Software
PQ Systems produces various software packages aimed at regulated industries such as healthcare and manufacturing.
CHARTrunner
CHARTrunner is an SPC charting application that links to data from outside sources such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Oracle Databases, etc. The application creates control charts, Pareto charts, histograms, and run charts. Since the application doesn’t actually store the data, it will fetch current data from the source every time you open a chart.
GAGEpack
GAGEpack is a database application for the organization of gages such as micrometers, plugs, scales, etc. The application is designed to store all the data for gages such as history, calibration steps, procedures, name, location, vendors, next calibration date, etc. and alert the user when a gage is due for calibration or is in need of servicing. The application also performs measurement systems analysis (MSA).
SQCpack
SQCpack is an SPC charting application that creates control charts, Pareto charts, histograms, and run charts. The application has data entry and data storage capabilities.
