Get encoder data into your PC
New cards from ComputerBoards allow encoder signals such as displacement data to be ported into PC applications without the need for add-on hardware - encoder support is built into the boards.
The casebooks have been written with several purposes in mind: to provide any professional, putting their case for adopting SPC forward to the board, with tangible evidence of the positive difference it can make to productivity and quality; to provide a useful guide to successfully implementing SPC and overcoming resistance to implementation throughout the organisation; and to identify which tools are right for the job of statistical process control - Excel or dedicated SPC windows-based software? The casebooks are available as downloadable PDFs and should make for interesting reading.
Especially at a time when the customer is king - when quality has become one of the most important ways to differentiate your products and secure a loyal customer base.
The titles are as follows: "Make it happen" - five factors you need to consider if you are to successfully introduce and use SPC throughout your organisation; "The lifesaver" - how SPC (standardised in NWA Quality Analyst) is helping to address the problem of falling levels of blood donations for the National Blood Service across its 14 centres throughout England; "SQC in the lab" - how Statistical Quality Control results in more effective laboratory management and improved analytical performance; "Big savings" - how the introduction of NWA Quality Analyst and Quality Monitor software into the manufacturing process at BAS Components has resulted in significant time and money savings; and "No compromise" - why more than ever before, SPC software is a better choice than Excel for Quality Control professionals.

The use of SPC software features heavily in the casebooks, in particular NWA Quality Analyst and Quality Monitor, which are currently available from Adept Scientific.
Software like this makes the daunting task of controlling quality throughout an organisation more manageable.

It is ideal for any organisation or individual and will fit any industry/business.
NWA Quality Monitor provides manufacturers with powerful, configurable software for plant-floor data collection and SPC charting in an off-the-shelf, Windows-based package.
Both software packages provide a cost-effective solution for cutting out all the manual tasks like recording, transcribing and charting of data.
The software can play a major part in the implementation of SPC and in the long-term, it can mean considerable savings of both time and money - as potential users will find out from the casebooks. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
