Falco PDI

You’ve built the machine. You’re ready to dispatch.
And then the scramble begins.
Someone pulls out an old Excel checklist. Another person remembers a QC point that isn’t listed. A crucial item fails inspection. And suddenly, everyone’s running around — inspectors, engineers, supervisors — trying to sort things out under the pressure of a looming dispatch date.

Sound familiar? That’s the PDI fire drill. And it happens far too often. That’s where Falco PDI comes in.

Why PDI Breaks Down?

Most Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) processes in equipment manufacturing are still handled manually — often as a last-minute ritual rather than a structured process.

Here’s what typically goes wrong:

• Checklists not linked to the BOM – parts or features missed
• Inspectors working off memory – leads to inconsistencies
• No real-time visibility – managers can’t track progress
• No system of record – difficult to trace who did what, when
• Dispatch pressure – leading to skipped steps or fudged check

And let’s not forget the post-dispatch fallout — field complaints, rework, even customer disputes. All of it avoidable if the PDI had caught the issue.

Why Fixing PDI Is Non-Negotiable

Pre-Delivery Inspection is not just a QA ritual — it’s your last chance to catch issues before they reach the customer.

A good PDI process protects you on multiple fronts

• Reduces cost of post-dispatch fixes
• Prevents loss of brand trust
• Saves service teams from field firefighting
• Improves documentation for ISO audits or OEM certifications
• Helps vendors improve quality by giving structured feedback

So how do you build a PDI system that’s strong, repeatable, and still fast?

Meet Falco PDI — Structured Inspection, Not Memory Games

Falco PDI replaces informal, Excel-based PDI processes with a robust, digital workflow — without slowing you down.

Here’s what it brings:

• Checklist Linked to Actual BOM
  • Automatically generates PDI points based on the exact BOM of the machine — no omissions, no generic forms
• Mobile-Friendly Execution
  • Inspect directly on the shop floor using tablets or phones. No clipboards, no printouts, no chasing people for checkmarks
• Inspector Traceability
  • Every checkpoint is tagged with date, time, inspector identity, and status — creating a full audit trail for every inspection
• Red Flags for Critical Issues
  • Set failure thresholds and red-flag parameters that auto-alert supervisors if certain items fail
• Digital Sign-offs & Approval Flow
  • No approvals get missed. All sign-offs — QC, Production Head, and Dispatch — are mapped into the flow and recorded
• Integrated with Production & Service Modules
  • Inspections feed back into production analytics and service records — helping track failure patterns and drive continuous improvement
