Full-Protocol Data Acquisition — Connect Everything via Any Method
1Online Manual Entry

We provide a convenient web-based interface for manual entry. It supports real-time tolerance validation; if a value exceeds spec limits, the input box immediately turns red. Supports both single and batch item entry. This lightweight online SPC method lets you launch digital quality management quickly with zero hardware investment.

2One-Click Digital Gauge Direct Connection

To solve manual errors in high-frequency measurement, NEXSPC supports direct connection of digital calipers, micrometers, and indicators. Connect via USB or Bluetooth adapter; simply press the send button on the gauge, and data is instantly populated into the system. This auto-sync mode boosts single-piece measurement efficiency by over 3x and minimizes human error.

3Excel Template Batch Import

For historical legacy data, non-networked offline devices, or existing spreadsheet workflows, the system includes two built-in Excel templates. Simply upload your organized quality data, and the system instantly parses and stores hundreds of records. This is the most cost-effective solution for data migration and offline SPC analysis.

4File Server Data Extraction

For inspection equipment that saves data to a local file server, NEXSPC offers 'File Watcher' technology. The system monitors designated folders in real-time. Once a CSV or TXT report is generated, it automatically captures and parses key measurement metrics, achieving non-intrusive automated data acquisition.

5Database Staging Table Integration

If quality data exists in MES, LIMS, or ERP databases but APIs are unavailable or development is not possible, NEXSPC supports reading from mainstream databases like SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL. By configuring staging tables or views, the system performs scheduled data synchronization at preset frequencies.

6TCP Port Listening

For hardware like electronic scales, torque wrenches, and weight indicators that send raw data via TCP-Server ports, NEXSPC acts as a TCP CLIENT to listen in real-time. Once the device sends a packet, the system instantly captures, parses, and stores it. This low-level TCP acquisition capability perfectly fits the networking needs of simple industrial instruments.

7Direct PLC Connection (OPC UA)

NEXSPC fully supports the OPC UA standard protocol, effortlessly reading thousands of data points from factory OPC Servers. It communicates directly with mainstream PLCs like Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Omron without middleware. By configuring register addresses, NEXSPC enables high-frequency acquisition of process parameters like temperature, pressure, and RPM.

8MQTT IoT Subscription

In IIoT scenarios, NEXSPC supports the standard MQTT protocol. Acting as a Subscriber, the system receives quality topic messages published by smart gateways or edge computing nodes in real-time. This lightweight IoT SPC solution is ideal for bandwidth-constrained or geographically distributed factory environments.

9RESTful API Interoperability (Push/Pull)

To meet deep customization needs, we offer open RESTful APIs. NEXSPC supports both the API Push mode, where MES systems actively 'push' data to SPC, and the API Pull mode, where the SPC system periodically 'pulls' data from third-party systems. This flexible interface strategy allows NEXSPC to seamlessly embed into any enterprise IT ecosystem.
