Quality is no longer a luxury for the most innovative companies.
The advent of new technologies, which have revolutionized the industrial world for the fourth time in the last three centuries, makes it necessary to rethink the issue of Quality management, considering the new opportunities these technologies provide and the adjustments that need to be made at various levels.
The tools currently available allow for a radical change in the way industry operates and produces, bringing about opportunities and changes for the Quality realm as well, where data management assumes an even more critical role that all companies must consider without hesitation.
The entire process of digitizing data becomes crucial, with certain software tools assuming greater priority over others

“Industry 4.0: la nuova qualità che tutte le aziende adotteranno“.
The possibilities of Industry 4.0 are realized through two important axes:
- Vertical integration of company production systems, enabling the virtual reproduction of hierarchical systems within the organization.
- Horizontal integration through Value Chains, facilitating inter-company collaboration where information can flow across different organizations.
- Digital integration of all data.
The new Quality 4.0 is characterized as the principle guiding the collection of production data through vertical and horizontal integrations of systems. Data digitization enables diagnostic quality data to be brought from the production level to where decisions can be made, and vice versa. In this sense, IT solutions become crucial in optimizing the entire production system.
Industry 4.0 systems have elevated Quality to an area no longer confined to compliance processes or obtaining more or less important business development marks. Today, Quality forms the basis of data aggregation processes generated by Industry 4.0 systems.
The software systems commonly used in this context to gather Industry 4.0 data include supplier non-conformance detection systems, acceptance quality control systems, and CAD data capture systems. A system designed to maximize the benefits of the Industry 4.0 approach should incorporate all these information tools and integrate them into a unified Quality 4.0 System.
