SPC Module

Automate SPC data collection and enhance quality analysis

Ensure that Statistical Process Control (SPC) data is accurately and timely collected with the SPC module. SPC assists in reducing or eliminating late or missing sample collection, inaccurate sample data, or other issues leading to quality problems. Deliver your SPC data in real-time to the right people in a comprehensive format using flexible control charts and analysis tools.

Increase accuracy and prevent late SPC samples

Taking accurate, regularly scheduled samples is essential to maintaining quality. That’s why we’ve made it easy to automatically schedule samples in real-time using the SPC module. You can take samples based on actual production conditions and utilize convenient, automated alerts to ensure samples are never missed. Customizing a sampling schedule is straightforward and entirely flexible, allowing you to meet the requirements of your unique production environment.

Key features of the SPC module

Automatic alerts for out-of-control conditions
To ensure quality, it’s crucial to keep processes within acceptable control limits. This is achieved by identifying out-of-control variations as quickly as possible without human intervention. The system automatically alerts you when an out-of-control condition or bogus sample data is detected. Alerts are easily customizable, allowing you to configure the module to send email or SMS notifications, flash a screen indicator, halt production, or apply a variety of other alerting methods. Each time a sample is taken, this module evaluates for out-of-control conditions and automatically notifies you if they are present. With SPC, you can quickly identify and address runaway variations before they become a larger issue.

Customize charts
All the data in the world is meaningless without proper analysis tools, which is why we built this module with a full suite of powerful and flexible SPC control charts. Based on security roles, control limits can be calculated and interactively set on the control charts. The “additional factors” feature gives you the flexibility to associate and visualize other production information alongside SPC data. With customizable display settings for charts, tables, control limits, and signals, you have the ability to see the information you need, how you want it.

Connect to virtually any device
SPC data can come from various sources. That’s why this module comes with the tools you need to collect them. Built with support for automatically collecting data from PLC devices, OPC devices, laboratory instruments, RS232 devices, USB devices, data files, web services, and external databases.
