NWA Quality Information System™ provides manufacturing plants and laboratories a single, unified data collection solution for quality control test stations. NWA QIS test stations are configured to exactly match your workflows and enable your operators to collect data more efficiently and accurately with less training.
Reporting Tailored to Each Customer’s Needs
NWA QIS provides timely analytics-based reports and alerts to give your staff the information they need to make the right decision at the right time. NWA QIS combines built-in analytics and quality reports with industry-standard reporting tools to deliver reporting tailored to each customer’s needs.
NWA QIS delivers a best fit system that is scalable from a pilot to a plant-wide system. You can incrementally implement NWA QIS to best fit your timeline, project resources, and budget. It will easily share product, process, and quality information with other manufacturing systems such as MES, LIMS, ERP, and Historians.
NWA QIS has repeatedly been shown to be less expensive to install and maintain than competing systems. Not only will you reduce the labor and time needed to manage and improve your processes, you will make better and timelier decisions with higher-quality data.
Configurable Data Entry
Forms-based data entry delivers customized screens without programming, replacing spreadsheets and paper forms. Screens are designed to fit the data-collection workflow and provide finger-tip assistance to users with context-specific help and electronic SOPs.
Analytics, Alerts, and Reports to Keep You Informed
NWA QIS’s off-line and real-time analytics can be applied to data from systems such as Historians, LIMS, and MES to supply a unified view of your process to identify, analyze, and resolve problems before they become a crisis.
Application-Specific Reporting
NWA QIS includes standardized analytics and quality reporting for SPC, Process Capability, and other quality-related functions. Information can be delivered on-screen, on printed reports, and on web pages with industry-standard reporting tools.
