generally speaking the tool is well suited in complex manufacturing execution environments because there are several features which can be enabled or developed to accomplish business requirements and needs, but on the other hand it means that the standard product is not suitable to cover standard complex scenario in a manufacturing company unless big effort is spent in the development and configuration phase

• quality inspection setup, definition, execution and results recording
• work instruction association to specific work orders according to custom parameters
• execution of work order on mobile terminals

• standard functionalities could be more advanced
