Collect shop-floor data in real-time from virtually any source—gauges, devices, machines, and other data sources. Our flexible SPC software comes with a simple three-step connection process that makes it easy to simply connect and begin collecting data from almost anything.

• Connect and collect data from any RS232 serial or USB device
• Capture data from text files, .csv files, Microsoft Excel, any ODBC-compliant database, or machines such as CMMs or PLCs
• Integrate with other manufacturing systems using ODBC, OPC, OLE, DDE, and built-in APIs supports hundreds of methods and properties

Empower your operators with actionable intelligence and statistical analysis on plant performance. Our SPC software includes real-time control charts on the shop floor and plant monitor functionality to enable your team to immediately detect and correct process issues and manage your operations more effectively. It runs on the desktop and shows accurate statistics for every data collection station in one convenient window—giving managers a summary view of their plant’s performance from a single screen.

Automatically alert personnel, execute custom programs, shut down machines, or engage other systems if a non-conformance or rule violation occurs using DataNet’s built-in triggers. Whether your requirements are as simple as sending an email or as complex as triggering a process within a corrective action system, our SPC solution gives you the power to close the quality loop from “detection-to-correction.”

• Use a simple pull-down menu to schedule a variety of different notifications and alarms for nearly any condition
• Program your own custom triggers to schedule enterprise-wide alarms or communicate bidirectionally with other systems or machines or send a command to a device

Identify the hidden cost of give-away, overfill, rework or scrap that weaken a company’s profits using DataNet’s Cost Inspector. The Cost Inspector links manufacturing cost information with current and historical process data, empowering quality teams to:

• Search process data across all operations to uncover costly process problems
• Identify sources of give-away, overfill, scrap or waste
• Calculate potential savings per unit by reducing process variation or shifting processes to optimal mean
• Translate process improvement statistics into dollars saved for the company
• Produce cost-based reports to show executive management the return on investments in quality

Answer questions, detect changes, discover trends, and make decisions that count with DataNet’s data sets, variable analyzer, and custom reports.

• Data Sets: Identify, prevent, and prioritize quality issues at a macro level. Unlike the traditional microscopic nature of SPC, which focuses on a specific variable, data sets offer a broad view of your database—enabling you to proactively monitor and uncover high-priority issues.
• Variable Analyzer: Experiment, visualize, and reveal more information about any variable using the one-click variable analyzer. The variable analyzer delivers both point-of-production and historical analysis capabilities. It puts an entire set of statistical tools at your fingertips—giving you a comprehensive view of your data from one convenient screen.
• Reports: Quickly create, publish, and share quality reports across your organization using our easy-to-use graphical report builder and dozens of standard report templates.
