How do you ensure compliance with procedures?

Developing a procedure—no matter how simple or complex the inspection—relies on a series of defined steps and calibration points that technicians must follow precisely.

For Level 3 personnel, the goal is always the same: create instructions that are technically sound yet simple enough for consistent execution on the shop floor.

But when it comes to auditing or reviewing inspection data, a major challenge emerges. You need confidence that every required step in the setup was actually performed, in the correct order, and to the correct standard. Yet many current systems provide only the final data, not the full trace of how the setup was built. Without visibility into each action taken during configuration, how can you reliably verify compliance or identify where deviations occurred?

This raises an important possibility. What if the inspection system itself offered intuitive tools that guided technicians through each required step—and automatically confirmed whether those steps were completed correctly? What if both the technician and the Level 3 reviewer could see, at a glance, that the procedure had been followed exactly as intended?

The Sonatest XEO addresses these challenges by combining a streamlined user interface with the capability to handle even the most demanding phased array inspections. Its layout is intentionally designed so that technicians can follow complex procedures with confidence, while Level 3 personnel can build those procedures with the level of detail required for advanced inspections. Integrated screenshot and video recording tools make it easy to embed step‑by‑step visuals directly into the procedure, ensuring technicians have clear, unambiguous guidance at every stage of the setup.

To support compliance and auditing, the XEO introduces tools that support the level III and user. The calibration dashboard consolidates the status of every calibration—across every probe and group—onto a single page. Technicians can instantly see what has been completed and what remains outstanding, and auditors can verify at a glance whether all required steps were carried out correctly. Missed actions that might previously have gone unnoticed become immediately obvious, reducing variability and strengthening procedural integrity.

By combining guided setup, visual documentation, and transparent calibration tracking, the XEO shifts the inspection process from one that relies on trust and manual oversight to one supported by built‑in verification. It gives both technicians and Level 3 personnel the confidence that every inspection begins with a correctly executed setup.
