Quality Management on a New Level
As a company certified according to IATF 16949, a consistent, modern Quality Management System (QMS) is of central importance to SWD AG Stator- und Rotortechnik. With the introduction of the modular quality management software BabtecQ, the company is setting new standards in digital quality assurance.
Why BabtecQ?
BabtecQ enables a comprehensive mapping of all quality-related processes – fully digital, interconnected across systems, and sustainably optimized. Thanks to direct integration with the existing ERP system, synergies are created that significantly increase transparency and efficiency throughout the quality management process.
Quality Starts on the Line
A core principle of SWD AG is: “Quality is created on the line.” Quality is ensured right where it originates – at the heart of production. Not just during final inspection, but embedded into every single stage of manufacturing. BabtecQ consistently supports this principle, especially through the integration of FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), which serves as the starting point for all processes. Potential risks and sources of error are identified early, and preventive measures are implemented directly in the production environment.
FMEA as an Integral Part of the QMS
Early risk assessment through FMEA allows for the systematic derivation of preventive measures. This reflects SWD AG’s guiding principles: “Quality is planning” and “Quality is feasibility.” As a result, quality becomes an integral part of the entire value chain.
What our employee says
“With BabtecQ, we’ve implemented a platform that allows us to systematically and transparently plan, control, and analyze quality management across all processes. The intuitive interface and deep integration with our existing systems ensure that quality is not just a claim at SWD AG, but a lived reality,” explains Sascha Erichsen, Quality and Process Manager at SWD AG Stator- und Rotortechnik.

Audit Management Digitalized
Another milestone is the introduction of centralized audit management with BabtecQ. Both internal and external audits are systematically planned, digitally executed, fully documented, and directly linked to production processes. The software supports the continuous maintenance of important certifications – including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and IATF 16949.
Power BI: Data Analysis on a New Level
As part of its digitalization strategy, SWD AG has switched its data analysis platform to Microsoft Power BI. With Power BI, all relevant quality and process data – including information from digital twins – is centrally processed, visualized, and analyzed. This enables real-time insights into production and quality status, well-founded root cause analysis for deviations, and data-driven optimization measures.
Traceability and Customer Transparency
The combination of BabtecQ and Power BI creates a powerful ecosystem for digital quality management. The seamless traceability of manufacturing data and the analysis of actual measurement data strengthen confidence in new customer drawings and tolerances, and promote a collaborative partnership.
Conclusion: Future-Proof with BabtecQ and Power BI
With the successful implementation of BabtecQ and Power BI integration, SWD AG reaffirms its commitment to quality as a strategic success factor – efficient, digital, and future-oriented. Digitalizing quality management not only ensures compliance with standards but actively drives the advancement of internal processes.
