The following functionalities are a perfect extension to the Q-DAS software product M-QIS Engine:
Graphical user interface and reports available in 22 languages
M-QIS Engine is available in 22 languages. One click is all it takes to switch the language of a specific view. Employees working in different plants all over the world may apply Q-DAS software in their own language.
Individual design of reports
Q-DAS Form Designer makes it easy to create and modify available report templates. You may apply these templates in any Q-DAS software product. The interaction with M-QIS helps you adapt reports to the specific requirements of your intended recipients. Select from a tool box of texts, statistics, parts data, characteristics data and additional data as well as graphics (qs-STAT graphics and image files in the BMP, JPG, EMF and WMF format) and add links and logical operation formulas. Use drag-and-drop functionalities to position these elements in a report.
Automated data transfer of files provided from third-party systems to the Q-DAS database
The Q-DAS database forms the basis for statistical evaluations in qs-STAT. Only the database makes it easy to compare different information (machines, orders, etc.) and evaluate them automatically in M-QIS Engine.
Transfer of data
Q-DM is typically installed on a server in your network, sometimes even as a service. It monitors directories cyclically storing Q-DAS files. As soon as you store a file in a directory you Q-DM monitors, the systems saves its contents to a Q-DAS database. This process is based on defined rules you adjusted in Q-DM; these rules ensure a clear allocation of measurement information in the database.
You may adjust a wide range of settings, e.g. how to respond to alarms occuring while loading files in the database and store specific information to be considered in subsequent evaluations. The tool is able to generate protocols when a problem occurs while transferring data, e.g. due to a missing network connection or erroneous files and sends them to system administrators by email. The major task of Q-DM Datamanagement is to guarantee a smooth data flow.
Converter
In case your data are not available in the Q-DAS data format, you may apply a converter in Q-DM. It converts the foreign format into Q-DAS files and loads them in the database.
Automated archiving for a high-performance database
Q-ARC is only an extension to M-QIS Engine.
Even in case of high-performance databases, there is the time when you have to consider whether it is reasonable to store all collected measured value information in a single database. Since you usually try not to just delete the data in order to raise the performance, you try to outsource the data, i.e. store them in different databases or save them as Q-DAS ASCII files.
Q-ARC is the perfect tool for an automated archiving of data. As an example, you want a database to keep data for 12 months. As soon as 12 months are over, you archive all the data that are older than 12 months. This is a job that Q-ARC is able to perform.
You manage Q-ARC jobs in M-QIS. After purchasing a Q-ARC licence, M-QIS Engine offers archiving jobs.
