New Web Version of World's No.1 SPC Software

NWA Quality Analyst WebServer Edition is the first true web version of any statistical process control (SPC) software.
NWA Quality Analyst is already established as the world's most widely used statistical quality control software for the PC, with thousands of users in many countries.
Now a major new version, available in Europe from leading technical computing distributor Adept Scientific plc, takes the technology even further.
NWA Quality Analyst WebServer Edition is the first true web version of any statistical process control (SPC) software.
Up to now, SPC software could send data over the Web in view-only form.
Now with NWA Quality Analyst WebServer Edition, users across an organisation, including customers, can have dynamic access to quality analysis data via corporate intranets or extranets.
SQC/SPC charts created centrally can be sent to a Web Site in a variety of different formats.
These include standard graphics image formats (JPEG, Bitmaps etc) for viewing with a standard Web Browser such as Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator, and in NWA Quality Analyst's own format, which can be viewed, organised and printed using the Quality Analyst Graphics Viewer as well as with the full Quality Analyst software.
These charts can be "static", which means that, once on the Web Site, the data remains there until updated.
Alternatively, they can be "dynamic" - in other words, when a user requests a chart, it is generated directly from the most recent data.
This means that "dynamic" charts on the Web Site are always current, so - unlike other SPC software - there is no danger of working with out-of-date information.
Licenced users of the full NWA Quality Analyst software have full access across the Web to the entire range of Quality Analyst SQC/SPC charts and other functions.
So they can interrogate the data dynamically, and manipulate it within the software in the same way as data accessed directly.
The NWA Quality Analyst Graphics Viewer allows users to receive and view data in NWA Quality Analyst format.
It offers functionality not available with a standard Web Browser: for example, users can accumulate several charts (more than 100 at a time) and format them into multichart page layouts for display and printing.
This makes it easy for them to compare charts from multiple products, processes or locations.
In addition, Graphics Viewer users can control the appearance of charts and, by clicking on data points, can view descriptive information (such as date/time, shift, lot number etc) associated with the data point.
They can then save charts in a format that can be easily shared with other NWA Quality Analyst users.
