• Beacon Quality V1.23 Opt-in Beta – Beacon Quality upgraded its foundational architecture to increase performance, improve stability, and to keep Beacon Quality relevant with future technologies. Users can opt into the beta now by clicking the “!” icon on the top right of the screen while logged into the app.

The Now

• Technology Upgrade V1.23 – By the end of June, the beta will be the live version for everyone on Beacon Quality.
• Corrective Actions Improvements – Beacon Quality is starting on improvements to the corrective actions module:
  • Distinct and granular for permissions
  • More setup options to ensure consistency in corrective actions records
  • More notifications to people that need to stay informed
  • More options for sharing
  • Lessons Learned - Push corrective actions to other plants for review

What’s Next?

• Android App – All the same functionality as Beacon Quality’s iOS app will be coming to Android.
• Scheduling performance – Beacon Quality’s engineering team is looking at how to improve the scheduling speed while keeping all the same functionality users currently enjoy from the audit scheduler.
• Most popular user requests – Based on the top requests from Beacon Quality’s existing users, which can be found here: https://easeinc.tpondemand.com/helpdesk/requests

Later

• Mitigation Enhancements – Many of Beacon Quality’s product requests revolve around mitigations, and thus there is an opportunity to combine these requests into an overhaul of mitigations.
