SPC Direct for Windows^TM

On-line SPC Software Easy to Use on the Shop-floor

Stochos is proud to announce the latest release of SPC Direct^TM,an extremely flexible, user-definable, real-time, on-line, Statistical Process Control Monitoring and Analysis database now available in the easy to use Windows 95, 98 or NT interface. Stochos realizes that shop floor SPC can present some unique problems, so we made a unique package specifically designed for the factory floor.

SPC Direct's tools include: On-line data collection & storage in a Microsoft SQL Server 7.0^TM database, process capability & performance indices, environmental condition tracking, operating procedure display, control charts, histograms, cause of failure logging, and corrective action display.

SPC Direct is unique in the real-time world in that it simultaneously updates all SPC charts and associated calculations as the data is collected. All violations of control tests and/or specification limits are immediately conveyed to the operator via an on-screen alarm. This "watchdog" approach eliminates the need for operators to view each chart to check for out-of-control conditions, and frees up their time for more productive tasks. On-line control charts include: X and Moving range, Xbar & Range, Xbar & Sigma, Moving Xbar & Range, EWMA, as well as P, nP, C, and U Charts.

As part of its shop floor design, SPC Direct can accept both manual and direct gage input as well as automatically poll larger process control data acquisition systems.

Reducing variability in all aspects of a process is the aim of Statistical Process Control. Moving SPC analysis from the office to the shop floor allows one to detect and respond to process shifts as quickly as possible, thereby saving time and money through increased efficiency and reduced scrap rates. If your goals are process improvement and increased profitability, SPC Direct is for you!
