Features

  • System Preferences

DataLyzer® Spectrum can be configured to your specific needs. Some examples of preference options are

    • Control chart type
    • Selection of real-time analysis of statistics including all Western Electric, Wheeler and Nelson rules
    • All possible capability indices (Cp, Cpk, Cpr, Pp, Ppk, Ppr, NCP, NCpk, NCpr, PPM).
    • Email alerts can be configured for OOC, OOS, capability benchmarks or measurements not taken in time
    • Statistical distributions and normality tests
    • Multiple language selection of 20 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, Italian, Danish, Swedisch, Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Vietnamese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic and Hindi

 

  • Control Charts Setup

    Create variable and attribute control charts of all types with dozens of presentation and calculation preferences, reasonable limits, math functions that automatically derive subgroup data from previous data, attach work instructions and predefined out-of-control causes and actions, and freeform notes.

  • Traceability Parameters

    Charts can be set up with multiple traceability parameters. These parameters can be configured in multiple ways, such as: predefined list, values based on calendar, or even validation of data from third party software like SAP, or requiring password support as in FDA regulations. Optional traceability parameters examples are: operator name, shift name, batchnr, temperature and machine names.

  • Customizable Data collection Screens

    One of the most popular features of DataLyzer® is the flexibility in data collection. Data can be collected manually or semi automatically using gage connections. The manual option allows data to be collected by part or by characteristic. Charts can be ordered or chained in sequence, timers per chart can be set, and traceability parameters can be carried forward. Specific part-based charts can be sent to specific lines depending on the production SPC software

  • Automatic Data collection

    DataLyzer® Import Services can be automatically imported from databases, MES systems, OPC servers; Excel spread sheets, cameras, CMMs, text files, etc. Standard connectors are available to import data. The import can be configured based on import rules, and can include email alerts, etc.

  • Drill down Dashboard

    A real-time dashboard can be configured for a single line or for an entire plant. Over 20 SPC statuses can be displayed for each chart, with ability to drill down to specific parts ad processes, control charts, histogram and subgroup data and traceability parameters.

  • Extensive Reporting Options

    A standard set of 33 reports including control charts, histograms, bat charts, and Pareto charts that can be generated and filtered by date and traceability parameters. User-defined reports can be created using a vast set of statistics. These user-defined reports can also be configured to run at predefined time periods.

  • Certificate of Analysis

    DataLyzer® COA module allows users to create their own certificates of analysis based on templates. The certificates can be designed using Excel templates and choosing the data to be inserted at placeholders from the Spectrum system.

Whitepapers

How to integrate FMEA, Control Planning, SPC and CAPAPDF

This white paper shows how you can really implement a working quality system where the techniques come together.

SPC and SQC integratedPDF

This white paper explains how you can combine SPC and SQC in an organization to get the best of both worlds.

Integrating SPC and TPMPDF

This white paper shows how you can integrate the two continuous improvement methods.

APQP: Ballooning Control Plan SPCPDF

This white paper shows how you can integrate the design results with the quality planning and the quality execution process.

Process Capability IndicesPDF

There is a lot of confusion about the use of Cp, Cpk, Pp, and Ppk. This white paper tries to remove some of the confusion and shows the power of using the indices Cp, Cpk, and Ppk simultaneously.

Managing Control LimitsPDF

This white paper describes how to set control limits during the implementation of SPC to make sure the organization can handle the number of out of controls.

Recalculating the Control LimitsPDF

This white paper recommends the use of two new indices to allow a quick and effective comparison between limits set historically and the current process.

Using Control Charts for Quality ImprovementPDF

This white paper shows how SPC (Control Charts) can be used as a tool to support process improvement.

Importance of the Range ChartPDF

During SPC implementation, often too much emphasis is put on the use of the Average chart. This white paper explains mistakes made in this area and gives recommendations on how to prevent these mistakes.

Parallel Processes and SPCPDF

This white paper describes which issues are important when you implement SPC in processes where you have parallel subprocesses like multiple cavities, multiple lanes, etc.

Tracking and TracingPDF

In this white paper, it is explained how you can implement full tracking and tracing and how you can use DataLyzer to quickly analyze causes of variation.

Reject reduction by analysis of process dataPDF

In this white paper, we show how advanced analysis can be used to analyze data gathered by DataLyzer.

CMM Data acquisition and Chart creationPDF

In this white paper, we show how a CMM can be integrated into the SPC DataLyzer network.

Data Import & Harmonization

Data Aggregation and Harmonization

For manufacuturing company managers and executives, access to process and production data is key to implementing continuous improvement programs and decision makings. But they invariably face challenges with data management and data aggregation for the following reasons:

  • Specific and/or local solutions are used to serve shop floor needs.
  • Machines or measuring systems come with their own data interfaces.
  • Sometimes technology incompatibility or prohibitively expensive programming from vendors makes data aggregation an unfinished job.

A solution that meets the following requirements can be a valuable tool for managers and executives:-

  • A central database where data can be stored in an open system like a SQL database, allowing maximum flexibility in making all kinds of analysis, reports and dashboards possible.
  • Design and structure the data according to your organization’s processes and products. Specific industries have additional requirements; such as food industry legal weight systems, FDA regulations in medical devices and pharmaceuticals and IATF 16949 in the automotive industry.
  • Ability to connect and collect data from heterogeneous sources like PLCs, CMMs, MODBUS, Excel, CSV files.
  • Option to export data to existing ERP or MES systems.
  • Provide an integrated solution for quality and productivity improvement using tools such as SPC and OEE.

DataLyzer Import Services is designed to make data collection a smooth and uncomplicated and task. See the whitepapers for more information.
