QUAD®

 (QUality ADvisor) is a software suite built around a centralized database for optimizing and streamlining the collaboration between different disciplines to improve productivity, quality and reliability. It has been designed to provide traceability of any board /systems electronic production data. It offers a powerful support for PCBA fault diagnosis and collects board repair data, for paperless repair. QUAD provides access to detailed information in real-time that can be presented clearly and precisely using advanced reporting. By providing an open data viewing software environment, it allows real time monitoring of manufacturing issues and problems to improve yield. It also supports links to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, finite capacity scheduling, SPQ/SPC modules, and can handle complex bills of materials (BOMs) and engineering change orders (ECOs). 

Benefits of QUAD

The strategic benefits that the manufacture can expect include:

  • Cycle-time reduction.
  • Scrap and cost reductions.
  • Time-to-market improvement.
  • Quality, productivity, and yield improvements.
  • Complete product/component traceability.
  • Improved data accuracy
  • Shared experience for the diagnostic.
  • Repair action more easy with the advanced diagnostic tools.

Tester Interface

QuadRecorder is a generic data logger that captures data from any test system connected to the database host.

Repair Station

Quad Station provides the user with a complete traceabil-ity and history of the product so that when PCBs have failed the test stage, relevant information can be either extracted Or added to the database, such as:

  • Test result retrieval.
  • Diagnostic assistance.
  • Recording of quality data.

Traceability & Quality

QuadReports allows interactive or automatic report generation using the de-facto standard Crystal Reports™  tool These textual and graphical reports are fully customizable and can exported in PDF or XML format to be easily distributed via email. The Web reporting is also available for presentation of quality report and repair data, available anytimeand anywhere.
