πŸ“– Can I Add Instruction Sequences Depending on Quality Check Results?

Use conditional workflows to adapt work instructions based on inspection results

Last Update 10 months ago

πŸ”Ή 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?

πŸ”Ή Increase Process Efficiency – No manual decision-making; failed products are redirected automatically.
πŸ”Ή Ensure Compliance – Mandatory rework steps for failed quality checks ensure standardization.
πŸ”Ή Improve Traceability – Document every failed check and its rework process.
πŸ”Ή Reduce Errors – Workers don’t have to manually decide what to do next.

πŸ”€ Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1️⃣: Add a Quality Check Data Set

  1. Navigate to Element Management > Data sets
  2. Switch to the data element tab
  3. 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.
  4. Save data element
  5. Create data set
    • Assign the quality check data element
  6. Save data set


πŸ“Œ Tip: Data Elements can be dropdown selections, visual icons (βœ” Pass /
❌ Fail), numeric values (e.g., torque measurement), or manual entries.

Step 2️⃣: Add a Quality Check Step

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

Step 3️⃣: Define Conditional Sequences (Jump Conditions)

  1. Select the Quality Check Step in the Work Instruction Editor.
  2. Click "Add Jump Condition".
  3. 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
  4. Save the workflow.


πŸ“Œ Tip: Multiple conditions can be added for more complex branching (e.g., IF measurement < 10Nm, THEN redo tightening step).

Step 4️⃣: How the Worker Experiences a Conditional Workflow
  1. Worker performs the quality check (e.g., measures torque, scans a barcode).
  2. The system evaluates the input (e.g., "Pass" or "Fail").
  3. The next step automatically adjusts based on the result:
    • βœ… Pass – The worker continues with the standard process.
    • ❌ Fail – The worker is directed to the rework steps.
  4. Once rework is completed, the product is rechecked or moved forward.


πŸ“Œ Tip: Traceability data captures whether a product passed on the first try or needed rework.

Step 5️⃣: Optimizing Quality-Based Workflows with Setago

βœ… Use Numeric Thresholds

πŸ‘‰ Configure rules such as IF Measurement < X, THEN Jump to Rework.

βœ… Enable Automatic Tracking
πŸ‘‰ Record inspection results automatically with sensors and data elements.

βœ… Create Multi-Stage Quality Checks
πŸ‘‰ After rework, retest the product before continuing.
