DataPage/RT DataPage/RealTime SPC software quickly turns raw measurement data into valuable information for monitoring and improving manufacturing processes. Employing a full range of analytical tools and resting upon a robust, scalable database technology, it meets the needs of manufacturing organizations of all sizes ranging from the small shop to the largest multi-nationals. It easily manages the high data volumes generated by most advanced measurement equipment.
DataPage reports are concise and easy to understand. On the shop floor, it tracks, verifies and analyzes data coming from a range of inspection operations. The results are single page reports that chart and graphically display part quality information and give shop floor personnel immediate, meaningful feedback. For in-depth studies, managers and engineers can query its database for the information they need to track and improve their processes, to plan for the long term and to provide clear-cut documentation of product quality to customers and vendors.
DataPage/RealTime gives users what they need to isolate information critical to controlling and improving their
processes. It also helps them present this information in the most effective way.
DataPage:
- Includes a wide range of customizable reports and charts such as X-Bar and R, X-Bar and S, X-Tilde
and R charts, Histograms, Target Charts, and Cumulative Probability Plots. - Supports industry standard SPC tests and analysis including AT&T tests, Capability Analysis, Inference
of Process Control and Distribution Statistics. - Monitors processes in real time giving immediate feedback. Prevents small errors from growing into major problems.
- Connects to a wide range of measurement systems, data collectors and software. Its DataBase is easily accessible by a range of third party software products.
- Evaluates gage repeatability and reproducibility with a user friendly GR&R module. Provides a powerful tool for evaluating gaging practices.
- Assesses quality based on part attributes. Straightforward Pareto charts highlight problems and areas for improvement with a glance.
- Allows user defined trace fields for tracking manufacturing and measurement variables. This eases the task of Root Cause Analysis.
Collect and analyze data easily so that you can take control of your processes.
SPC-Light™ has been implemented in a wide variety of manufacturing industries, from automotive to electronic and from steel to glass. Generate reports to monitor performance and achieve sustainable improvements in quality and profitability.
Simple configuration
SPC-Light™ is easy to learn; it’s intuitive, it’s quick to work with as the frequent tasks that you perform can be defined as the system defaults. SPC programs and measurement routines can be quickly created and easily modified with password privileges. Most users are up and running within just a few hours following the easy installation! With all this simplicity you would be forgiven for thinking SPC-Light™ is a basic (or LITE!) product – far from it… The art is to provide a tool that can be adapted for a wide range of users from first time PC users to power users who expect the very best. SPC-Light™ provides limitless permutations of logon accounts with each user account having the ability to have unique menu and toolbar configurations.
Powerful data collection 
Flexible data collection is one of the key factors if SPC is to become successful in your organization. Unless you are using SPC-Light™ exclusively in the office environment it is likely that you will have a huge and complex array of measuring systems that you would like to interface. From the conventional hand tool to the most sophisticated CMM, SPC-Light™ has the engine to cope! Measuring tools can either be connected directly to any of the available COM ports on the PC, through a multiplexer or through our range of Exodus data collectors. SPC-Light™ is so sophisticated that in many cases a CMM output file can automatically create the SPC-Light™ program for you – this not only gets the job done a lot faster but it ensures the two systems remain synchronized.
Clear Presentation 
To get the best acceptance on the shopfloor you need to present the information in a format that operators can easily interpret.
Arrange the screen to maximize the number of characteristics shown. Scroll through the data and zoom in or out to your preference
Present the data alongside the chart, view an image of the product or link the SPC study to an external document
Often, for shopfloor use the screens are locked into position. This ensures that users always view the data in a consistent and familiar way, it also prevents unauthorized users from experimenting with settings and accidentally getting themselves into difficulties.
Create studies that include variables or attributes; or you can combine the two
The Capability Overview chart shows multiple variables side by side, this shows the process spread relative to the variable tolerance
Powerful analysis
Process improvement can only come about if you are able to understand the factors that effect performance.
Ever wondered how the process performs by shift, tool, material supplier etc. Using the powerful filtering you can now produce capability reports by any criteria
Analyze the position of bores and holes by plotting the CircleX against CircleY, then establish how much to move the fixture in X and Y to optimize the process
Produce a Pareto of Causes & Actions to determine the most common faults occurring during production – focus on the common problems
Allow SPC-Light™ to automatically test the distribution for normality and provide accurate capability indices
