Production / Quality Data
Management Solutions
As well as our off-the-shelf products, we have expertise in
delivering solutions in the following areas
Custom
data-entry user-interfaces
A
data-entry user-interface customized to meet your exact
requirements will reduce the time taken to enter your
data and eliminate the frustration often experienced by
data-entry operators when using an off-the-shelf data
collection package.
Distributed
Data Collection
Data collected from computers at
different locations throughout your company can be stored
and managed on a central database enabling simultaneous
access by more than one person. Data can be accessed both
locally and remotely across the internet by anyone with
access permission.
Custom
Databases
RSD Associates can provide a number of database solutions on a range of formats
(MS Access, SQL Server, Oracle etc) including :
-
Microsoft
Access database development
-
Merging data
from different database types so it can be accessed and
analyzed from a single application
-
Integrating
databases with custom front-ends and our quality
improvement software products
Multi-Stream
Data Collection
Our
generic multi-stream data-collection application is ideal
for collecting and managing data from multi-stream
manufacturing processes such as glass and plastic bottle
manufacturers, plastic injection moulders and food
manufacturers. The
application allows you to manage product specifications, job
runs and measurement data within a single integrated
user-interface, and generate reports in Microsoft
Excel. The
underlying database technology (ADO/OLE-DB)
enables a wide range of
database formats to be used without requiring any changes to
the application. For
example, you could start with a system based on MS Access
and then easily move to MS SQL Server or Oracle.
The
multi-stream front-end is not an off-the-shelf product, but
rather is a core template from which we work to build a data
management system suited to your particular needs.
However, the sophistication of the core template means that
customisation costs are kept low.
Access to Historical Data
By
using Universal Data Access (UDA)
technology, a wide range of database and computer system
platforms can be integrated with your custom user-interface
and analysis tools enabling data stored on a wide range of
databases to be accessed. The range of supported data
sources and computer operating systems are:
Our
data collection solutions can be created from our existing
templates, so that development costs are reduced, or
designed to meet your exact needs.
Integrating custom user-interfaces with a range of
databases and analysis tools (including SPC) creates a
powerful data collection and management system. The product
of such a system is information that can be used to improve
quality and efficiency and lower operating costs.
