NWA Quality Monitor provides manufacturers with a single solution for plant-floor SPC; standardising workflow procedures, automating data collection, and providing real-time SPC feedback throughout the operation.
The latest version of NWA Quality Monitor has the following enhancements: • Writing to external databases.
Quality Monitor now writes data from the current data set directly to an external ODBC-compliant database and can link directly to laboratory information management systems (LIMS), enabling users to analyse their data in the package that best suits their needs.
Quality Monitor writes to a single table, and in most cases will write to queries, views and procedures.
• Custom menus for workstations.
Quality Monitor now includes the ability to create custom menus for launching data entry screens on workstations.
The new Menu Editor lets users create configurable, multi-level hierarchical menus organised to simplify selection of data entry screens.
This allows a single screen design to be used with multiple data sets (that have identical structure).
• New calculation functions.
Quality Monitor now supports additional time and date calculation functions to return specific date- and time-related values.
• 'Required' entries.
Any or all data fields on a screen may be defined as 'required'.
During use, Quality Monitor will not let a user leave the current record until all required fields are entered.
• New examples.
There are three new example data sets.
The 'BatchDB' example writes data to a Microsoft Access database after each record is entered.
The 'Outfall' example writes 'normalised' data to a Microsoft Access database after each record is entered.
The 'HACCP' example is a data-entry screen that might be used by a food processor to collect HACCP data.
• New function for basing values of one field on the value of another.
The new 'when' function allows users to set the value of a variable based on the value of another variable (for example, Grade = 1 when Score is greater than 90 but less than 100. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
