Quality information specialist QISoft has installed QISv5 software in the production,
technical and laboratory areas at the plant of a leading pressure-sensitive material manufacturer in Brazil. This follows
on from the software being used and proven by the same manufacturer at more than 20 sites in the USA and Europe. The
installation was the first for QISoft’s new South American distributor, Automat of Sao Paulo.
QISv5 is a high performance, distributed information management system that provides a 'single window' view of operational
data from one or more disparate sources. Based on a standard query language SQL database application, the software was
selected for its functionality and QISoft’s customer support and knowledge of the pressure-sensitive material industry.
The project was driven by the need to replace an outdated system and an increasing need for real-time information
and reporting of product quality data to aid the efficient running of the mill. Links to Allen Bradley, NDC and Siemens
process control systems are made through the QIS ProcessLink interface module to collect online data for instant communication
around the plant.
Automat worked closely with QISoft to project manage the installation and to provide comprehensive training. They
will provide ongoing support and training to the customer. Further installations are planned in 2005 for sister plants
in Argentina and Columbia.
Gilson Luiz Adorno, commented on behalf of Automat, “The whole project has gone very smoothly with the operators quickly
adjusting to QIS. They are now gaining a lot more information than with the old system and users can quickly run reports
and analyses to monitor key performance indicators.”
Speaking on behalf of QISoft, president Kevin Luxton explained, “This customer is one of the most respected companies
within the industry and we are proud of their use of QIS worldwide. Using the array of analytical and reporting tools
within QIS, information is now in one place to support and monitor process improvements and improve efficiency. This
installation cements our position in South America and presents many new opportunities to promote QIS in this region.”
QISoft, through its comprehensive suite of manufacturing execution systems, is at the forefront in delivering benefits
to many of the world’s leading companies, providing up to the second information throughout the whole manufacturing cycle.
It has an extensive blue-chip customer base that is supported through a network of offices and distributors that offer
product training and 24x7 support.
