QUALITY helps process control engineers and testers optimize machine yield and product quality. Using this app, they can:
- Create testing sequences by pre-defining QA process variables and more
- Schedule periodic quality assurance tests using predefined intervals
- Manage, input, track and report on CTQ parameters to optimize quality results and optimize recipes automatically
- Set alerts if quality and compliance standards are at risk, allowing immediate intervention to avoid making bad parts
- Provide Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to machine operators that outline actions to be taken if a quality exception occurs
Management teams can use our app to:
- Generate configurable reports for every job, assuring industry and customer-level compliance
- Measure parameters that can improve machine yield, reduce downtime and save labor costs
- Monitor and correlate Related-to-Quality machine parameters to the CTQs enabling benefits of advanced quality management and Statistical Process Control SPC.
- Deliver data using APIs that can feed into business system for streamlined functioning

This ei3 app is highly scalable and helps improve production quality - on one machine, one line, or the entire factory
Our app supports multiple users running tests on several machines simultaneously, or at different delayed time intervals depending on the users’ and product’s requirements, without conflicts.
The Costly Downside to Sporadic Quality Management
Quality management is essential to industrial manufacturing, but is often deferred to sporadic manual measurements. ei3’s automated, continuous solution avoids many pitfalls of such a manual approach:
Added Risk and Recalls
Brand reputation takes an instant hit if the product standard is inconsistent and adds to the financial risk of warranty issues and product recalls.
Lack of Assurance
Industry standards and compliances are constantly evolving. Without legitimate documentation, customers cannot be assured of product quality or adherence to standards.
Decreased Workforce Involvement
Testers, operators and QA personnel have no regulated, verified system that can utilize their expertise or input consistently, reducing their involvement.
Competitive Disadvantage
Without continuous improvement, products will fall short, allowing the competition to step up and cater to the needs of a constantly shifting market.
No Accountability
If not found, the actual causes behind quality issues result in no further improvement while removing accountability from the equation.
The ei3 Advantage
Status Dashboard
View each test in real-time with the help of an accessible, dynamic interface
Feedback Tracking
Provides a medium for operators & testers to make notes, becoming a part of the permanent record
SOP Documents
Implement proactive corrections by sending testers and operators SOP documents, provided results are within tolerance limits
ALERTS/NOTIFICATIONS
Users can view configurable alerts via email, text and other formats when parameters stray outside specification limits
Test Management
Guide Testers and Operators through specified tests according to schedules based on time, production, or other variables. Display results and manage the disposition of delayed tests
Application Synergy
Results and reports from the app link to other ei3 application modules that track machines, jobs, recipes, tools and other measured data, providing a complete IIoT solution
AUTOMATED REPORTS
Creates a highly configurable report that provides automatic COAs for every job

Incorporating QUALITY on the Shop Floor
STEP 1. COLLECT
ei3 continuously collects machine and process data, which the app monitors for compliance and deviation, sending timely alerts to operators and management before producing faulty products. Users can run tests on individual machines or coordinate them across entire fleets.
STEP 2. ANALYZE
Our app can automatically generate process reports and COAs in minutes, using a predefined format for every job. QA technicians and operators can analyze, track feedback and make changes for the next run on the fly, creating an effective improvement loop with other ei3 tools like RECIPE and MONITOR.
STEP 3. COORDINATE
Coordinate Quality Administrators (QAs) can use this ei3 app to define specifications and spec limits, quality tests, machine recipes, frequencies, SOP documents, responses and other aspects of the QA process. The app enables digitization of the Six Sigma method.
