SPC Integration as part of your business improvement
At InControl, we can integrate different enterprise software systems together. This often provides us with access to the same machine and process data, which is then shared with different disciplines for different needs in your business. Whether for maintenance, process optimisation or OEE, we can help.
So, what is SPC? If you are new to Statistical Process Control (SPC), this can be a daunting question. SPC is the process of monitoring production & process data in real time, so that trends in the process that have the potential to affect quality, can be identified early and actions can be taken in advance of any batch quality rejects. The results of a well deployed SPC system, should reduce scrap and rework, improve production quality consistency and potentially save overfill or waste. All of these things can help profitability and the satisfaction of your customers.
Real-time ‘lead measures’ versus ‘after the event’ process data
InControl Systems can configure many of our partners’ software tools in a manner to deliver the above solutions, or we can be asked to take your preferred SPC tools and connect them to the machines, processes and control systems, so that you can get real-time process generated data as a ‘lead measure’ rather than performing off-line ‘after the event’ route cause analysis.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) as part of your Digital Transformation – Smart Factory
Far too many software solutions are sold as application specific ‘best in class’ tools, and whilst this might be the case, most forward thinking enterprises are now looking at a long-term digitalisation roadmap for their business. With this in mind, they want to make sure that requirements such as SPC, or OEE, or energy monitoring (and other business requirements) are part of a digitalisation strategy, where their investment in networks, data lakes and business-wide data naming conventions is managed in such a way, that they have a single digitalisation plan for their whole business. This is clearly better than several different solutions, that are ‘siloed’ and disconnected. InControl Systems can help you to get data from existing machines and processes, which needs doing only once, and then shared across all the business needs in a common data methodology.
