POXO digitises tool, fixture, gauge, and die validation on the production line — replacing paper history cards with an RFID-integrated application that enforces the validation plan, captures every sign-off, and uses analytics to prevent tool-related line stoppages.
POXO digitises tool, fixture, gauge, and die validation on the production line — replacing paper history cards with an RFID-integrated application that enforces the validation plan, captures every sign-off, and uses analytics to prevent tool-related line stoppages.
In precision manufacturing, fixtures, gauges, tooling, and dies must be validated on a strict schedule — because a single worn or out-of-spec fixture produces defective parts and can halt the line. Most plants still run this critical process on paper: week-wise validation plans in spreadsheets, hand-written tool validation history cards, and dimensional inspection reports filed in binders. It is slow, hard to audit, and offers no early warning before a fixture fails. POXO replaces that entirely with a centralised, RFID-integrated application that becomes the single system of record for the full tool population. The validation plan lives in the app with real-time Plan vs. Actual tracking; operators identify fixtures by RFID scan and complete inspections on the spot; and every observation, judgement, and sign-off is captured against a role-based workflow. Built-in analytics surface deteriorating fixtures before they cause a stoppage, rank the check points and models generating the most non-conformances, and recommend validation-frequency adjustments for human approval. A minimum three-year, audit-ready trail keeps the operation ready for ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 audits at any time. Designed for automotive component lines, sheet-metal and assembly operations, tool rooms, and any plant running a scheduled fixture/tool-die validation regime, the solution formalises the process, eliminates paper, and turns tool maintenance into a data-driven, stoppage-preventing discipline.
The week-wise annual tool validation plan is loaded into the application, tracking Plan vs. Actual for every fixture, gauge, tooling, and die.
Each fixture gets a validation sheet covering function, fitment dimensions, wearable parts, limits, and replacement criteria.
On the shop floor, operators identify a fixture by scanning its RFID tag with a handheld reader, or select it manually where tagging isn't feasible.
Findings from calibrated instruments are recorded against each check point directly in the app — no paper history cards or dimensional report forms.
The Validated By, Checked By, and Approved By roles review and authorise each record; only the assigned person can complete their stage.
OK tools are released and set active; NG tools trigger part replacement, re-validation, and the critical protocol of checking the next consecutive production parts until all are OK.
A minimum three-year trail of every validation, judgement, and sign-off — with timestamps and user IDs — is exportable on demand for ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 audits.
Trend analysis flags fixtures whose condition is deteriorating before they fail, targeting the goal of zero unplanned line stoppages from in-scope tool failure.
Rule-based analytics recommend tightening or relaxing validation intervals based on real NG history — surfaced for human approval, never auto-applied.
On a precision line, a fixture that drifts out of spec doesn’t announce itself — it just starts producing defects, and eventually stops the line. The validation regime that catches this early is often the last thing still running on paper history cards and spreadsheets.
POXO digitises the entire process into one RFID-integrated application. Operators scan a fixture to pull up its record and validate it on the spot; the week-wise plan enforces itself; every sign-off is captured against the right person; and analytics flag deteriorating tools before they fail. The result is a validation process that’s faster, fully auditable to ISO 9001 / IATF 16949, and built to keep the line running.
They are fully managed through manual lookup in the application — the operator selects the fixture and completes the same validation workflow. RFID is used only where physical size and placement make tagging feasible, and no validation capability is lost on untagged fixtures.
It digitises them. Your tool validation history cards and dimensional inspection reports are configured inside the application with all mandatory check points and the exact sign-off roles you use, so the process stays the same — the paper, filing, and manual compilation disappear.
No. The analytics module applies defined business rules to recommend a change — for example, shortening the interval for a fixture that has needed corrective action repeatedly within a cycle. Every recommendation is shown for review and must be approved by your authorised person before it takes effect. The system never auto-adjusts a validation frequency.
The application runs on a centralised server over your existing plant network, accessed from your existing PCs. All validation records, sign-offs, and activity logs are retained for a minimum of three years and are audit-ready for export at any time.
