Data Management System (DMS)

Gather all of your critical process and quality data for enhanced, real-time decision-making.

InfinityQS® makes it easy to capture, combine, and compare data, thanks to Data Management System (DMS) software and the Data Collection Service (DCS). These quality tools work together to automatically collect measurement values from a multitude of data sources and store them directly into the ProFicient™ database.

By adding on the optional DMS and DCS to your ProFicient solution, you expand your ability to gain a true understanding of how key process parameters affect the quality of your manufactured products.

With the integration that the DMS provides, you can pair process parameter readings with tag fields such as part numbers and other characteristics, giving users a true, correlation-based understanding of how key process parameters affect the quality of manufactured products.

Support for multiple data providers

Read quality data from multiple data sources

DMS software enables the capture of data into the ProFicient platform. DMS can read measurement values from a wealth of data sources, including Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), checkweighers, databases, Ethernet and Serial Devices, OPC servers, text files, and more. Captured data is instantly available in the ProFicient Unified Data Repository and ready for analysis.

Data standardization and centralization in quality tools enables display of centralized data

Data standardization and centralization

Enable real-time decision making across the enterprise

The ability to gather and compare quality-related data from multiple sources is vital to real-time decision making. Use DMS to extend the reach of ProFicient’s powerful analytical capabilities across the enterprise, by collecting data from multiple sources and then writing that data into a central, Unified Data Repository.

Process correlation

Match parameters to product characteristics

Using DMS integration, you can pair process parameter readings with tag fields such as part numbers and other characteristics. The result? A true, correlation-based understanding of how key process parameters affect the quality of your manufactured products.

SPC data collection with DMS allows you to analyze data from multiple sources

Better data analysis

Combine data into organized subgroups

Gain the ability to analyze data from multiple sources, as DMS software combines data into rational subgroups. Data sources include OPC, Wonderware Live Data Tables, third-party OLE databases, GE iHistorian, and grid providers that parse data from RS232, Ethernet, and ASCII data files.

Data Collection Service (DCS)

Collecting data from your existing systems—no matter how diverse—is a simple, automated process with the DCS. By fully automating data collection, the DCS improves data accuracy and reliability by eliminating duplicated effort and entry errors. ProFicient doesn’t need to be running for the DCS to collect data, making it a useful tool in “lights out” manufacturing facilities where little or no human interaction is available.
 
The DCS can acquire test data from enterprise and plant applications and from virtually any electronic test equipment. Use the DCS with DMS software and the ProFicient solution to easily compile data into meaningful and actionable information about your manufacturing processes.
