(ETQ: Burlington, MA) -- ETQ, part of Hexagon, has announced the latest release of its ETQ Reliance NXG quality management system (QMS) software. It features a new Inspection Management app, a breakthrough solution that automates and streamlines the quality inspection process. Discrete and process manufacturers that use hands-on inspections to meet quality standards and compliance requirements can now automate their processes, reduce paperwork, and enable real-time visibility into quality operations—all within an integrated QMS.

“The cost of poor quality continues to rise among today’s manufacturers, not only causing severe financial impact from product recalls, defects, and noncompliance, but also eroding the trust of customers and damaging industry reputation,” says John Taylor, chief technology officer at ETQ. “The launch of the Inspection Management app rounds out our ETQ Reliance offerings and brings a new level of automation, visibility, and control to the quality inspections process and ensures that only quality products reach customers.”
