SPC Packages

The Quality Way to Collect, Store, Analyze, Report Crucial Data about Materials
As a compliment to our systems, PSI produces a complete Statistical Process Control (SPC) data collection package, offering real-time data collection and graphic display trending of material variation. Our packaging includes a network interface, user-definable report formats, and data storage/retrieval features that are not available in most basic measuring, control, and reporting systems.

Real-time data collection hardware installed near the process uses a line speed encoder to record gauge measurements at regular intervals. The real-time data collector buffers these readings and sends them over a high-speed link to SPC software running on standard PC hardware.

The SPC software:

  • Displays strip charts, X-bar and R charts, frequency histograms, and real time statistics as material runs
  • Allows the operator to zoom in on areas of interest
  • Prints high quality reports on local or network printers
  • Stores data locally or on a network server
  • Data is saved in a text format that can easily be imported into other software

The SPC software can also run at other locations on the network, even over a remote access link. Data can be stored, watched or retrieved from any location on the network, and can be used to create a variety of reports using our flexible layout and content options.

Reports can include:

  • Set points
  • Operator entered fields
  • Statistics, including standard deviation, Cpk, and X-bar, R and control limit analysis with configurable subgroup parameters
  • Out of tolerance list
  • Head and tail lengths trimmed according to configurable rules for in and out tolerance lengths
  • Fields calculated from user formulas
