Quality Control in Electric Wheelchair Manufacturing at HALO INTERNATIONAL

At HALO INTERNATIONAL, we understand that electric wheelchairs are more than just mobility devices—they are lifelines for users who depend on them daily. That’s why we implement a rigorous quality control (QC) system at every stage of production, ensuring each wheelchair meets the highest standards of safety, durability, and performance.

1. Material Selection & Supplier Audits

Quality begins with the right materials. We: 

✔ Source premium-grade components (aluminum frames, medical-grade upholstery, UL-certified batteries) 

✔ Audit suppliers regularly to ensure compliance with ISO 13485 and FDA standards 

✔ Conduct material stress tests before production begins

2. Precision Manufacturing with Automated QC

Our AI-assisted production line minimizes human error while maintaining: 

✔ Laser-guided assembly for frame welding accuracy (±0.1mm tolerance) 

✔ Real-time sensor monitoring of motor and gearbox alignment 

✔ Automated weight distribution tests to verify structural integrity

3. Multi-Stage Performance Testing

Before leaving the factory, every wheelchair undergoes:

A. Electrical Safety Checks

• Battery cycle testing (500+ charge/discharge cycles)
• Waterproofing validation (IPX4 rating for controller units)
• Short-circuit and overload protection tests

B. Mechanical Durability Trials

• 10,000+ rolling tests on simulated terrain (cobblestones, ramps, carpets)
• Drop tests from 15cm height (exceeding EN 12184 standards)
• Static load tests at 150% of maximum weight capacity

C. User Comfort & Ergonomics Validation

• Pressure mapping on seats to prevent sores
• 50+ adjustment combinations tested for armrests/footrests
• Vibration analysis for smooth ride comfort

4. Final Inspection & Traceability

✔ 100% manual inspection by certified QC technicians 

✔ Barcode tracking system for full component traceability 

✔ 72-hour aging test before packaging

Why Our QC Process Matters

• 0.3% defect rate (industry average: 2-5%)
• 5-year lower failure rate compared to competitors
• 95% customer satisfaction in post-purchase surveys

At HALO INTERNATIONAL, quality isn’t just checked—it’s engineered into every step. Our wheelchairs don’t just meet certifications; they exceed expectations where it counts: real-world reliability.
