Remote Monitoring Service
Automated, intelligent monitoring of data streams can look for statistical violations or out of specification events.
Quality Event Dashboard
Provides real-time view of the entire manufacturing enterprise for managers, supervisors and other key quality team personnel.
Control Chart Dashboard
Real-time monitoring interface highlights colour-coded control charts for easy interpretation by users.
Workflow Management Features
Dynamic Sampling Workflow
Process Alarms
Visual indicators on the Plant Floor Interface of a statistical rule violation in the process or of data out of definition specification limits.
Automated Alerts
Condition-based communications to staff members over email/SMS.
Dynamic Sampling Workflow
Provides operators with a timed checklist for scheduled quality checks and automatically reminds users when data collection is needed. If process state conditions change, it dynamically alters data collection requirements.
Closed Loop Control
