EVERYTHING AN OPERATOR NEEDS

• The DC-4413 is capable of collecting both variables and attributes in the same unit

• With the programmable display prompts, and the audio-visual alarms, the possibility of errors by operators is greatly reduced.

• Drawings can also be displayed, providing the operator with a visual reference of progression

TRACEABILITY TAGS

• Four user-definable, traceability tags (i.e. operator, lot #, machine) can be input via the keypad, pick list, or barcode scanner, and utilized to track and sort data for analysis and problem solving real time.

• Process Adjustments can be entered at anytime

CHARTS & STATISTICS• Variable Charts include Xbar / Range, Histogram, and

Process Capability Bar• Attribute Charts include C, P, Pareto, and the

Weighted Pareto• Statistics include Cp, Cpk, Cr, Ppk, mean, range,

standard / estimated sigma, skewness, kurtosis

REAL TIME PROCESS

CONTROL

WARNINGS & CAUSES

• Trend Analysis may be performed at the end of every subgroup.

• Assignable Causes address the violation.

• Corrective Action responses are noted.

• Comments can be entered if further explanation is needed.

DATA TRANSFER

• Part setups can be downloaded and data can be uploaded into any host PC via the included USB cable.

• When utilizing wireless networking, data is exported automatically at the completion of every subgroup, while leaving historical data for charting purposes. Part programs (inspection routines) can be downloaded as well from the server.

DATA ANALYSIS

• Data can be exported from the DC-4413 in a text (.dat) format, or a Microsoft Excel® (.csv) format, making it usable with practically any available off-the-shelf software package.

ONE SYSTEM JUST MAKES CENT$

• One system provides for a single training curve, increasing the likelihood of operator enthusiasm

• One system, regardless of department, enables operators to be repositioned with much less effort

• One system throughout the entire facility allows for the borrowing of units in the event of an emergency

• One system furnishes you the luxury of a single point of contact in the event of system maintenance or support

• One system affords you the opportunity to justify the cost over many departments rather than just one

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE

SAYING• “I wish to tell you that with the DC-9005 our SPC technician now has the ability to monitor and report on issues regarding process characteristics with supporting data for evidence with extreme speed.  In the past this was a three step process requiring around a half hour of her time; the time is now cut by more than two thirds. Our production operators are pleased with the device because they no longer have to worry about remembering to do their X bar and R charts or how to properly interpret them.  They now rely on the SPC technician and the DC-9005 to inform them of a problem.” We are pleased with this product.

Hi-Lex North American Headquarters• “We are still quite happy with our data collector.  Jarvis stopped by yesterday and updated our software.  I

was impressed by his knowledge of the unit.  He answered all of our questions and even offered some helpful programming tips along the way.  All of us at MEAA enjoyed working with him. The entire team at I&R Partners has been very supportive and I look forward to working with them again in the future. Their performance as well as that of the DC-9005 is the reason I recommend I & R Partners at every opportunity.”

Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America Inc.• “Regardless of where we were at the time we would have to go to a drawer where all of our inspection

files were kept on paper and pull any given inspection file to begin the measuring process on the parts.  The biggest dangers were that there were great possibilities that those pulling the files would possibly pull the wrong file, thus meaning time would be wasted in having to retrieve the proper file OR some body would be measuring the wrong dimensions on any given part.”

Electrolux USA• “The tool is working great and we have only begun to scratch the surface of the capabilities. We are using

it for our daily body measurements including gap and levelness and we have already got the CSV files set up to transfer to our graphs.”

Toyota Motor Manufacturing• "Before using your system our Cpk was below 1, and since using the system and really monitoring trends

and seeing when we are heading out of control before it's a problem we have been able to make process adjustments, and our average Cpk per part # is now some where around 2."
