Maximize Efficiency Across Your Manufacturing Processes and Operations

Gain visibility into quality, process capabilities, and variations to reduce waste, scrap, and rework; improve yield and utilization; and make your plant floor operations more productive.

Monitor supplier quality
To make a great product, you need great materials. Supplier delays or raw material interruptions can spell disaster to your production timeline. With InfinityQS®, you can analyze the quality and consistency of your raw materials and suppliers as well as your finished product.

Capture quality data from across the enterprise
Ditch the paper, spreadsheets, and manual data entry. Consistent, reliable data is the bedrock of manufacturing optimization. With InfinityQS, you can automate collection of process and quality data from across your plants and manufacturing lines. And when data is centralized and unified, you get anytime, anywhere access to information from any process or site.

Optimize & standardize processes
When you understand the capability of your systems and processes, you can optimize their quality and performance. InfinityQS solutions provide the means to access that insight—across one line, an entire site, or multiple sites. Access historical data to see trends over time and more easily track down process issues before they become serious problems.

Accelerate data analysis
Automated data collection and aggregation make analysis of your enterprise-wide data faster and easier. Add flexible, automated reporting capabilities and the advice of our expert analytical experts, and you’ve got unbeatable insight into your operations.

Improve decision making
The ability to analyze historical data from all your processes and product lines—true enterprise visibility—gives you unprecedented operational insight. Feeds, speeds, temperatures, weights—get all the metrics you need to make strategic decisions.

Unify data for universal access
With InfinityQS, all your data is stored in a central, unified location rather than in separate data silos spread across the enterprise. As a result, processes and quality are in control—and data analyses are more comprehensive and complete.

Costs of a Real-Time SPC Solution

Many manufacturers worry about the cost of implementing a real-time statistical process control (SPC) solution. But a robust solution like InfinityQS® Enact® offers a fast, impressive return on investment (ROI) by reducing costs and saving resources at a level that many companies can’t even imagine. These savings are realized in all areas of operations and quality SPC, from data collection and analysis to reporting and communications.

Manufacturing Data Collection

How much time do your operators spend manually collecting data? Many manufacturers still use paper and pencil to keep track of process quality metrics, draining resources as well as complicating future analysis and reporting. When calculating ROI for InfinityQS SPC solutions, consider how much the following factors cost you now:

  • Operator time spent on manual data collection and data recording or entry
  • Missed or inaccurate collections and entries
  • Missed information because of data overload (lack of filtering capabilities)

Manufacturing Data Analysis

Can your quality team spot the sorts of historical trends that can lead to major cost savings? Can they compare process or product information across machines, shifts, and sites? Or do they spend countless hours trying to manipulate quality data in Excel or Minitab, simply to get the most basic results? How much do you spend in time and quality or IT resources on the following:

  • Trying (or failing) to evaluate which processes, equipment, or shifts to prioritize for improvement
  • Searching for additional cost savings
  • Worrying about how to bring your poorest performing sites or lines up to the standard of your best performers

Manufacturing Data Reporting

When your operations team is finished with your SPC data, what happens to it? How difficult and disruptive are customer information requests or audit notifications? Without the type of true Unified Data Repository that InfinityQS solutions provide, reporting and communications can drain IT and quality resources. But with Enact, you can be assured that everyone on every team—operations, quality, IT, and executive—benefit from smoother, faster data access:

  • Everyone has access to the same information, without manual, complex reporting.
  • Cloud-based SPC solutions enable fully mobile, anywhere/anytime access.
  • Pulling data and reports in response to audits and customer requests takes a fraction of the time required with other SPC solutions.

Focus on Priorities

Data overload is the downside of modern manufacturing.

How SPC Can Help

With today’s Industry 4.0 manufacturing environment becoming increasingly automated and Internet-connected, operators and quality personnel alike are finding themselves swamped with data—not all of which is applicable to the task at hand. Digging through this mountain of information can eat up valuable time and increase the possibility that you’ll miss an important notification or trend. Ideally, a statistical process control (SPC) solution can help you cut through the noise, with the ability to set collection alerts and query data.

Use Enact to Focus on Top Priorities

Big data can be a big headache when you’re trying to keep note of just a few priorities. That’s why Enact® uses standard (yet customizable) role-based dashboards to make your most important data easier to spot. Include the information tiles that matter most to you, based on your role, shift, and more.

An overload of quality data doesn’t organically translate into strategic insight and product improvements. A pile of Excel spreadsheets can’t compare to Enact’s intuitive data filtering, flexible notifications, and sleek dashboard tiles that give you a quick snapshot of where your process quality stands. Of course, you can dig deeper into the details with just a few clicks.

Compare quality data from multiple parts, lines, processes, shifts, sites, and more, so that you can cut straight to the heart of quality issues instead of drowning in individual charts graphs.
