We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Statistical Process Control",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Inspection is key to consistent quality from
ACI (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Digital readout systems help Rotary Precision Instruments UK maintain its reputation for the supply of high precision rotary table solutions".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Software slashes downtime from
SolutionsPT: "Wonderware EPM 2.0 allows users to correlate equipment performance metrics such as downtime or OEE with broader MES functions".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Schaeffler (UK)
concerning its FAG ProCheck
- take a look at Monitoring system detects machinery faults early
which says: "FAG ProCheck has been developed to help companies monitor vibration levels on critical rotating plant or machinery".
Take a look also at the news release from ISA, Bioprocess modeling resource published,
as well as Anti-friction finishes protect surfaces from Tecan,
and CMM meets university budget from Metris.
