Applications
Aid continuous processing through prevention of scrap and re-processing
Reduce cycle time by real time ‘in-process’ monitoring & control
Release products faster by real time data collection and validation
Enhance process understanding of critical product & process attributes
Business Benefits – Control & Efficiency

3. Business Benefits Increase Productivity & Efficiency
Production stops and quality problems have a huge impact in long run or continuous processing commonly found in the metallurgy industry. SPC Vision is a preventative process control system which helps increase up-time and productivity by preventing scrap, and re-processing.
Prevent poor quality, scrap and re-processing
Reduce cycle time by utilising ‘in-process’ monitoring to remove final inspection, offline analysis and reporting
Increased Process Understanding
Gaining a thorough understanding of the relationships between materials, manufacturing process , the environment and their combined effect on product quality is the key to effective process control, improvement and development.
Identify & evaluate critical product & process variables
Understand interactions between product & process for predictive control
Determine product and process specifications based on process understanding
Real Time QA & Process Control
SPC Vision provides real time monitoring, control and validation of critical process and product attributes to ensure quality standards have been achieved.
Real time validation of products to quality standards
Build in quality by managing the variation of critical quality attributes using SPC(statistical process control)
Monitor process capability to predict & prevent poor quality
