Configurable plant-floor data collection

Easy to Configure Rich User Interface

The NWA QIS data collection station uses easily customized data-entry screens built using a familiar drag-and-drop, point-and-click interface. You can select from a variety of preconfigured templates or create complete user interface designs that exactly match your procedures and forms.

With NWA QIS is not how we do it, but how you want to do it. The interface screen can use multiple languages and provide excellent user support with context sensitive help and access help and SOP documents by launching text, videos, web pages, etc. Entire records can be displayed on one screen to give context and improve data quality including data validation. QIS test stations require less training than other solutions and provide more accurate and efficient data collection.

Easy to Interface

Interfacing measurement devices can be one of the most difficult parts of setting up plant-floor data collection. NWA QIS comes with an extensive list of preconfigured device interfaces, including most electronic scales, gages, and multiplexers, and a wide range of specialized devices.
Adding device input to an NWA QIS data-entry screen is usually done with a few mouse clicks. In addition, device and port configuration tools provide for easy creation of new device interfaces and solving communication problems.

Easy to Use

The NWA QIS flexible design capabilities allow you to match the user-interface to both the requirements of the item being tested and the user’s capabilities. Data collection and analysis can be standardized to match your SOPs and customer requirements.
