Further, in the quality management arena, people are talking about Big Data—especially with more focus on finding correlations in real-time performance data. Many of today’s quality analytics solutions are designed to support the use of Big Data analytics, so manufacturers can cultivate and analyze massive amounts real-time data generated by SPC and other quality process data sources.

Crown is a long-time user of the GainSeeker Suite. They have an outstanding team, a fantastic product, and they are a great customer. GainSeeker helps them ensure the quality of their products, and GainSeeker's real-time dashboards are a critical component in their visual factory information system.

“Data” is a word never far from quality professionals’ minds. But when most companies are talking about data and its associated challenges, the conversation is usually about obtaining the intelligence needed to react to an event or make a decision based on that data.

The tricky part was something we just take for granted: reading data from two gages coming into one Microridge MobileCollect Wireless system. Evidently we were the first vendor who could distinguish between them and assign the values to the right features. Knowing the flexibility of GainSeeker Suite, I had no doubt that we could meet his requirements. I visited the plant last Thursday, and our deployment tech was on-site first thing this morning (the following Tuesday). By mid-afternoon today we had a working prototype up and running.

Successful leaders manage a GainSeeker deployment like a Kaizen Event, whether they are conscious of it or not. They share these 10 best practices.

If you've done your prep work for your SPC Software launch, you can enter the white water of the launch with a steady hand and clear eye on your goal. But your work isn't done. Here are five more practices that will help you successfully navigate the actual deployment cycle.

Over the years, we’ve seen customers achieve incredible success with GainSeeker Suite SPC Software. GainSeeker adds thousands - sometimes millions - of dollars to their bottom line. In the process, GainSeeker empowers a cultural transformation to a data driven organization. These successes aren’t accidental, and they’re not guaranteed. They’re the result of good planning and execution, and great leadership.

There is no shortage of data in modern manufacturing companies. The problem is that much of this data is stuck in special purpose silos.

Hertzler systems established an integration process between GainSeeker and Exacto Incorporated's ERP system. Now scrap data from the ERP system is automatically extracted and loaded into GainSeeker. Exacto leadership can now quickly spot trends in the data, and drill down to the root cause of scrap problems, eliminating long delays.

I'm hearing this complaint a lot recently: “We have all this data stuck out there in all of these systems, and we can't get to it in a timely manner. Sometimes days or weeks go by before we see it. It is so cumbersome to extract, and we're operating so lean that we just can’t sustain this effort. We need to free these people up to do more value-added work. It's killing us.”
