QDA modules attack quality objectives head on as powerful stand alone solutions or as interactive modules that deliver unparalleled synergies to manufacturing operations and company‐wide quality initiatives.

QDA Q-Management
Leverages the strengths of portable, fixed station and unattended data collection systems and the ability to integrate virtually any type of plant floor measurement device to deliver error-proof variable and attribute data from SPC, incoming and outgoing inspection. The software creates a solid quality system base allowing full traceability, analysis and reporting.

QDA Q-Planning
QDA integrates APQP Requirements, Process Flow Chart, Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), Control Plans, Production Parts Approval Process (PPAP), GMP, and BMP – ensuring a logical and consistent approach to manufacturing engineering activities. It enables the reuse of common product and process information, allows you to control data from a centralized database, and empowers you to drive process-based quality management systems, continuous improvement and global quality planning.

QDA Complaint Management
Manage your internal, external and supplier complaints in one system. It tags a specific complaint to the product in question and pulls in all the quality data and history associated with it. This enables powerful analysis and traceability from the essence of the complaint to logical sources, as well as a structured approach to elimination or confirmation of defects in procedures or materials.

QDA CMM Intelligence
It captures all master and measurement data automatically from all your coordinate metrology systems and integrates it onto one common software platform. The result is standardized and automated analysis and reporting, tremendous cost savings and better utilization of your internal resources.

QDA Document Management
Is an automated document management system that creates competitive advantage through integration. It facilitates accurate and efficient traceability and keeps you in compliance with relevant standards and enables free access to released documents through a web portal. Integrated process flow chart visualisation which complies with the ISO standards.

QDA LIMS
Reduces paperwork, errors and uncertainty and optimizes laboratory workflow, from data collection to the certificate of analysis. It integrates manufacturing operations with other business areas and generates cost savings through automation and better utilization of resources. Specifications, sample- and resource management are included.

QDA Gage and Tool Management
Improves cost control and ensures measurement, tool and process traceability through automated calibration and workflows.

QDA Product Traceability
QDA eliminates warranty claims and recalls by capturing defect-producing processes with real‐time reports on the machines, parts, stations, shifts and operators involved – before the product is shipped. The software captures data via labels, bar codes, VINs, lot, serial and batch numbers, and deploys it to interdependent manufacturing and assembly operations. The system can identify single component parts or group them as needed to accurately identify and trace subassemblies or finished products.

Inspection Machine Interface Tool
Enables import of file-based measurement results from CMM machines and other devices.  The import can be initiated manually or set up to occur automatically as served from a central client.  While measurement results tends to be the primary type of data imported, other sample information can be imported as well.

CAD Tool
Supports the preparation of PPAP's an inspection plans. It imports characteristic information out of 2D CAD file formats like *.dxf and *.dwg and automate the process of stamping for the PPAP. This saves time and minimizes possible errors.

MES/ERP Interface Tool
Is the basis for any integration with industry standard ERP or MES systems.

MIBA Tool
Provides automated visualization using 3D coordinates based on points associated with a JPEG image (MIBA format). A JPEG converter saves the position of a 3D part in its three coordinates and enables automated positioning of characteristics in graphical reports. This process substantially reduces errors and the time needed to create reports.
