Our Data Collection Solutions
In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, engineers and quality teams need continuous, accurate data from every step of production — not spreadsheets delivered hours later.
Automated data collection eliminates manual entry, drives real-time visibility, and connects measurement and machine performance directly to analytics and quality workflows.
Collect Inspection Data from CMMS, Gages, PLCs and More
Streamline inspection data collection from CMMs, gages, PLCs, and more. With hundreds of ready-to-use drivers and automated data transfer to your preferred SPC tools, the Collect solution eliminates manual entry, reduces errors, and gives you immediate visibility into quality.
OEE and Manufacturing Machine Monitoring
Minitab’s Scytec DataXchange is a Cloud and On-Premise OEE and analytic manufacturing machine monitoring system. Through the use of innovative IIoT technology and a user configurable real-time manufacturing dashboard, DataXchange provides up to the minute shop floor data and increases overall equipment effectiveness, utilization, and shop floor productivity.
Shop Floor Operator Manual Data Collection
Minitab knows that data tells a story and often the most important narrator of your shop floor data is the operator itself. Alongside all of Minitab’s automated data collection solutions is the ability to allow operators to manually collect data and input information, enabling you to receive critical information in real-time.
Minitab Connect
Even if you’re not collecting data straight from the factory floor, Minitab Connect allows you to access and integrate your data from a variety of sources. Stop wasting precious time formatting and blending CSVs and spreadsheets. Set-up automated analytics dashboards that lets you stop wasting time collecting, prepping and integrating data and spend more time solving problems and adding value.
Real-Time SPC
As any manufacturer knows, efficiency is key so quality and process monitoring is of the utmost importance. Real-Time SPC™ makes quality analysis and improvement easy in one convenient and comprehensive solution, while our monitoring and alerts in real-time allow for immediate action when quality varies, saving both time and money.
With 50 years of leading data analysis and process management, why trust your process monitoring with anyone else?
Trusted by engineers in organizations that move the world.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
“The ease of integration with our machine made this an easy choice.
The SPC charts update immediately after finishing a measurement routine and it is readily apparent when there are issues with a dimension. Reporting and export is a nice feature that provides a better interface than the measurement system's software does.”
