Palletiser Audit App

Palletiser Audit App turns palletiser audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each palletiser against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare palletiser audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.

What is Palletiser Audit App?

Palletiser Audit App runs a scored palletiser audit covering perimeter guarding and gates, light curtains and interlocks, gripper, layer former, or robot head, conveyor infeed and pallet dispenser, and emergency stops and safe access, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, palletiser findings live on paper and in chat. A palletiser fault such as guard or gate interlock faults slips through. An audit then means rebuilding palletiser evidence from folders.

Palletiser Audit App keeps one record per palletiser and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each palletiser finding is tracked to verified closure. Packaging automation teams see palletiser completion and overdue actions across the manufacturing portfolio. Every palletiser record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Palletiser Audit App?

A comprehensive palletiser audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit palletiser operations with structured scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for perimeter guarding and gates; light curtains and interlocks; and gripper, layer former, or robot head, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.

How to Use Palletiser Audit App

A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a palletiser audit:

  1. Open the palletiser audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
  2. Score each palletiser against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
  3. Let the app calculate the section and overall palletiser score so the site is comparable to others.
  4. Raise a corrective action for each failed palletiser criterion with an owner and due date.
  5. Sign off the palletiser audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.

What Does a Palletiser Audit Cover?

A palletiser audit scores condition against machinery safety standards and PUWER, checking perimeter guarding and gates, light curtains and interlocks, gripper, layer former, or robot head, conveyor infeed and pallet dispenser, emergency stops and safe access, and controls, jams, and stability. Each palletiser finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the palletiser audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

What Palletiser Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere

Palletiser work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Palletiser Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Palletiser Audit App: You find out about a palletiser problem from a complaint

You find out about a palletiser problem from a complaint

There is no live view of palletiser status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the palletiser is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.

Problem

  • No live view of palletiser status across sites
  • Palletiser problems surface as complaints, not as data
  • Palletiser risk is invisible until it becomes an incident

Solution

  • Live multi-site dashboard of palletiser completion and open issues
  • Palletiser risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
  • Configurable dashboards filter palletiser results by site and date
Palletiser Audit App: Every auditor scores the palletiser audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

Every auditor scores the palletiser audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The palletiser audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.

Problem

  • Palletiser scoring depends on which auditor showed up
  • Palletiser sections get skipped with no record
  • Palletiser scores are not comparable across sites

Solution

  • Weighted palletiser criteria baked into the audit template
  • Mandatory palletiser sections, so nothing is skipped
  • Comparable palletiser scores that roll up across the estate
Palletiser Audit App: Assigned contractor signs off the palletiser fix, and nobody checks it

Assigned contractor signs off the palletiser fix, and nobody checks it

A defect on the palletiser is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the palletiser defect is marked closed. Whether the palletiser work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.

Problem

  • Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
  • Poor palletiser fixes are only found at the next inspection
  • No record of which palletiser partners actually perform

Solution

  • Closure photo required before any palletiser action is signed off
  • Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
  • Re-opened palletiser actions linked back to the original finding

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Palletiser Audit App check on a palletiser audit?

Palletiser Audit App runs a scored palletiser audit against machinery safety standards and PUWER, checking perimeter guarding and gates, light curtains and interlocks, gripper, layer former, or robot head, conveyor infeed and pallet dispenser, and emergency stops and safe access. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for packaging automation teams rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.

Which palletiser defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The audit targets the palletiser failures that matter most: guard or gate interlock faults, light curtain faults, gripper or head faults, and infeed jams. Left unchecked, a fault such as guard or gate interlock faults can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so packaging automation teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.

Which standards does Palletiser Audit App support for palletiser work?

Palletiser Audit App keeps palletiser checks aligned to machinery safety standards and PUWER. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, packaging automation teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.

Can teams run palletiser checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Palletiser Audit App is offline-first: teams complete palletiser checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So packaging automation teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.

What evidence proves a palletiser audit was completed?

Every completed palletiser audit carries guard and gate photo, light curtain test note, and gripper photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, packaging automation teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
