Control Chart Dashboard

A single, configurable interface for monitoring production quality from your workstation.

Easily monitor the quality performance of your key processes using the Control Chart Dashboard application from InfinityQS. This versatile, real-time data visualization interface presents quality control charts tailored to the needs of each individual user. When any monitored process goes into an alarm state, the control chart background changes color—making it quick and easy for users to know where to focus their attention. Simply click the control chart to bring up more information.

Quality monitoring at a glance

The Control Chart Dashboard presents information based on the access of the user, so users see information important to their role, from line operators to plant managers to corporate quality personnel. For example, a control operator workstation will display quality data only for the processes assigned to that operator. If a process violates a quality alarm, an onscreen notification is immediately displayed to the operator. A shift supervisor overseeing multiple production lines can view process control charts from across his or her assigned processes. A corporate quality engineer can monitor quality of a product being produced at multiple plants—without having to visit each plant.

As new quality data is captured by ProFicient it is displayed within the control charts in the dashboard, making it an ideal tool for operational personnel.

Learn more with a simple click

If a process goes into alarm mode, the color of the control chart automatically changes from green to yellow, yellow to red, or any color combination you choose. To access more detailed information, an operator or manager simply clicks the chart.

For variable data, the user is given the option to view a table of subgroup data, the control chart by itself, a capability chart (histogram) for the process, or a detailed capability report. To monitor attribute data, a user can display a Pareto chart showing defects, process events, or downtime

Role-specific views

Users can configure the Control Chart Dashboard to display different data depending on the role of each user. For example, a supervisor with department-level access may only be able to view quality data relating to his or her department. Database access rules can be configured to Administrator, Database, Company, Division, Site, or Department.

Tailored, visual information

With minimal setup, users can configure the Control Chart Dashboard to automatically scroll through all the charts that comprise an InfinityQS® deployment. Available charts can be grouped by part or process using data gathered from a single workstation or the entire database. For automatic sequencing from one chart to another, set up search timeframe and refresh rate, including the number of data points to include. Colored backgrounds indicate whether subgroups are within or outside of control limits.
