NWA Quality Analyst Web Server 2.1 is the latest part of NWA's comprehensive SPC software solution.
NWA Quality Analyst Web Server 2.1 is part of NWA's comprehensive SPC software solution.
NWA Quality Analyst Web Server provides near real-time monitoring of remote plants and contract manufacturing facilities and quality reporting throughout the plant, enterprise and supply chain.
Quality Analyst Web Server now includes exception reporting and several performance improvements that enable organisations to more closely monitor violations of product specifications, SPC limits, and SPC pattern rules to ensure product consistency and meet customer acceptance and supplier certification requirements.
As companies move toward world class manufacturing, they need to ensure production processes are optimised, predictable, and capable of meeting specifications.
With Quality Analyst Web Server, SPC charts can be produced and viewed at remote locations.
The user only needs a browser and access to the Internet.
With the ability to view data from multiple plants in one page, management can compare the performance of several locations.
As more organisations move to contract and overseas manufacturing, the need to monitor multiple remote manufacturing facilities has increased.
NWA Quality Analyst Web Server delivers the SPC information management needs, when it needs it.
And, because the SPC charts are linked to the underlying data, management can use Web Server to monitor overseas plants in near real time.
With Quality Analyst Web Server, reports can be made available to customers instantly - uniquely tailored for each customer to prove the shipment meets specifications.
With Quality Analyst Web Server, suppliers can log on and immediately see quality reports for their products.
When the supplier and the manufacturer can view the same information, misunderstandings are greatly reduced and problems are solved faster.
According to Louis Halvorsen, Vice President of Development at NWA: "The ability to get the reports without moving data is a critical issue now for many companies as remote manufacturing increases, Internet security concerns grow, and bandwidth costs increase".
"Quality Analyst Web Server 2.1, with its exception reporting capabilities, gives our customers the quality information they need to ensure product consistency and meet customer acceptance and supplier certification demands across all manufacturing facilities".
Quality Analyst Web Server now provides exception reports displayed in web pages.
The reports list product specification and SPC violations organised by user-defined views.
The user can create the relevant SPC chart for each set of exceptions with the click of a button.
Exception reports may be developed using XSLT, and users can "subscribe" to specific reports with RSS.
SPC charts and exception reports are now cached for user-defined time periods to improve performance and eliminate duplicated database access and calculation processes.
In addition, a single reference can now create all charts used in a web page to reduce the processing time required to complete the page.
For users who periodically update the SPC reports on their web sites, NWA Quality Analyst Web Server can now be used to create SPC charts and exception reports at scheduled times or frequencies.
SPC charts can now be rotated to offer more flexibility in page design, and to make it easier to design web pages for devices such as PDAs.
The Quality Analyst Web Server configuration program has been expanded to support new features and redesigned to make it easier to manage sites with large numbers of references.
NWA Quality Analyst Webserver 2.1 is supplied and supported in the UK and Ireland by Adept Scientific.
