NWA Quality Analytics Server™
Plant-wide, real-time process analytics and alarming
NWA Quality Analytics Server delivers managerial oversight of the entire organization from plant-floor activities to total plant operations.
NWA Quality Analytics Server (QAS) is a Client/Server application that consists of:
- Analytics Server application that manages database connections, SPC calculations and chart preparation, and distributes status and graphics results in XML format
- Supervisory Clients that subscribe to the Analytics Server's XML output and display real-time status indicators and SPC charts for selected process and quality parameters
- NWA Quality Analyst for creating Data Sets and managing connections to external data sources
- Utilities for configuring, managing, and troubleshooting the Analytics Server and Clients
“Our operators really like the Quality Analytics ‘dashboard.’ It automatically updates and tells them when to pay attention. QAS lets them focus on just the one point that demands attention, and then drill down to reports and charts as necessary.”
~Chemical Firm Six Sigma Manager
