SPC (Statistical Process Control) continuously monitors process quality on the shop floor by collecting and analyzing large volumes of production data.
When an abnormal condition occurs, how can personnel be notified immediately without constantly keeping the SPC software open?
NexSPC provides six alert notification channels to ensure that quality issues are detected and addressed as quickly as possible.
1. Email Notifications
Email is one of the most commonly used alert channels in manufacturing environments.
NexSPC can automatically send notifications when:
Control Chart Violations Occur
When a control chart detects an out-of-control condition or violates an SPC rule, the system immediately sends an alert email to designated recipients.
Process Capability Issues Occur
If process capability indicators such as Cp, Cpk, Pp, or Ppk fall below predefined thresholds, relevant personnel can receive automatic notifications.
Consolidated Exception Reports
The system can also periodically send a complete list of process abnormalities, allowing managers and quality engineers to review all outstanding issues in a single report.
2. WeCom (Enterprise WeChat) Notifications
For organizations using WeCom (Enterprise WeChat), NexSPC can push real-time abnormality alerts directly to individuals, departments, or group chats.
Benefits include:
- Instant delivery
- Mobile accessibility
- Faster response times
- Improved collaboration among quality teams
3. DingTalk Notifications
For companies using DingTalk as their primary collaboration platform, SPC alerts can be delivered automatically through DingTalk robots or group messaging.
This enables personnel to receive quality alerts without leaving their daily work environment.
4. Feishu (Lark) Notifications
NexSPC also supports Feishu (Lark) integration.
When abnormal conditions are detected, alerts can be pushed directly to:
- Individual users
- Department groups
- Project groups
- Manufacturing operation teams
This ensures critical process information reaches the right people immediately.
5. API Interface Notifications
The notification methods above are designed for human users.
However, modern smart factories often require automated system-to-system communication.
NexSPC provides API-based alert interfaces that allow other business systems to retrieve abnormality information automatically.
Typical applications include:
- MES systems
- ERP systems
- Manufacturing execution workflows
- Quality management platforms
- Production scheduling systems
Other systems can use these interfaces to determine whether:
- Production orders should be paused
- Additional inspections are required
- Escalation workflows should be triggered
- Corrective actions should be initiated

Conclusion
Real-time abnormality detection is only the first step in SPC.
The real value comes from ensuring that the right people—or the right systems—receive the information immediately and take action.
With support for Email, WeCom, DingTalk, Feishu, API Interfaces, and MQTT Push Notifications, NexSPC helps manufacturers build a comprehensive real-time quality alert mechanism, enabling faster response, reduced quality risks, and smarter manufacturing operations.
