For every inspection item, users can generate a complete SPC analysis report with a single click.

The report includes:

  • Appropriate control charts and subgroup distribution charts
  • Process capability reports (including PPK, CPK, PPM, histograms, and fitted curves)
  • Normal probability plots and capability comparison charts
  • Normality tests and distribution fitting analysis
  • Machine learning abnormality detection charts
  • Statistical summary tables and process capability tables
  • Data details and rainbow charts
  • Historical abnormalities and corrective actions

4.3 Corrective Action Support

Users can conveniently review historical alarms and corresponding corrective actions for each inspection item.

The control chart comment section in SPC analysis reports supports file attachment uploads.
After abnormal red points are processed, they automatically change into green points, making the handling process more visual and traceable.

4.4 Historical Alarm Records

4.5 Inspection Item Comparison

Users can select and compare multiple inspection items.

4.6 Batch Export of SPC Analysis Reports

Multiple inspection items can be selected and exported to Excel in batches.

4.7 Large Language Model Integration

Supports integration with both public and private AI large language models, including private DeepSeek deployment.

5. SPC Dashboards

As manufacturing becomes increasingly digitalized, workshop dashboards are widely used to monitor production processes, order progress, and workstation loads.

SPC quality dashboards follow the same visualization trend by enabling real-time quality monitoring at every production stage requiring SPC control.

  • Create unlimited dashboards
  • Add unlimited control charts to each page
  • Each page has an independent URL for workshop display screens
  • Supports:
  • SPC control charts
  • Pre-control charts (rainbow charts)
  • Capability analysis histograms
  • All charts update dynamically in real time
  • Supports private dashboard categorization and management
  • Dashboard categories and chart layouts support drag-and-drop arrangement

5.1 Dynamic Dashboards

Dynamic dashboards can automatically display inspection items from selected categories whenever data updates occur.

5.2 Comprehensive Dashboards

5.3 Statistical Dashboards and Custom Charts

6. SPC Monitoring

6.1 Monitoring Configuration

Abnormal inspection item notifications now support different notification groups for different inspection item categories.

6.2 Alarm Rules

6.3 Abnormality Lists

6.4 Email Notifications

6.5 OA or other Notifications

7. Data Collection

7.1 Manual Entry

Inspection data can be manually entered with real-time SPC control chart updates.

7.2 Multi-Item Entry

Multiple inspection items — even of different types — can be entered simultaneously.

7.3 Excel Batch Upload

Inspection data can be uploaded in batches using predefined Excel templates.

7.4 Mobile Data Entry

7.5 MQTT Data Collection

Supports real-time data collection from inspection equipment and production equipment using MQTT protocol.

7.6 HTTP Interface Synchronization

If inspection data already exists in another business system, it can be synchronized through HTTP APIs without re-entry.

7.7 Active JSON Data Collection

7.8 SAP Inspection Plan Synchronization

8. Powerful Analysis Tools

8.1 SPC Historical Analysis

SPC historical analysis enables periodic statistical analysis and comparison of inspection items.

Features include:

  • Specify analysis start and end dates
  • Statistical dimensions:
  • Quarterly
  • Monthly
  • Weekly
  • Daily
  • Select statistical indicators such as:
  • Cpk
  • Number of abnormal points
  • Multiple inspection items can be analyzed simultaneously
  • Results can be visualized or exported

8.2 Box Plot Analysis

For variable-type inspection data, box plots can be generated based on fixed time intervals.

8.3 Correlation Analysis

SPC systems contain large amounts of inspection data, and some inspection items may share correlations.

Traditionally, engineers export data into Excel or Minitab for regression and correlation analysis.

NEXSPCprovides a far more efficient method:

  • Perform scatter plot and regression analysis across multiple inspection items
  • Align inspection dates using different methods
  • Lag periods can be configured as ranges instead of testing individually
  • Complete analysis directly inside one system without exporting data
  • Automatically identify correlated inspection items across:
  • N inspection items
  • M lag periods

8.4 CPK Tool

Users can directly perform SPC control chart analysis and CPK analysis without creating inspection items or synchronizing data.

Features include:

  • Supports variable data and subgroup SPC analysis
  • Supports Excel copy-paste data analysis
  • Replaces Minitab-style control chart and capability analysis functions

New Features

  • Non-normal distribution analysis support (Box-Cox transformation)
  • SPC analysis support for variable subgroup sizes
  • Full support for one-sided specification limits across:
  • Monitoring modules
  • Control charts
  • SPC rule violation rules

8.5 Regression Analysis

Also includes:

  • ANOVA
  • Normality Tests
  • Distribution Fitting
  • One-Sample T-Test
  • Two-Sample T-Test

9. MSA Support

Gauge Linearity and Bias Study

Gauge R&R Study (Nested)

Gauge R&R Study (Crossed)

Attribute Agreement Analysis

10. Case Studies

10.1 Mettler Weighing System

A weighing device sends weight data through TCP SERVER communication.
A lightweight TCP CLIENT application captures the data and synchronizes it into the SPC system for real-time analysis.

10.2 Bluetooth Micrometer

10.3 Quality-Oriented Production Scheduling

For the same product and critical inspection item, quality data can be stratified by different sources such as:

  • Machine A / Machine B
  • Shifts
  • Production lines
  • Operators

This allows enterprises to identify CPK differences between sources and allocate important customer orders to higher-CPK production resources.

10.4 Active DCS Database Collection

Large amounts of production data already stored in data centers can be synchronized directly into the SPC system through direct database connections.
