Quality Assurance Rastatt: EuroQ Rastatt Branch

EuroQ Rastatt is located just 5 km from the I-Park and thus from the Mercedes-Benz plant in Rastatt, where models such as the CLA, GLA, and EQA are manufactured. The site offers 350 square meters of service and logistics space for testing, sorting, and rework tasks.

The team led by Operations Manager Adriana Rieser has inspected and reworked over 32 million components for customers in the automotive industry and, increasingly, in other sectors.

Quality Control and Rework in Rastatt

EuroQ Rastatt handles quality control, sorting, inventory, and rework, either in its own facility or directly on-site at the customer’s location. Short-notice assignments to address urgent quality issues are part of daily operations.

If necessary, EuroQ Rastatt sets up a Quality Firewall / Q-Gate / Warenfilter: incoming and outgoing inspections are conducted in a single pass before the goods proceed to the factory. This saves suppliers the cost of special trips and complaint-related expenses while simultaneously improving their delivery quality. All inspection results are digitally recorded via the EuroQ app and can be viewed in real time as reports and Pareto analyses.

Ramp-up Support in Rastatt

The launch of a new vehicle model is the most critical phase in the supply chain. Quality issues that are not addressed during this phase carry over into series production, where they result in costs many times higher than the original correction costs. EuroQ Rastatt is directly on-site during this phase: at the plant, at the supplier’s location, or at external sites.

The team performs component inspections and sorting tasks in parallel with ongoing ramp-up production, reworks defective but reworkable parts directly on-site, and sets up quality filters for critical components. All inspection results are digitally recorded via the EuroQ app and can be viewed in real time.

• Component inspections and sorting in parallel with production
• Reworking of parts that do not fully meet specifications
• Quality Firewall / Q-Gate / Warenfilter for critical parts and assemblies
• Support with initial sample inspections and approval processes
• On-site supplier support at the plant
• Documentation and reporting for OEM escalations

How quickly can EuroQ Rastatt be deployed?

In the event of an urgent quality issue, EuroQ is directly accessible. Here’s how a deployment works:

1. Request via hotline or contact
2. Response from the sales team or the on-site team. Quickest possible cost estimate, depending on the project data provided.
3. Approval and deployment.

Short-Term Containment Measures in Rastatt

When a quality issue escalates in the supply chain, every hour counts. EuroQ Rastatt implements short-term containment measures: processing of quarantined stock, 100% inspection, and sorting of suspected parts.

Typical application scenarios:

• Supplier has reported a quality issue; goods must be quarantined and inspected immediately
• Complaint from an OEM or Tier-1 supplier; traceability and sorting of current inventory
• Risk of production line stoppage; inspection must take place in parallel with ongoing production
• Goods filtering as a temporary solution until a permanent corrective measure is implemented

Operation in our facility vs. directly at the customer’s site

Inspection and rework at the EuroQ Rastatt facility

If components can be transported and there is no assembly line cycle time or sequence pressure, our own facility is the more efficient solution. Inspection stations, ESD equipment, and storage space are immediately available without any setup effort required at the customer’s site.

Quality Firewall / Q-Gate / Warenfilter can be permanently set up at EuroQ Rastatt: incoming inspection, sorting, and outgoing inspection are performed in a single pass before the goods are shipped to the customer.

On-site service directly at the customer’s Location

If components cannot be transported, there is sufficient space at the customer’s site, or inspection must take place close to the assembly line during ongoing production, the team will come to you.

Containment measures, sequence inspections, and rework during startup are performed directly at the production site, without any time lost to transportation.

Service area: approximately a 100-km radius around Rastatt, including Gaggenau, Germersheim, Mannheim, and Wörth.

Electric Mobility, High Voltage and XENTRY Flashing in Rastatt

EuroQ works with certified high-voltage specialists at the HV 1, HV 2, and HV 3 levels. The team handles testing and rework tasks on high-voltage components and electric vehicles.

In practice, HV 1 through HV 3 means that the team can de-energize electric vehicles in order to perform inspections, repairs, and rework. If necessary, the HV 3 specialists can also work on live circuits. In addition, the team holds XENTRY certification, utilizing its own hardware for software updates on finished vehicles and control units that have not yet been installed.

Surface Inspection and Rework in Rastatt

The future surface quality of a vehicle is determined before painting. Steel and aluminum components sometimes exhibit defects in the body shop finish: pitting, burrs, cracks, constrictions, and dents. If these are detected and eliminated before painting, time-consuming rework in the subsequent painting process is avoided.

EuroQ Rastatt inspects and processes steel and aluminum body components in accordance with the quality requirements of the automotive body industry, employing specialists who are trained to identify and eliminate surface defects.

• Removal of pinholes, burrs, tears, constrictions, and dents
• Processing of steel and aluminum components prior to painting

Vehicle Rework and Vehicle Campaigns in Rastatt

EuroQ Rastatt has its own team of automotive technicians and electronics specialists.

• Quality-controlled rework on demand, e.g., replacement of components
• Rework during the ramp-up phase or in series production
• Modification of production vehicles
• Refurbishment, repair, and maintenance of used vehicles, e.g., lease returns
• Retrofitting of missing parts, replacement of components

• Software updates / flashing of control units
• Electric drives and conventional vehicles

What exactly does complaint management look like in Rastatt?

When a complaint is received from an OEM or Tier-1 supplier, the clock starts ticking. Affected components must be identified, quarantined, and inspected before the next delivery call is processed. EuroQ Rastatt handles the operational side of this process: processing quarantined inventory, 100% inspection, and sorting of suspect parts – either directly at the customer’s site or in our own facility.

Our team assists with root cause analysis and documentation for 8D reports. All inspection results are recorded in real time via the EuroQ app and are immediately available for complaint documentation.

• Immediate processing of parts held in quarantine and 100% inspection
• Sorting and rework of parts subject to complaints
• Support with 8D reporting and root cause analysis
• Communication with OEMs or Tier-1 suppliers upon request
