InfinityQS International, Inc., a global authority on real-time quality and Manufacturing Intelligence, has unveiled the missing puzzle piece to quality consistency in its latest eBook, “Quality and the Missing Puzzle Piece.” This eBook discusses the challenges that create data dis-integration and “quality chaos,” and then demonstrates how manufacturers can overcome these challenges by using technology, or a quality hub, to create a single quality picture.

A quality hub serves as an intelligent clearing house, bringing together these various data sources and creating a unified point of visibility to help manufacturers drive quality improvement and make more effective business decisions.”
As outlined in the eBook, a quality hub can mitigate the problems caused by the complex mix of the following:
- Processes: A quality hub offers the flexibility and speed to standardise data and globally integrate systems, no matter what controls are in place or where data are stored. Different tools and techniques resulting from M&A activity or legacy processes are no longer hindrances.
- People: Instead of accessing isolated data to provide only localised insight, quality teams can use the hub to gain a holistic view of overall enterprise performance. Also, executives have visibility into timely, actionable information to fuel improvement activities.
- Technology: Regardless of the coexistence of old and new equipment, conflicting data formats, or a complex data chain, a quality hub brings data together into a centralised database for optimal accessibility. Cloud deployment options can extend a hub’s capabilities to make data available from virtually anywhere, at any time, via any device.
