ISO 9001 Certification – EU Automation

Industry: Industrial Automation & Engineering
Standard: ISO 9001

EU Automation required ongoing support to maintain the effectiveness of its Quality Management System and prepare for ISO 9001 surveillance audits. The business operates within a fast-paced engineering and industrial automation environment where consistency, customer service and process control are critical.

AlineX supported internal auditing, management system maintenance and surveillance audit preparation activities, helping ensure continued compliance with ISO 9001 requirements. Following a successful surveillance assessment, the organisation maintained certification and demonstrated the ongoing effectiveness of its Quality Management System.

Rob Westwood, ISO consultant and founder of AlineX, providing expert support for ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certification

Hi, I'm Rob.

I founded AlineX after spending years working within industry and later as an external Certification Auditor. Throughout my career I've seen first-hand the difference that well-implemented management systems can make to organisations, but I've also seen how unnecessarily complex they can become when they're designed purely to achieve certification.

That's why AlineX focuses on practical solutions. I help organisations implement ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 management systems that not only satisfy certification requirements but also support business objectives, reduce risk and improve performance.

With experience across manufacturing, quality, environmental management and Health & Safety, I understand the realities businesses face and the pressures managers operate under. My consultancy approach is built around making compliance straightforward, achievable and beneficial to the organisation.

You can learn more about my background, qualifications and experience on the About AlineX page.
