every failed check and its rework process.
πΉ Reduce Errors β Workers donβt have to manually decide what to do next.
π Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1οΈβ£: Add a Quality Check Data Set
- Navigate to Element Management > Data sets
- Switch to the data element tab
- Create a data element
- Configure your quality check data element with templates or manually
- e.g. use True/ False to record simple ok/ not ok checks.
- Save data element
- Create data set
- Assign the quality check data element
- Save data set
π Tip: Data Elements can be dropdown selections, visual icons (β Pass /
β Fail), numeric values (e.g., torque measurement), or manual entries.

Step 2οΈβ£: Add a Quality Check Step
- Navigate to Work Instruction Management and open an instruction.
- Add a new Step (e.g., "Perform Quality Check").
- Assign a Data Element to collect the result (e.g., "Pass/Fail").
- Save the step.

Step 3οΈβ£: Define Conditional Sequences (Jump Conditions)
- Select the Quality Check Step in the Work Instruction Editor.
- Click "Add Jump Condition".
- Set up IF-THEN rules based on the quality result:
- IF Quality Check = "Pass", THEN Continue to Step X
- IF Quality Check = "Fail", THEN Jump to Rework Step 1
- Save the workflow.
π Tip: Multiple conditions can be added for more complex branching (e.g., IF measurement < 10Nm, THEN redo tightening step).


- Worker performs the quality check (e.g., measures torque, scans a barcode).
- The system evaluates the input (e.g., "Pass" or "Fail").
- The next step automatically adjusts based on the result:
- β Pass β The worker continues with the standard process.
- β Fail β The worker is directed to the rework steps.
- Once rework is completed, the product is rechecked or moved forward.
π Tip: Traceability data captures whether a product passed on the first try or needed rework.

β Use Numeric Thresholds
π Configure rules such as IF Measurement < X, THEN Jump to Rework.
β
Enable Automatic Tracking
π Record inspection results automatically with sensors and data elements.
β
Create Multi-Stage Quality Checks
π After rework, retest the product before continuing.
