FSWorksTM

FSWorksTM is the most complete factory floor SPC software package on the planet. This feature packed powerhouse software is designed specifically for touchscreen applications such as CimStatTM making it much easier for the operator to enter data, clear messages, depress virtual switches, retrieve spec plans, and on and on.

 

FSWorksTM even has a Virtual Keyboard and Virtual Keypad from which to enter data. This eliminates the need for bulky keyboards and pointing devices on the factory floor. However, FSWorksTM will function just as well on standard PC’s.

 

The Variable Data Entry screen is an easy to understand
layout containing real time bar graphs for virtually any number and combination of LVDT’s, digital calipers and dial gauges, Heidenhain Glass Scale probes and analog signals. Along with real time bar graphs, the screen clearly shows actual readings in numeric form and a continually updating graph based on subgroups determined by the operator, supervisor or author of a particular spec plan. The bar graphs also change colors depending on whether the readings are within spec, borderline or out-of-control and offer other visual aids to enable the operator to see, at a moments glance, when the operations are successful
or not.

 

A message center is available to alert the operator of any changes in system status, out of spec readings encountered, etc. The ability to View Reference documents is a feature designed to provide factory floor operators with such things as test procedures, control documents
and part drawings during the manufacturing or quality control operations.

 

Within FSWorksTM, an operator can ask for a chart to be calculated and displayed using limits and data resident within variable data entry. Several charting solutions are available including Histograms (shown), Xbar, Pareto and Cu Sum.


Since FSWorksTM can be linked (via standard NIC) to a host PC on the corporate LAN/WAN, it also has the ability to share all data files with the complete FACSTM host package. FACSTM contains modules for report generation, chart generation, spec plan authoring / maintenance and communications conduit.
