Fibre Converters

CoA IntelligenceCoA ProcessingPaperboard converting

Challenge: The same board grade is governed by a different manufacturer-negotiated specification at each plant, so one CoA cannot be checked against one spec: the correct limits depend on which manufacturer and which plant the lot came from.

Solution: Agents extract every CoA and check it against the specification negotiated for that manufacturer and that plant, enforcing the right limits per combination rather than one shared standard, and surfacing out-of-spec results for review.

CoA IntelligenceCoA Generation & Email ResponseAgricultural quality assurance and testing

Challenge: Certificates had to be produced from raw test results in a different layout for each major client, and clients kept emailing in for duplicate copies and amended versions of certificates already issued.

Solution: Agents generate the CoA from the lab's test results in the format that client expects. Emailed requests for a duplicate or an amendment are fulfilled automatically from the original record, within permitted parameters such as naming and rounding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CoA management software?

It reads each supplier certificate and checks it against your specification, and it generates the certificates you send your own customers. Your quality team sees the exceptions and decides.

How does it check a certificate against my specification?

Each result is compared with the specification version you published for that product, supplier and plant. Your limit and the supplier's printed limit are kept apart, so a result inside the printed range but outside yours fails.

Can it generate our outbound certificates?

Yes. Outbound certificates are generated from your lot and test data on your own template, and every publish is a new version. Anything out of spec waits for review before it goes out.

Which quality records can I file?

Certificates have their own checking and generation. Other supplier quality records are filed under the types you define, linked to their lot, product and supplier.

Who can approve a certificate?

Four roles apply: Team Admin, Quality Admin, Quality Expert and Reader, enforced on the server. Every accept, waive or reject keeps the reason and who decided.
