Mix and match any licensed module to form a bundled package for increased flexibility and reduced cost of ownership. Workgroups come in packages of 5, 10, and 15. (Real-Time Professional 3D is not included).

MeasurLink is Mitutoyo’s data collection and Statistical Process Control (SPC) software solution. It is the ideal solution to automate and centralize data collection, analyze inspection data, measure processes, reduce scrap and improve customer relations. MeasurLink combines Real-Time online data collection with Real-Time SPC charts and analysis for operators and Real-Time Quality Control/Supervisor Reports and Alerts for your entire manufacturing system. MeasurLink is designed for integrated networks to create a quality information-sharing system that includes a comprehensive metrology solution for your company. Assemble a software package from any of the MeasurLink modules to satisfy your organization's specific needs.

Mitutoyo has been developing MeasurLink and serving manufacturing quality programs for more than twenty years. It represents the design input of industry experts and thousands of manufacturers across the globe. It is quality inspection, management, and analysis software built on a technology platform for the most robust performance and reliability. MeasurLink can serve the smallest shop to the largest multi-national enterprise with the most ease of use and power available in SPC software today. It is designed with Industry 4.0 and Smart Factory in mind and provides the scalability, extensibility, and interoperability you need in your future factory

Benefits of the MeasurLink Data Software:

• Ensure part quality and consistency
• Increase data visibility and accessibility
• Increase ease-of-use for inspectors in all environments
• Reduce manufacturing defects through the use of real-time SPC 

MeasurLink is an integral part of Six Sigma activities. Unlike other software, MeasurLink calculates and monitors statistical metrics as each part is measured. This Real-Time monitoring allows users to control the quality of the product during production and prevent costly defects

• Live statistical data testing
• Email alerts and alarms for out-of-control processes
• Real-time Cp, Cpk, Pp, and Ppk calculations
• Immediate pre-control, X-Bar R, and IMR charting
• Assignable cause and corrective action data entry

MeasurLink allows companies to control the quality of their processes by identifying and reducing process variation.

AS9100 requires a great focus on establishing and complying with design requirements. MeasurLink uses a Part, Routine, and Characteristic structure that allows users to build and maintain a system to ensure the customer’s design requirements are being inspected and held to conformance. AS9102 describes the details for the first article inspection while AS9103 defines the expectations for statistical process control. Multiple Routines, or the use of Variable Inspection Frequency along with Real-Time SPC, allows the user to ensure these inspection requirements are met.

Continuous Improvement activity is nonstop in automotive facilities locally and globally. Constantly improving your process will not only improve the quality of your products, it will also save you money. By having more efficient processes, customer satisfaction will also improve. Use MeasurLink to:

• Reduce scrap
• Prevent non-conformities
• Reduce cycle time
• Improve tool life accuracy

Traceability is information about a part that is important, but not a measurement. This information can be collected and used as criteria for filtering the data.

• Serial Number, Lot Number, Customer, Invoice, Order Fixture, Machine Line, Material Type, etc.

This information is just as important as the actual measurement data. Many energy components have a long life in use and retention and access to not only measurements, but traceability data that is necessary to ensure the component is up to the job. MeasurLink data is easily retained and accessible to meet this need.

Part 11 applies to drug makers, medical device manufacturers, biotech, and other FDA-regulated industries. It requires manufacturers to implement controls including audits, system validations, audit trails, electronic signatures, and documentation for software and systems involved in processing the electronic data. MeasurLink implements strong support for these requirements. Some of the tools used in Part 11 Compliance are:

• Electronic signatures
• Audit trails
• Unique users and login credentials
• Software validation 

Measurement data is only useful if it can be found when it is needed. Manufacturers need instant access to data regardless of when or where it was measured. MeasurLink Process Analyzer meets the analytical and reporting needs of manufacturers.

• Filter Data by traceability items
• Merge data from other Lots or processes
• Generate reports on current or historical data
• Summary reports allow complex reviews of large amounts of data
• Multivariate charting allows analysis of correlation
• Access data from any workstation in the system, across the room, or anywhere on your network
