SGS Verifies Multi-Brand Automation Batch for Vietnam

Customer success · Vietnam · SGS inspection

SGS verifies a 13-brand automation batch for a Vietnam customer before shipment.

The result

One inspection visit created a clear evidence trail across PLC, DCS and supporting automation products.

Miya coordinated the customer-approved scope, prepared the mixed-brand batch and supported SGS as each item was matched to its records.

Independent assurance

The customer did not need to rely on a product list alone.

A Vietnam buyer needed confidence across an unusually broad automation order. Moore Automated turned that concern into a controlled on-site review, giving the customer independent physical checks, linked photographs and formal records before shipment.

13

brands in one coordinated scope

From epro and GE to Siemens, ABB and Allen-Bradley.

1:1

item-to-record verification

Visible models, serial details, labels and quantities were checked against the prepared list.

SGS

independent documentation

Inspection evidence and applicable SGS-issued records can be supplied within the agreed scope.

The opportunity

A complete mixed-brand order needed one accountable inspection plan.

The purchase covered PLC, DCS and related automation components rather than one simple product family. The buyer wanted a practical way to review the goods remotely and reduce uncertainty before international shipment.

Instead of asking the customer to travel to China, Miya arranged for SGS personnel to visit Moore Automated and work from the customer-approved inspection scope.

The challenge

Thirteen brands meant thirteen opportunities for a record to be missed.

A mixed batch can include different packaging, label formats, model conventions and serial-number positions. A general room photograph would not be enough. Every line needed to remain traceable to the physical goods and supporting paperwork.

“My responsibility was to make the inspection practical for the customer: prepare every item, answer the inspector’s requests and keep the evidence organised until the review was complete.”Miya Zheng · Sales Director

The inspection ledger

Thirteen brands. One traceable evidence chain.

SGS followed the physical batch from scope control to item identity, on-site query resolution and final records, while Moore Automated kept every requested product and supporting document accessible.

Scope map
Before inspection

The order was divided into reviewable brand and product groups.

Miya’s team staged the mixed PLC and DCS batch against the customer-approved list. This gave the inspector a clear starting point instead of an unstructured room of cartons.

Identity gate
Item by item

Each physical unit had to agree with its record.

SGS checked visible model references, serial identifiers, labels and quantities one item at a time. A product only moved forward when its identity could be connected to the prepared inspection record.

Live coordination

Questions were answered beside the goods—not after shipment.

When the inspector needed a carton opened, another label shown or a document located, Moore personnel responded on site. The team’s cooperation kept inspection questions from becoming later delivery risks.

Observations and product evidence were brought together for the customer’s private review. Customer-specific lists remain confidential, while applicable SGS-issued reports or certificates can be supplied directly when formally issued within scope.

Inspection scope

A broad cross-section of Moore Automated’s high-demand portfolio.

The inspection covered PLC, DCS and related industrial automation components across 13 brands. This breadth made disciplined preparation and item-level matching especially important.

More than product supply

Third-party inspection can be built into the order process.

Customers do not need to accept uncertainty when they cannot visit in person. Moore Automated can coordinate an independent organisation such as SGS to conduct an agreed on-site inspection before shipment.

  • One Moore contact coordinates products, access, timing and questions.
  • The inspector can review visible condition, identification, quantity and documentation within scope.
  • Customers receive organised photographic evidence for remote review.
  • Applicable SGS-issued inspection certificates or reports can be provided once formally issued.

Traceability, not guesswork

What was checked line by line

Because this project involved many brands, the inspection concentrated on connecting each physical item to the customer-approved record.

Brand and product familyMatched to the agreed inspection list
Visible model numberChecked on product or packaging labels
Visible serial numberRecorded where applicable and accessible
Quantity and cartonCompared with the prepared batch record
Exterior conditionReviewed for visible handling or packaging issues
Photographic evidenceLinked to the relevant product and record

Successful outcome

The customer received a reviewable inspection trail—not a promise to “trust the shipment.”

The result was greater control before dispatch: the broad product batch had been physically reviewed by an independent inspection organisation, Moore Automated had supported the process end to end, and the customer could receive structured evidence and applicable SGS documentation.

  • Remote review without sending the customer’s own team to China.
  • Consistent checks across PLC, DCS and related components from 13 brands.
  • Clear ownership through Miya and the Moore Automated operations team.
  • Inspection records available for procurement, quality and internal approval workflows.

Frequently asked questions

Third-party product inspection FAQ

Can Moore Automated arrange an independent third-party inspection before shipment?

Yes. Moore Automated can coordinate an agreed on-site inspection with an independent organisation such as SGS. The practical scope, timing, access and documentation are confirmed before the visit.

What can the SGS inspector verify?

Depending on the agreed scope, the inspector can review visible exterior condition, brand, model and serial identifiers, labels, quantity, cartons, packaging and photographic records. Functional testing or calibration is separate unless expressly included.

Can we receive an SGS certificate or inspection report?

Applicable SGS-issued inspection reports or certificates can be supplied after completion when they are formally issued within the agreed service scope. Moore Automated coordinates the service but does not represent itself as SGS or issue SGS certification.

Can one inspection cover several brands and both PLC and DCS products?

Yes. This Vietnam project covered products from 13 brands across PLC, DCS and related automation categories. A detailed approved list is essential so every item can be matched to the correct record.

Does third-party inspection guarantee compatibility or performance?

No. A visual or documentary inspection confirms only the items within its stated scope. Compatibility, configuration and functional performance must be confirmed separately against the customer’s technical requirements.

How do we request this service?

Send your product list, required checks, destination and documentation expectations to your Moore Automated contact. We will help define the scope and coordinate timing with the selected inspection organisation.

Need independent evidence before your automation order ships?
