Datastat SPC Software

Elcometer Home Page

Dataputer's Datastat Computer Software Program provides the means to display the production process and highlights when the process violates control limits. Datastat can predict future violations and therefore improve the production process by:

  • Identifying problem areas in manufacture
  • Helping to refine production methods and techniques
  • Identifying the root cause of product problems.

Improved production processes leads to:

  • Lower scrap and re-work levels resulting in lower direct costs as fewer components and materials are used.
  • More efficient use of machinery and production time.
  • Improving the quality of the product leading to greater customer satisfaction reflected in fewer complaints and returned goods.

Although Datastat has been designed with simplicity in mind, this has not been achieved at the expense of functionality. Datastat's wide range of features with can be quickly set up using the Datastat Wizard.

Datastat has a comprehensive range of data entry options, charting capabilities, reporting functions and other helpful features, summarised below.

DATA COLLECTION

Normal keyboard entry and/or direct input from RS232 instruments and Multiplexers.

Datastat has 8 data tags to identify the data source and allow data to be filtered for analysis purposes, e.g. operator name, batch number, etc.

DATA ANALYSIS

Datastat incorporates capabilities studies and control charts, both variable and attribute.

Variable and Attribute Control Charts – including Xbar/Range, Xbar/Sigma and individual moving range charts – visually indicates the product's process performance over time  - it even warns the operator when it is heading towards the specification limits, avoiding any scrap being manufactured.

Capability Studies – Normal and Non-Normal Distribution curves can be viewed to analyse the spread of readings.

REPORTING FUNCTIONS

Pre-defined layouts of each chart enabling reports to be generated at a click of a mouse.

Print preview – see how the reports look before printing.
