Steelhead Automatic Coating Thickness Logs
Through the day, WebRun opens Steelhead, reads the coating thickness readings logged against each lot, checks every value against the part's specified minimum and maximum, appends the readings to a Google Sheet capability log, and sends a Telegram alert the moment a lot reads under or over its callout so the line can react before more parts run.
How do I monitor coating thickness against spec on every plating lot?
WebRun tracks coating thickness against spec through the day. It reads the thickness readings logged in Steelhead, checks each lot against its callout minimum and maximum, appends them to a Google Sheet capability log, and sends a Telegram alert the moment a reading drifts out of tolerance, so the line reacts before more parts run out of spec.
- Out-of-spec lots trigger an alert within the hour, not at final inspection
- A running capability log builds from every reading automatically
- Inspectors keep measuring while WebRun watches the limits

Steelhead Technologies - read thickness readings
gosteelhead.com
WebRun opens Steelhead to read the coating thickness readings. - Open Steelhead and read the latest coating thickness readings per lot
- Capture the part number, spec range, measured value, and inspector
- Compare each reading to the specified minimum and maximum for that part
Done when Every logged thickness reading is checked against its spec range.
-
2
Google Sheets - log thickness against spec
google.com
WebRun logs each thickness reading against its spec in the Sheet. - Open the thickness capability workbook and append each new reading
- Track the running average and spread against the spec limits per part
- Highlight readings near or beyond a limit for later capability review
Done when New readings are logged with their position against spec.

Telegram - alert out-of-tolerance lots
telegram.org
WebRun sends a Telegram alert for out-of-tolerance lots. - Send an alert the moment a lot reads under or over its callout range
- Name the part, the reading, the limit, and the inspector
- Leave the hold or rework decision to quality. WebRun does not change a disposition
Done when Any out-of-tolerance lot has triggered a Telegram alert.

Questions, answered
Does it hold or reject any lots on its own?
No. WebRun reads the thickness readings and alerts you when one is out of tolerance. It never places a hold, changes a disposition, or reworks a lot. Quality makes that call on every part.
Where do the thickness readings come from?
From the coating thickness measurements your inspectors already log against each lot in Steelhead. WebRun reads those entries and checks them against the part spec. It does not measure parts itself.
How fast will I hear about an out-of-spec reading?
Within the hour. WebRun checks new readings every hour during shop hours and sends a Telegram alert the moment a lot reads outside its callout, so you can react before the whole run is affected.
