SPC
Big Step is a leading provider of advanced manufacturing intelligence and engineering analytics software applications. The SPC application help the manufacturer to reduce costly downtime and increase manufacturing performance by performing complex, high volume statistical calculations to quickly identify when production processes are trending out of control.
Overview
SPC automatically collect Statistical Process Control data from measuring & test equipment, PLC, machine, manual data, database server, OPC Server & etc.
SPC ensure that statistical process control (SPC) data is accurately collected on time. This SPC software will help you reduce or eliminate late or missing sample collection, inaccurate sample data and other issues leading to quality problems. Deliver your SPC data in real-time to the right people in a comprehensive format using the flexible control charts and analysis tools.
Standard Architecture
SPC is uses hierarchical data structures where it design using client-server centralize database technology and online communication to external measuring device.
SPC Control Chart
All the data in the world is of no use without good analysis tools, so we built the SPC Module with a full range of powerful and flexible SPC Control Charts.
With customizable appearance settings for charts, tables, control limits and signals, you have the power to see the information you need – in the way you want.

Automatic SPC Data Collection
SPC data can come from a variety of sources so Big Step comes with the tools you need to collect it. Big Step SPC was built with support for automatically collecting data from PLC devices, lab instruments, RS232 devices, USB devices, data files, MSSQL, MYSQL, Oracle databases.
The collected data the be stored into a centralized database for data analysis and reporting purpose.
Integration with Minitab and other analysis software
One of the typical complaints I have heard over the years in the Six Sigma Community is that transferring data between Minitab and other programs is a hassle. Sure you can cut past from any program to another, but that becomes repetitive and a source for potential error.
Big Step have created a very useful software application called Minitab Link which can automate the information transfer between Big Step SPC module and Minitab or other analysis software. This allows you to focus on your analysis, not the mechanics of getting the data from equipment where you need it.
