100% inspection of your products is much easier to implement than you might expect.

Inline inspection at full speed

100% inspection of your products is much easier to implement than you might expect. Some benefits are obvious: improved product quality assurance, reduced waste, better accuracy, increased efficiency, and greater profit. Consider also the advantages of real-time data streaming from an automated vision inspection system into your production information systems. Imagine that information displaying live on the shop floor with real-time charts, generating visual alarms, and sending automated notifications to prevent out of control processes before any dollars are lost.

WinSPC Means Lower Costs and Higher Quality

WinSPC is software to help manufacturers create the highest quality product for the lowest possible cost.

Companies in food and beverage, packaging, automotive, and other high-volume manufacturing applications are finding ever-increasing use for vision systems to automate the monitoring of product quality. Their customers crave the conformance benefits that vision systems provide, while quality practitioners can harness a new source of data to drive additional insights into product quality and process performance to fuel improvements. Sightline Process Control and DataNet Quality Systems have successfully integrated Sightline’s vision systems with DataNet’s Statistical Process Control software, creating a combined solution that elevates manufacturing quality levels and reduces production cost.
