ZONTEC DELIVERS FIRST WEB SPC VIA THE IPHONE 3G
Cincinnati, OH -- Zontec Inc. today announced support for its Synergy
3000™ statistical process control (SPC) software on the Apple iPhone™ 3G.
"The compatibility between these two technology leaders gives
manufacturing personnel another exciting new mobile device for real-time
quality assurance," says Zontec President Warren Ha.
Real-time Web feedback for more profitable manufacturing
Using the Apple iPhone web browser over a cellular network, quality
assurance personnel or suppliers can collect real-time production data
securely via the Synergy 3000 Web Operator application. Data is stored
on a centralized Microsoft SQL Server® database from anywhere in the
world. In addition, the Synergy 3000 Web Operator application can be
used for process monitoring, SPC charting and referencing SOPs,
engineering drawings and instructional guides over the iPhone's
Multi-Touch widescreen display. Synergy 3000 can also be used to
transmit e-mail alerts to iPhone 3G users whenever a manufacturing
process goes out of control. SPC charts can easily be captured as
screenshots and e-mailed to internal staff or customers to document
process conditions.
"The Apple iPhone 3G is an extremely flexible and cost-effective
alternative to proprietary handheld data recorders for companies that
are interested in automated data entry in an ultra-portable form
factor," notes Ha.
A global view of multi-plant operations
However, the benefits of Synergy 3000 on the iPhone 3G aren't limited
solely to the plant floor environment. A second, complementary Synergy
3000 browser application, the Web Manager, provides a dashboard view of
enterprise-wide processes along with advanced reporting capabilities to
telecommuters and staff members in remote locations.
"The iPhone3G-Synergy 3000 combination reflects Zontec's commitment to
be an industry innovator and bringing the latest automation technologies
to its user community," concludes Ha.
