Data Collection Solutions

Presented By:

I & R Partners, LLC.

… because data collection doesn’t have to be hard!

The Challenge

How can manufacturers...1. Collect critical shopfloor data2. Minimize errors and labor intensive operations3. Provide the operator with the information

necessary to control the manufacturing process4. Present data in a real-time format to Quality,

Manufacturing, and Administration5. Operate in an environment that is not conducive

to standard desktops or laptops

Is There a Solution?

Will innovative technologies such as...

• Rugged handheld PC portability• Windows CE.NET power & flexibility• Color touch screen • Wireless networking • Data collection & SPC • Gage interfacing• Barcode imaging

…solve our problems?

We Think So

Everything An Operator Needs

• The DC-9005 is capable of collecting both variables and attributes (Pro & Ultra models)

• With the programmable display prompts, and the audio/visual alarms, the possibility of errors by operators is greatly reduced.

• Drawings can also be displayed, providing the operator with a visual reference of progression

Gage Interfacing

• Almost any digital, serial, or analog gage can be connected to the DC-9005

• Multiplexers provide multi-gage operation• Manual data entry can be done by way of

the DC-9005’s user-friendly keypad

Collect DATA From Many Different Instruments

Traceability Tags

• Four user-definable, traceability tags (i.e. operator, lot number, machine, etc…) can be input via the keypad, pick list, or barcode imager, and utilized to track and arrange data for analysis and problem solving in real-time.

• Process Adjustments can be entered at anytime

Warnings & Causes

• Trend Analysis may be performed at the end of every subgroup.

• Assignable Causes address the violation.

• Corrective Action responses are noted.

• Comments can be entered if further explanation is needed.

Charts & Statistics• Variable Charts include Xbar / Range,

Histogram, and Process Capability Bar• Attribute Charts include C, P, Pareto, and the

Weighted Pareto (Pro & Ultra Models)• Statistics include Cp, Cpk, Cr, Ppk, mean, range,

standard / estimated sigma, skewness, kurtosis

More Than Just A Data Collector

• Intel® XScale™ PXA255 400MHz processor• Windows CE .NET operating system• Pocket-sized, battery-operated unit• Weighs only 12.7 ounces• 802.11 Wi-Fi wireless networking• Includes Internet Explorer browser• Built-in barcode imager• DC-Stat Shopfloor software installed• Rugged IP54 rated enclosure• Rated to endure repeated 4’ drops onto

concrete• Interfaces to digital, serial, & analog gages

Data Transfer

• When utilizing wireless networking, data is exported automatically at the completion of every subgroup, while leaving historical data for charting purposes. Part programs (inspection routines) can be downloaded as well from the server.

• Part setups can be downloaded and data can be uploaded into any host PC via the included USB cable.

Data Analysis

• Data can be exported from the DC-9005 in a text (.dat) format, or a Microsoft Excel® (.csv) format, making it usable with practically any available off-the-shelf software package.

• A library of custom interfaces is available.• I & R Partners will provide quotations for the

customization of our software in order to accommodate your company’s specific needs.

Built-In Barcode Imager

The barcode imager can be used to scan

anything with a barcode, such as,

operator, serial, lot, machine, and part

numbers. It can also be used for both

defect data collection and production or inventory control.

ONE SYSTEM JUST MAKES CENT$

• One system provides for a single training curve, increasing the likelihood of operator enthusiasm

• One system, regardless of department, enables operators to be repositioned with much less effort

• One system throughout the entire facility allows for the borrowing of units in the event of an emergency

• One system furnishes you the luxury of a single contact in the event of system maintenance support

• One system affords you the opportunity to justify the cost over many departments rather than just one
