Metrology

Measurement device management acc to 505/90 Sb., ISO/IEC 17025, EA 04/02, MSA, VDA 5

System PalstatCAQ offers a complete metrology solution in whole chain from calibration laboratory, via business metrology, gauges workshop to end user of measures. The purpose of the module is to provide metrological services according to law nr. 505/90 Sb., norms required EN ISO/IEC 17025 and related standards ČSN ISO 10012:2003.

The MSA Module is determined for the analysis and processing of the measurement process by methods according to requirements within the automotive industry and their long time archiving.

Module Laboratory is determined to data input and requirements administration for laboratory tests, managing work in corporate laboratories and archiving of laboratory tests results

MSA methods

Software allows analysis processing according to requirements from AIAG, VDA and others:
- RM/ARM - Range method and Average Range Method
- ANOVA Analysis of Variance
- Linearity of measurement system
- Attribute Study
- Methods Cg/Cgk according to Ford, Bosch and VDA
- Measurement uncertainty by EA-4/02
- Measurement and Inspection Processes according to VDA 5

Data preparation

In module can be defined individual laboratories (useful for administration more laboratories), their administrators, costs also overhead rates. Further is possible to determined types and resources of laboratory tests with prepared and optional information with types of required outputs/reports. Individual user of module Laboratory can set access for performing the necessary acts/tasks.

Internal calibration

Calibration planning
Creation of calibration procedures
Traceability of gauges
Tolerances of smooth and threaded gauges
Data connection from gauges
Generation of calibration protocols

Linkage to other modules in PALSTAT CAQ

Module MSA can uses linkage to other modules in the system, especially:

Information regarding dimension of product and tolerance can be used from the Parts database and Control plan modules.

Information about the measurement device in use can be found in the module Measuring instruments.

Requirements for tests

System allows input requirements for tests by laboratory workers based on received information or direct input form by taskmaster. For each test requirement based on Type test defined mandatory fields and optional data which taskmaster must state. Part of assignment is priority of requirement important for work planning. Requirement for test is assigned selected laboratory and can be define term of execution.

Calculation during calibration

For internal calibrations can system automatically perform tolerance calculations
Smooth gauges acc. to ISO 286 and ČSN 25 3102
Thread gauges acc. to ISO 1502 and ČSN 25 4108
ANSI/ASME thread gauges
Calipers according to DIN862
and uncertainty in calibration type A and B in accordance with EA 4/02 and ČSN ISO 14235 1-3 GPS

Method selection

A newly created analysis can be chosen from the available methods in the MSA module. A method is assigned parameters which are designed by the selected method e.g. number of Controllers, number of Samples etc.

Planning work in laboratory

Based on accepted test requirements, administrator of each laboratory can perform work planning. This involves assigning tests to individual laboratory staff with regard to their capacity as well as setting the date and time of the test. Scheduled examinations are available to lab workers who can work on them.

External calibration

Planning, issuing and revenue from calibration
Calibration lists in the attachment
Calibration costs
List of calibration laboratories
Monitoring of certificate validity
Online assignment of laboratory calibration

Entry of measured values

Based on the chosen method a table is prepared for the entry of measured values. Some methods allow the entry of reference values for each sample. Measured values can be loaded by drivers into the PALSTAT CAQ system from digital devices or machines.

Implementation and test results

As long as the tests are carried out, the partial procedure and results can be recorded in the system if desired. Taskmaster may therefore have an overview of its implementation. The final test result is appended to the test in accordance with the required output type. The test results can be processed as controlled documentation to prevent unwanted or non-systemic changes in documents.

Gauges workshop

Gauges workshop with or without attendance
Identification of users by attendance cards
Marking of gauges by DMC, RFID etc.
Connection to stackers (paternosters)
Record about issuing / revenue of gauge
Monitoring about calibration validity

Results of analysis

After entering the data the results of the measured process analysis can be shown. Each method has indicators dependent on its method (Cg, Cgk, GRR, ndc, Qmp and others).Statistic indicators (R, X, LCL, UCL, ...) are also available.

The entered data can be visualized using a range of graphs and analytical tools.

Data analysis

Test data also serves as the basis for all analyzes. It is possible to monitor not only a number of different types of tests, but also time and cost, broken down by laboratories, taskmasters or types of tests. By using links to other Palstat CAQ modules, it is possible to analyze test quantities and prices also with regard to registered parts, customers or suppliers, centers and other indicators.

Marking of gauges

Datamatrix (DMC) on gauge direct or sticker abrasion resistant
Read of reader, by mobile phone from list of gauges
Movement in internal / external calibration
Issuing and revenue in Gauges workshop
Information vizualization about gauge for user
RFID marking can be used
Information about gauge in mobile phone

Reports

One of the components in the MSA module is a series of print reports prepared for different methods. The reports are blank and values can be input by hand. Reports are available in foreign languages (English)

Print reports can be modified or created according to each customer's requirements in the print report editor.

Reporting

Using the Reporting web module can be selected analytics and reports directly accessed by any user directly on the company intranet or sent by email. This ensures not only the immediate availability of data to those users who need them for further work, but also reduces the administrative burden of laboratory staff on reports and analyzes.

Outputs and reports

Module includes reports used for faster finding required information. System can be expanded about automatically send information by e-mail e.g.:
Forthcoming calibration
Gauges without validi calibration
Information about passed calibration
Calibration schedule for external laboratories
and many others

VDA 5: Capability of Measurement Processes

One of the methods in the MSA module is VDA 5 2.edition Capability of Measurement Processes. When entering analysis data into VDA 5 it is possible to chose one from the prepared types of measured processes with a combined model which defines the influence of uncertainties on the measured process. Results of VDA 5 analysis are: - Uncertainty of measured device Ums and coefficient Qms - Uncertainty of measured process Ump and coefficient Qmp - Least measured tolerance Tmin-Ums / Ump
