SigmaQuest will showcase its new SigmaSPC solution at Booth #3557 at Apex 2003.

The internationally acclaimed APEX showcases the latest innovations for the electronics industry. OEM companies, suppliers, and EMS manufacturers from all over the world will demonstrate their latest technologies for process control, reliability, test, supply chain, and electronics assembly. 

For more show information see the Apex 2003 (http://www.goapex.org/) website.

At this show SigmaQuest will demonstrate its unique real-time product performance intelligence for lab, factory and field. It will show how product test data is automatically collected real-time from various sources, aggregated across worldwide supply chain and converted into actionable information.

SigmaSure is the first commercially available tool to enable real-time product performance intelligence. It consists of SigmaProbe, SigmaConnect, SigmaAnalysis and SigmaSPC.

SigmaProbe provides real-time test data capture through its application programming interface (API) that supports C, C++, C#, Perl, Java, Visual Basic and NI’s TestStand. SigmaConnect employs peer-to-peer technology to warehouse data across the extended supply chain. Based on SigmaConnect's flexible data mining capabilities, SigmaAnalysis provides configurable data visualization as well as packaged analytics.

About SigmaSPC

SigmaSPC (Statistical Process Control) is real-time analytics for understanding processes and improving quality. SigmaSPC automatically collects sample test data across the globe and then generates control charts. These charts show relative quality measurements of processes and products. SigmaSPC web-based reports include USL, LSL, USL and LSL sigma, Average, Sigma, Cp, Cpk, Max and Min. This provides users with instant notification of problems and process instability enabling them to quickly find, fix and avoid disastrous errors. This is a must for companies who have implemented company-wide quality control programs such as TQM or Six Sigma.
