I've never used DataPage, and we don't have a lot of SPC at our shop (but we use other tools to inspect the parts that are run on the machines with SPC, like a tallyrond)
Using the internal PC-DMIS reporter, while quirky, seems to do a good enough job. It's a mother to set up, but once it's done it looks alright.
So I'm curious as to what the benefit of DataPage is. As far as I understand, it's just a seperate reporting software made by Hex that does more or less the same stuff (with a few added enhancements of course). It seems like bloatware.
Anyone who uses DataPage care to tell me some pros? I'm always looking to improve my experience (if I can do my job easier, well, that's more programs in the same amount of time.)
I'm relatively new to PC-DMIS, so I want to try out everything.
I figure if this or that is better I might as well try and get used to it now instead of getting used to something else and eventually trying that anyway!
Also, what's the difference between regular and plus? I would imagine plus has more (and
is more! $) but I'd like to know what actual users have to say about their personal experiences with the software.
While looking it up finds good results, I would imagine that a review by the people who wrote it might be a little biased...
We manufacture Hydraulic Valve Spools. All of our parts are cylindrical, no ifs ands or buts about it.
Basically there's talk about
getting SPC, but the higher-ups seem to think it will be too hard or expensive to get started to be worth it.
I like the idea to be honest. At least setting it up to have a database for us to go back and look at all of the measurements from the past sounds great for R&R
You,
Matthew D. Hoedeman , seem to know
exactly what it is you want in your set up.
+1 All around
