Business Benefits
Increase Productivity & Efficiency
Production stops and quality problems have a huge
impact in long run or continuous processing commonly
found in the metallurgy industry. SPC Vision is a
preventative process control system which helps increase
up-time and productivity by preventing scrap, and reprocessing.
 Prevent poor quality, scrap and re-processing
 Reduce cycle time by utilising ‘in-process’ monitoring to remove
final inspection, offline analysis and reporting
Real Time QA & Process Control
SPC Vision provides real time monitoring, control and
validation of critical process and product attributes to
ensure quality standards have been achieved.
 Real time validation of products to quality standards
 Build in quality by managing the variation of critical quality
attributes using SPC(statistical process control)
 Monitor process capability to predict & prevent poor quality
Increased Process Understanding
Gaining a thorough understanding of the
relationships between materials, manufacturing
process , the environment and their combined
effect on product quality is the key to effective
process control, improvement and development.
 Identify & evaluate critical product & process variables
 Understand interactions between product & process for
predictive control
 Determine product and process specifications based on
process understanding
