The Scout screw counter is an error-prevention device that detects and eliminates costly screw-fastening errors during the assembly process. Using a screw counter is like putting the eyes and ears of a quality control manager where they are needed most – right in the assembly area.
Fastener tracking devices, like a Scout screw counter, count the number of screws delivered and detect and display fastening errors such as cross-threading, omissions, and unfinished rundowns. These error-proofing devices can inform line workers or production supervisors in real time, who can correct the problem by correctly completing the process or preventing the faulty product from being moved down the line.
Manufacturers must see what happens to every fastener to pass quality inspections, analyze production data, and maintain a high level of process assurance. The screw counting process intends to ensure that all screws are accounted for during the assembly process. Using a screw counter is like putting the eyes and ears of a quality control manager where they are needed most – right in the assembly area.
