SILQual

Make your quality controls easier
In order to give their customers a high level of quality, glass manufacturers must carry out numerous tests on items they produce.

SILQual makes this tedious job simple.
In a user-friendly way, the glass manufacturer can create his own Quality database, record and restore test results and communicate with manufacturing lines.

New 2009 version SILQual
SIL LAB
SIL Lab was created by Vertech' for glassmakers in 2004. Many evolutions have been added to this application recently, such as the analysis of raw materials. Thanks to this application, the use of paper in the laboratories has been considerably reduced, added to the following benefits for our Clients :
securisation of data
total traceability of chemical analyses, thanks to recording in database
immediate information inside the group, thanks to data centralization
SPC restitution for Controllers
SILQual already proposed SPC restitution for the Quality Manager. 2009 version allows SPC restitution SPC for Controllers too, for measurements and set outs.
New functionalities
New display of 5mn counters
Possibility to add an instruction for the controllers, in the description of the control step
New daily report showing hour per hour the results of set outs
New connections
Communication with KERN Scale
Communication with Prolaser with new display
Communication with Emhart ISIS machine
Communication with AGR MBT7400 machine
Communication with Mitutoyo Crysta Apex


SILQual
SILQual is now available in English, American, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Bulgarian, Romanian, and Chinese soon

SIL Lab was created by Vertech' for glassmakers in 2004. Many evolutions have been added to this application recently, such as the analysis of raw materials. Thanks to this application, the use of paper in the laboratories has been considerably reduced, added to the following benefits for our Clients: - securisation of data - total traceability of chemical analyses, thanks to recording in database - immediate information inside the group, thanks to data centralization To trace composition and raw materials, SIL Lab is the solution to manage your chemical analyses. This application is used by central chemical laboratory of glassmakers, as well as by the glass laboratory of every plant.


for the central lab

Thanks to SIL Lab, you can :
- record the analyses made on composition and raw materials
- watch the results on curves or grids - follow the analyses performed in real time
- ensure traceability of composition steps (follow of changes and costs)
- edit certificates of analyses, automatically combined with biometric signature

for the plant lab

Thanks to SIL Lab, you can :
- see the analyses made in the central lab of the group
- take out daily controls on articles (density, refining, homogeneity, hydrolytic resistance).



SPC restitution for Controllers
SILQual already proposed SPC restitution for the Quality Manager. 2009 version allows SPC restitution SPC for Controllers too, for measurements and set outs.





SPC Reports

The SIL offers the possibility to edit a new "SPC report" which shows the DPM and the sigma level for each control.




Consult the result of yours controls more quickly
You can go to the next set out in one click, without going off the screen
The step is clearly identified

Easier recording
• A calendar helps you to choose the required date
• When you have SILQual only, you can change the number of sections of IS machine from SILQual manager
Enregistrement des résultats

More detailed export
Now you can export all the results of a control cavity per cavity
You can visualize lots
Modus operandi
The operator opens the production he sampled. He records mould numbers and the date of sampling.
Then, he follows instructions for proceeding to controls.

Data entry screens
The data entry screen is adapted to each type of control equipment.

It informs the operator on the test and gives him more flexibility to manage items to be controlled.

Values out of tolerances

When a value is out of tolerances, the operator can edit different copies of the list of moulds and defects controlled.



Traceability
Powerful tools allow your personnal data processing : internal reports,
customized certificates of conformity for your customers...

You can print quality reports for internal use, certificates of conformity and listings according to your needs
You may also use the utility to customize them for your customers..

Certificate of conformity are more flexible and more precise
You have the possibility to edit a certificate for another plant of the group (the address can be changed on SILQual manager) You can precise the reference of finished product and lot
Enregistrement des résultats

Value outside tolerance

You can consult at any time the list of values outside tolerance. You can neutralize them and associate a comment with them (resorting, ejected mould...)

Interpret results

With explicit control charts, giving the various limits, you can immediately interpret results. SILQual is an efficient tool to place your productions under control.



Connections

New modern communication display with API from MSC-SGCC for gaging controls
VERSION 2009
• Communication with KERN Scale
• Communication with Prolaser with new display
• Communication with Emhart ISIS machine
• Communication with AGR MBT7400 machine
• Communication with Mitutoyo Crysta Apex

VERSION 2008
Connection to Finish coating measurement system and VBG profile from AGR

• 2008 Minilabs protocol has been improved and Vertech' integrated these modifications



Data managing and storing
You key in quality data for your plant into SILQual database.
A powerful server and database ensure your data integrity.

You define your plant configuration, your operators, your control devices...
in fact all your control means.
For a glass-making quality control with the software SILQual



Deletion of production informations stored in the database

Manufacturers must contractually keep the measurements of a production for several years, depending on the article and on the client. As time goes by, data accumulate and overload the database leading to updates slowdown.

SILQual uses the notion of the article lifespam to determine if a production for this article may be deleted. Deleting a production means remove data stored (totally or partially) during production, quality controls (SILQual) and possibly during pallet audit. However, the production sheet is still available, in particular to consult the production report.
Centralized Database New SILQual functionality

SIL database can now be shared between several plants. Thus, the Control range of each article is exactly the same for the different plants.
Each article is assigned to a Managing Plant which is the only one to be responsible for modifying its parameters. However, thanks to data reorganization, each plant can adapt its working weight for each production line

Production orders

Declare production orders for each item being manufactured. These will enable operators to start or stop controls.

Ranges

You define a control range for each item. This will provide operators with all the necessary information to carry out strict controls: frequency, control means, acceptable limits...



Biometric Recognition


The Biometric Recognition (by fingerprints) is now available under SILQual :
It will be used for the biometric authentification of quality documents sent to clients.
It enables to positively identify operators who realize quality controls or samplings.

This function was developped to answer the requirements of the Drug & Food Administration (USA).


SILQual : gaging restitution

Thanks to SILQual, you can easily store gaging measurements made by API, AMD or Profiler from MSC.

Vertech' has developed communication with these machines for storage and restitution of gaging at different heights of the bottle.

SILQual collects measurements and store them in the database as other measurements made in the laboratory (weight, capacity …).
