FATs drag on because open points aren’t owned
Too much time spent writing the same work twice
Open points disappear until someone escalates
Every factory reinvents the FAT each time
How Lumiform works for factory acceptance tests
Build FAT protocols once so every factory runs the same steps, while Lumiform turns failures into tracked actions and generates consistent reports automatically.
1. Build or import your FAT protocol

2. Run the FAT at the factory or vendor site

3. Assign failed checks so they get closed

4. Find results fast and prevent repeat failures
Faster FAT closure, fewer open points
Teams speed up FAT closure because actions are owned and tracked, while evidence and reports are generated from the same execution data.

Industries that run factory acceptance tests on Lumiform
Any team commissioning complex equipment needs repeatable FATs because evidence, ownership, and reporting determine whether issues close before shipment and handover.

Industrial machinery & equipment
Commissioning teams run FATs by machine, attach specs per step, and assign failed checks immediately so fixes happen before shipment and sign-off stays clean.

Energy & utilities
Quality teams capture evidence at each test point, then generate consistent sign-off reports so stakeholders trust results across turbines, switchgear, and control systems.

Rail & transportation
Inspectors track outcomes by unit number and compare runs over time so recurring faults surface early and customer reporting stays consistent without extra rework.

Oil, gas & process engineering
Vendor FATs produce timestamped, structured evidence so client reps can review faster and open points stay tracked until closed before equipment leaves the factory.

Medical device manufacturing
FATs align to IQ/OQ needs because results, deviations, and approvals are captured in a traceable trail, which supports FDA and CE documentation expectations.

Automation & systems integration
Integrators assign punch items to subcontractors with deadlines so resolution stays visible across projects and customer deliverables come from one controlled data set.

Common questions
Yes. Lumiform lets you upload an existing Excel file or PDF to generate a new template directly, so you are not starting from a blank form. For large checklists with up to 1,000 test items, this saves significant setup time compared to manual recreation. Once uploaded, you can edit the structure, add logic, and configure fields within the form builder before rolling it out to your teams.
Yes. You can configure forms so that mandatory fields and signature capture are required before submission is allowed. Inspectors cannot submit an incomplete report. This directly addresses the quality problem where inspectors forget to fill in fields or skip uploading a customer signature. Every submitted report contains the complete, structured data you need, with no follow-up chasing required.
Yes. Inspectors capture photos directly at the specific checklist item where a defect is found. The photo is linked to that item in the report, so you can trace exactly which checkpoint it belongs to. This replaces the current approach of managing hundreds of photos in Excel rows and makes it clear during review which photo corresponds to which test point or correction.
Lumiform handles large, complex checklists including those with hundreds of test items. You can structure them with sections, conditional logic, and mandatory fields throughout. The mobile app works offline, so inspectors complete the full checklist on the factory floor without depending on a stable connection. This is a direct replacement for large Excel files that become unmanageable at scale with multiple open points and photo attachments.
Yes. One person with admin access can build a protocol in the form builder without IT involvement, then assign it to a small test group before wider rollout. No coding is required. This matches the approach of picking one interested colleague per team, letting them build and test the acceptance protocol with a few others, and using that feedback to confirm the tool works before committing to a full rollout.
Lumiform auto-generates PDF reports from completed inspections, and you can configure the report layout including company name, sections, and information structure. However, if your required format is a fixed mandatory template such as a ZIG/C23 report that must match exactly field-for-field, you should confirm with Lumiform’s team whether the report customization covers your specific format requirements before committing to the tool.
Lumiform supports QR code scanning to identify entities such as assets, locations, or units, which can trigger the correct associated form. For alphanumeric serial numbers scanned via an external barcode scanner connected to a Windows PC, you should confirm with Lumiform’s team whether that specific hardware setup is supported. The platform is designed to link inspections to specific entities, but your exact scanner and workstation configuration needs to be verified before deployment.
This is a specific requirement that goes beyond Lumiform’s standard report configuration. The platform generates reports per completed inspection, and you can customize report layouts and fields. However, generating four separate client-specific reports from a single inspection, where shared content is identical but header data and product verification sections differ per client, is a workflow you should raise directly with Lumiform’s team to confirm whether it can be configured within current capabilities.
Completed inspections are stored centrally and can be filtered and searched through the analytics and forms sections on the desktop. You can filter by entity, location, date, and other criteria. Whether you can search specifically by serial number across all protocols and pull all 24 fields into a consolidated table view depends on how your entities and forms are configured. Raise this specific database-style query requirement with Lumiform’s team to confirm the right setup.
