Stopping to convert transction dates (OMG) to what part that is sucks. Reduce Que time. Owners and production control want to see the CMM beeping all day. Customers want clear, simple, concise reports and they want it thier way. What keeps my machine running is the efficiency of the off-line support. Don't mean to whine SPC is a value added function but needs to delegated to support personal and not need Key personal to make sense of the data. The data output needs to be stand alone. It needs to be a more proactive and not reactive system. Machines need to run and customers need there reports and a realtime system that isn't DOG and Pony is the answer. Further stand alone with more automation. Hoping the new datapage release embraces the shortcommings that have been on the table for quite sometime and can further automate the system and get people back to reducing que time.

Have you looked at the "MONITOR" function of Datapage? I have looked at it, once or twice, never really to do ANYTHING with it, but it is my understanding that with this running, it will be "REAL TIME" information. It will update automatically to show the SPC outcome of the processes you are monitoring. Without being in a production environment, I never did any more than look at it. Might need a class to "get it" so that it will do all that you want it to do. Color-coding, GREEN is great, yellow is warning, RED is BAD, that kind of thing.
