Improve visualization, predict issues, and prevent problems
WinSPC Version 7.2 boasts new capabilities that allow engineers to overlay charts and compare multiple variable statistics from a single screen. This empowers engineers with the right information at the right time—allowing them to make immediate, data-driven process improvement decisions.

Easily manage thousands of parts, reduce rote administrative tasks, and improve productivity
New administrative features in WinSPC Version 7.2 allow administrators to minimize routine set-up and maintenance tasks. For example, a user can select and apply a common set of properties to a large group of tags or characteristics within a WinSPC collection plan. This provides significant value to administrators who manage thousands of parts and specifications in WinSPC.

Improve integration with other manufacturing systems
Version 7.2’s newly added properties and methods to WinSPC’s Application Programming Interface (API) further improve the software’s ability to integrate with other manufacturing systems. WinSPC’s open architecture supports advanced integration by making the majority of its functionality available programmatically. This allows companies to easily automate and integrate WinSPC with other core manufacturing systems to improve product quality, process capability, operational performance, and manufacturing yield.
