VDA 5 Enhancements

Combining uncertainty evaluation with gauge studies

In the new Q-DAS release 14.0.2., in Solara, it is possible to perform a VDA 5 study, bringing together an uncertainty-based approach, which involves uncertainty budgets and conformance limits, with the widely used Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) procedures such as gauge R&R studies.

Implementation of Kendall’s evaluation

An additional feature has been implemented, the Kendall’s evaluation, to evaluate ordinal characteristics with a test decision with reference or without reference.

Benefit:

Higher accuracy for the evaluation of industrial measurements systems analysis.

EMPB -VDA2.6 PAPP

In the new Q-DAS version (14.0.2.1), an additional PPAP report templatehas been implemented in accordance with VDA volume 2 6th edition. Additional new changes have been made to improve the User Experience during the generation of these reports, and new fields have been added to allow the user to enter data in the PDF file.

Form designer enhancements

To increase the flexibility during the creation of new reports, new additional fields have been added in Form Designer, like the dropdown window where user can set a list of selection, checkbox to allow user to select an approval or rejection or result and a free text window for manual input of the users in the PDF reports.

Benefits:

• Time saving and cost reduction during the PAPP generation
• Improve resource allocation
• Adherence to VDA 2.6 standards.

Combines perfectly with other solutions from the Hexagon portfolio

The QA portfolio suits the target group of users from the field that already uses PC-DMIS and Quindos to measure on the CMM, where Q-DAS or eMMA can capture and store this data to validate the Measurement system and the production machine capability, monitor in real-time the process capability and with the new TSAF feature users can predict alarms and react before a process gets out of control.

Customisation, usability, and performance enhancements give customers quicker access to and more control over how they interact with their data

Web-based enhancements:

Visualise your data the way you want to see it

Version 14 implements new ways to visualize data by allowing users to configure custom colors for alarms combined with more intuitive displays for instances where data is missing. Combined with clickable boxes for top-down navigation and general performance improvements, users can now more easily interpret their data.

Select and view the data you want, faster and easier

Version 14 gives customers more control over how they view and access their data. This includes the ability to set custom refresh cycle and customize basic graphic layouts to highlight what matters to you. It is also now easier to load machines and make custom field selections from your database, with the ability to store global and user-specific configurations for quicker recall.

Gain more control with full implementation of user and group management tools

The web application gains full support for user management with the latest release. Customers can now create, delete, edit users and groups, and manage system permissions all from the web application.

Access your preferred applications with extended short links 

Users will notice improvements immediately upon opening the browser as we’ve added the ability to dive straight into their desired application, save preferred “start” application, and configure short links for quicker access to what matters most.

Desktop enhancements:

Expand your scope with support for even more standards and methodologies

• solara.MP adds extension to VDA 5 edition 3  This extension offers more accurate and fine evaluation of measurement uncertainty, easier definition and input of reference data details, direct import of type 1, type 2/3 in the measurement system and process masks, and increased usability.
• qs-STAT gains Anderson-Darling Test support in evaluation strategies  This addition allows for integration in automatic evaluation, P-value as evaluation criterion, and includes graphics for displaying the characteristic values for the distribution classification or results of the test procedure. 

Dive deeper into your data with new filter methods

The ability to create and utilize complex filters based on sub-selections allows users to fine tune data look ups using additional contextual filters form the selection result. New functions enable the ability to filter for alphanumeric data without even knowing the content.

Support for streaming technology offers more flexibility and saves time

With the new MQTT client integration, this release allows customers to take advantage of streaming technology for faster and more flexible access to their data.
