How to use Idencia OneSource Connect to collect data for the ScrapDown Challenge
Collecting data for the challenge will take seconds out of the day for plant workers. Once their mobile app is installed and they've logged in, they will only need to take out their phone or tablet for a few seconds upon discovering a defect.
Users will use the app to collect basic information about defects, if they repaired it, and whether it was approved by their QC manager or if it resulted in a scrap.
If you haven't already, please install Idencia OneSource Connect and instruct all users who will be collecting data to install the app to their mobile device. You can find the instructions in this knowledge article.
