Electronics

Quality control for complex automated operations.

Various manufacturing requirements characterize semiconductor and electronics manufacturers. Interoperability between SPC and other systems, such as ERP and MES, is key when it comes to automated manufacturing. SPC’s real-time capabilities and analytics provide a high-mix environment that generates volumes of data from metrology tools and test equipment that can already be captured and maintained in an existing database. Common data types may include product dimensions, electrical or functional tests, parametric data, bath temperatures, and other metrology results.

WinSPC integrates with other manufacturing systems (EPR / MES / PLM). Real-time process monitoring and control make it quick to adjust a new process.

Well-designed management interface makes production changes faster and less repetitive, and live dashboard views summarize performance by tool or device Production and management-level alarms can automatically trigger system responses, providing actionable feedback real-time corrective actions and intelligent feedback directly to a user interface or other manufacturing systems.

Plastics and Packaging

Consistent packaging performance, whether it’s a carton, bottles or aluminum cans, is a critical element of quality that enables your customers to improve the efficiency of their filling line and minimize downtime due to package defects.

The lines operate at high speeds to quickly produce large volumes of cartons or bottles. Any changes to lines that prove faulty could quickly lead to cost overruns or eventually force them to run at lower speeds to maintain quality standards.

Over the years, many carton, foil and bottle packaging companies have attempted to manage their critical characteristic inspection results manually on paper or in Excel. This manual approach limits detection of out-of-spec packets until after they are produced, and only provides post-process SPC to show past performance.

Maintaining this information manually is tedious work and doesn’t produce the real-time results that multiple teams need to spot trends or find answers to the questions mentioned above.

Meanwhile, customers expect regular quality reports, eg Certificate of Analysis (COA), Certificates of Conformity (CofC), in unique custom formats that require a high overhead to generate.

Regarding device connectivity: Testing package and print quality, in addition to measuring line performance, can involve a variety of metrology devices and control systems at multiple stages throughout the process.

WinSPC software allows you to produce with the highest quality at the lowest possible cost
