Your Production Flow
Every batch. Every rework. Every test failure tracked.
This is how a print job moves through your business. Clicarity gives you live visibility at every phase — and flags delays before they become client calls.
01
Order & Kit Preparation
4 stages
Work Order Released
Production work order raised from customer order or forecast.
✓ Clicarity: Job ID created, BOM linked, kitting initiated
BOM Verification
Bill of materials verified — component types, values, and quantities.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: BOM error found only when components reach the line
Component Kitting
All components pulled from stores and kitted per BOM for the job.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: one component short or wrong value — entire kit held
Kit Inspection
Kitted components verified for correct part numbers and quantities.
✓ Clicarity: Kit verified quantity logged — shortage flagged before line start
02
PCB Assembly
5 stages
Solder Paste Printing
Solder paste applied to PCB pads through stencil.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: poor paste print — defects cascade through entire SMT run
SMT Component Placement
Surface mount components placed on PCB using pick and place machine.
✓ Clicarity: Quantity in/out tracked — placement batch count logged
Reflow Soldering
PCBs pass through reflow oven — solder joints formed by controlled heating.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: profile deviation — batch rejection at AOI
Through-Hole Insertion
Through-hole components manually or auto-inserted into PCB.
Wave / Selective Soldering
Through-hole components soldered via wave or selective solder machine.
✓ Clicarity: Solder batch quantity tracked, AOI result logged per batch
03
Inspection & Testing
5 stages
AOI — Automated Optical Inspection
Boards inspected by AOI machine for placement and solder defects.
✓ Clicarity: AOI pass/fail rate tracked, defect category logged per run
ICT — In-Circuit Test
Board tested for open circuits, shorts, and component values.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: high ICT failure rate — root cause unknown without data
Functional Test
Board powered and tested for full functional performance.
✓ Clicarity: First-pass yield tracked — improvement visible over batches
Rework
Failed boards sent to rework station for defect diagnosis and repair.
✓ Clicarity: Every rework board tracked — reason, time, and result logged
Re-Test After Rework
Reworked boards re-enter testing queue for full functional test.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: repeat failures increase rework WIP silently
04
Final Assembly & Finishing
3 stages
Box Build / Final Assembly
PCBs assembled into enclosures with connectors, displays, and hardware.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: one enclosure component missing holds entire final assembly
Conformal Coating
Coating applied for moisture or environmental protection where required.
Labelling & Programming
Product labels applied, firmware programmed if required.
✓ Clicarity: Firmware version logged at programming stage per unit
05
QC & Dispatch
3 stages
Final QC
Complete product inspected for cosmetic, functional, and safety compliance.
✓ Clicarity: Final pass/fail rate logged, rejection reason by category tracked
Packing
Products packed with accessories, manuals, and warranty cards.
✓ Clicarity: Packed quantity vs work order quantity confirmed
Dispatch
Order dispatched with test certificates and delivery documents.
✓ Clicarity: Full traceability from BOM to dispatch preserved per serial/batch
Where Electronics Manufacturers Lose Batches & Margin
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps electronics businesses identify and fix within the first few weeks.
Rework WIP
Rework boards disappearing for 4+ days — nobody knew how many or why
An electronics assembly unit had no visibility into their rework station. Average rework cycle time was 4.6 days and repeat failures — same board going through rework twice — were common but unquantified. With Clicarity tracking every rework entry with defect reason, they identified three repeat failure modes in the first month. All three were fixed. Rework cycle time dropped to 1.9 days.
Rework cycle time reduced from 4.6 to 1.9 days
AOI Failures
Reflow profile deviation causing 18% AOI failure rate — found after full batch
A PCB assembly shop tracked AOI pass/fail rate by batch. One particular product was running at 18% AOI failure — but the cause was only investigated after the batch was complete. Clicarity showed the failures were concentrated in the first 20% of each batch — indicating a reflow oven warm-up issue. Profile adjustment reduced AOI failures to 2.1%.
AOI failure rate reduced from 18% to 2.1%
Kit Shortage
Component shortage at kitting discovered only when line started — 3 hours lost
An assembly unit tracked kit completion at a stage before line start. Component shortages were being discovered only when the line operator found a missing part — after setup was complete. Average line stop: 3.2 hours while stores sourced the component. With kitting as a pre-verified stage, shortages are found the day before. Line stops from kit issues: eliminated.
Line stops from kit shortages eliminated
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""Our rework was invisible — boards went into rework and came out days later. Nobody knew how many, why, or how long. Now I see rework WIP live and the reason code for every board. We fixed three repeat defects in the first month.""

Questions from electronics businesses
How does Clicarity work for a printing business specifically?
Clicarity is configured around your specific print workflow — pre-press, printing, finishing, dispatch — in your terminology. Every job gets a unique ID and moves through your defined stages. You see live status, timestamps, and bottleneck alerts at every stage. The Clicarity team builds everything for you. You go live in 5 days.
Does it work for both offset and digital printing?
Yes. Clicarity works for any print process — offset, digital, wide format, screen printing, or a combination. The stages are configured around your actual workflow. If offset jobs go through plate making and digital jobs skip that stage, both can be tracked correctly under the same system.
Can it track material wastage at each stage?
Yes — with the Multi Licence. At every stage, your team logs quantity in and quantity out. Clicarity calculates the loss automatically. You see wastage by stage, by job, live — not at month-end when nothing can be done about it.
Will my press operators actually use it?
Yes. The update screen has two fields — Job ID and status. Under a minute. No training needed. GP Offset's entire team was using it from day one, including floor workers who had never used a software system before.
See every batch. Every test result. Every rework — live.
