SPC
Statistical Process Control
Detect process drift before defects occur with real-time control charts and capability analysis.
VEXPLOR SPC applies statistical methods to monitor and control manufacturing processes in real time. By analyzing variation patterns and applying control rules, it enables operators and engineers to detect process shifts before they produce out-of-specification product, reducing scrap and improving yield.
Non-Standard (Before)
Non-Standard (Before)
- Manual data collection on paper check sheets
- Control charts created in Excel days after production
- No real-time alerting for out-of-control conditions
- Cpk/Ppk calculations done sporadically if at all
Standardized (After)
Standardized (After)
- Automated data collection from machines and gauges
- Real-time control charts with Western Electric rules
- Instant alerts to operators and supervisors on violations
- Continuous Cpk/Ppk monitoring with trend analysis
SPC Monitoring Process
Data Collection
Automatically capture measurement data from CMMs, gauges, sensors, and manual inputs.
Control Charting
Generate X-bar/R, X-bar/S, p, np, c, and u charts with real-time plotting.
Rule Evaluation
Apply Western Electric, Nelson, and custom rules to detect special cause variation.
Alert & Response
Notify operators of violations, trigger reaction plans, and document corrective actions.
Capability Analysis
Calculate Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk indices and track process capability trends over time.
Key SPC Capabilities
Real-Time Control Charts
Live X-bar/R, X-bar/S, Individual/MR, and attribute charts updated as data arrives.
Process Capability
Automated Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk calculation with histograms and normality assessment.
Automated Alerts
Configurable rule sets with instant notification via screen, email, and mobile push.
Gauge R&R Studies
Measurement system analysis with ANOVA and range methods per AIAG MSA guidelines.
Data Integration
Direct connection to CMMs, PLCs, and SCADA systems for automated measurement capture.
Reporting & Trending
Historical trend analysis, shift comparisons, and customer-required quality reports.
Compliance & Standards
AIAG
Automotive Industry Action Group standards for core quality tools including SPC.
ISO 13448
Statistical methods for process performance and capability assessment.
SPC Integration Ecosystem
SPC feeds real-time quality data to QMS for nonconformance management, connects with MES for production context, and shares data with LIMS for laboratory correlation.
