Avance Control has provided Waterside Asset Management with the advantage of real time statistical process control tools designed specifically for our customer applications. Their attention to details is extraordinary and their desire to live the Quality Improvement Process is obvious.” Gordon Guthrie, Waterside Asset Management LLC

Significant new features of Avance 3.0 include:
Serial data aquisition — connect to any instrument such as calipers and gauges to collect data in real time via serial port connections. Real time data aquisition and SPC - data may be collected and evaluated statistically in real time.

OPC client creation - create an OPC client that writes to OPC server registers when the process goes out-of-control. OPC clients allow direct integration of Avance SPC into automated processes.

Visual Logbook - the logbook takes journal entries to help track process changes. Each entry may be displayed chronologically on control charts to help determine special causes of variation. Entries may be used to blank previous data points and take users through cycles of aquiring data, calculating statistical control, and making changes to a process. Capability reports - capability is calculated and common values for cp, cpk, ST, and DNS are reported.Specification limits - specification limits may be added to any variable and shown on capability histograms.

Pricing and Availability
Avance is available now. Pricing for an annual license is $500.00. Special consultant and educational pricing is available upon request.
