NWA Quality Analytics Server™ Delivers Real-Time Plant-Wide SPC and Manufacturing Analytics Reporting

Portland, OR—Northwest Analytical (NWA) announces NWA Quality Analytics Server which provides real-time alerts and SPC charts throughout the plant for process and quality parameters. Quality Analytics Server connects to any ODBC-compliant database, monitors any combination of process parameters, detects product specification and SPC violations, and delivers role-specific analytics and reporting.

NWA Quality Analytics Server is designed for a fast and efficient implementation that provides a plant-wide analytics solution with minimal IT overhead. For companies that already use NWA Quality Analyst for SPC, existing databases and report setup can be incorporated to reduce configuration and training requirements.

“Our operators really like the Quality Analytics ‘dashboard.’ It automatically updates and tells them when to pay attention,” says one Six Sigma manager in a major chemical firm. “QAS lets them focus on just the one point that demands attention, and then drill down to reports and charts as necessary.”

“NWA Quality Analytics Server is a major step on our path to deliver our vision of Manufacturing Analytics to our clients,” says Cliff Yee, CEO of Northwest Analytical. “With Quality Analytics Server, process visibility can reach any part of the enterprise.”
