Plymouth, MN, USA

ASI DATAMYTE announced today the general availability of the latest release of its comprehensive QDA software, QDA 8.5 M9.

QDA is a dynamic quality software application capable of raising the productivity and efficiency level of manufacturing, assembly and laboratory operations by addressing unique challenges with powerful stand alone solutions, and by offering the opportunity to achieve enterprise-wide objectives through quality integration.

A sophisticated feature matrix provides access to all of the robust modules and capabilities that form a solid software base, and at the same time, delivers the ultimate in flexibility. QDA provides the thrust behind many of ASI DATAMYTE’s unrivaled quality solutions such as CMM Integration, Complaint Management, Integrated Quality Planning, Supply Chain Management, Data Collection, SPC and LIMS.

QDA is appropriate for and highly adaptable to the quality needs of all manufacturers, but has also incorporated special forms and management tools that address the needs of specific sectors. For example, ISO 13485:2003 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements, electronic signatures, auditing and traceability are built in for medical device manufactures, while APQP, PPAP and FMEA forms can be included to address the planning needs of vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers.

“We have really raised the bar with this release in terms of driving time-saving, profit-generating quality advances, says Gianni De Gaspari, Director of International Sales and Marketing for ASI DATAMYTE. “More and more, continuous integration possibilities are a big part of that, as are flexibility and customization. Once customers lay their hands on our Report Designer, for example, they see the potential and are anxious to cut it loose on their environment. We’re here to help them optimize the implementation, whatever form their final solution mix and quality configuration takes.”

Some of the new features are:

> New feature matrix to support QDA module grouping
> Multi-lingual including an enterprise language
> 21 CFR Part 11 support
> Advanced Division Management for enterprise customers
> Capturing of curve data (torque, tensile, contour, roundness, process curves etc…)
> Dynamic Report Designer Layouts
> Event Manager for workflow based notification
> Action Management integrated into the quality solution
> QDA BI (Business Intelligence) module for flexible quality related KPI reporting
