The module enhances data accuracy, streamlines metal tracking, and supports informed decision-making for improved operational efficiency and quality control.

SPC

The SPC module performs all the basic calculations needed for statistical process control, such as mean, range, standard deviation, control limits, and capability indices. These calculations are essential for assessing process stability, identifying variations, and ensuring that processes meet desired quality standards.

Overall, the SPC module in the SRi framework provides a robust and flexible solution for statistical process control. It offers a configurable calculation system that performs all the necessary calculations, allowing you to monitor and control your processes effectively and ensure consistent quality throughout your operations.

Custom modules

Adding custom modules and functionality to the system within the SRi solution is a structured process that involves the following steps:

  1. Data Model Design: The first step is to design the data model for the new module. This includes creating an entity-relational data model that outlines the entities, their attributes, and the relationships between them. The data model serves as a blueprint for organizing and structuring the data within the module, ensuring efficient storage and retrieval.
  1. Implementation of Business Rules and Functionality: Once the data model is designed, the next step is to implement the business rules and desired functionality. This involves writing code or configuring the system to incorporate the specific logic and operations required by the module. The business rules define how the module should behave, process data, and interact with other system components.
  1. User Front-Ends and Reporting: Alongside the implementation of functionality, applicable user interfaces (front-ends) are developed. These interfaces provide users with the necessary tools to interact with the module effectively. Additionally, reporting capabilities are incorporated to generate relevant insights and analytics based on the data captured by the module.
 

Once the custom module is developed, it becomes a generic and versatile component of the system. It can be easily rolled out across the company or different industries, as it is designed to accommodate varying requirements and configurations. The modular nature of the SRi solution enables seamless integration and scalability, ensuring that the newly added functionality can be leveraged effectively across the organization.
