Visual defect capture
Document defects where they are visible: directly on the photo, drawing or plan – instead of in text fields and email attachments.
The starting point
Today, deviations are often described in text: "scratch, upper left – see photo attached." The photo lives in an email, the description in a form, the drawing in a file share.
When questions arise, the search begins: Which part? Which spot? Which production state? The link between observation, location and business case is lost – and with it, time and clarity.
The solution with LUMINAQ
With the platform's visual capture building block, the image itself becomes the entry form.
Mark instead of describe
Defects, anomalies or inspection points are marked directly on the photo, drawing or plan – on the desktop or by touch on a tablet.
Every marker carries context
A marker is not a pixel but an object: linked to the non-conformance, the part, the responsible person and the action.
Three truths, firmly connected
The visual marker, the business case and the file are managed separately and stay permanently linked – traceable through every revision.
Layers and libraries
Markers live on organisational layers; recurring symbols and shapes come from libraries – consistent across all captures.
This is what it can look like – yours looks like your process.
Building blocks in use
Drawings, photos and plans come from the central document system – not from email attachments.
The business case – the non-conformance – has one unambiguous home; images and markers refer to it.
From the marker, non-conformance, action and approval emerge in the same process space.
Capture happens where the defect is spotted: on the desktop or by touch on a tablet.
The result
Unambiguous communication without room for interpretation: everyone sees on the object where the problem is – not in prose.
Fewer queries, faster actions and an analysable defect picture across parts, lines and time.
From image to 3D model
The capture building block is architected so that markers will also become possible on 3D models – the same process, the same linking logic, one additional dimension.
