Measurement system analysis software (MSA)
solara®
Q-DAS Inc
solara provides the complete tool kit to evaluate and qualify the measuring systems and processes that are used in turn for the ongoing statistical analysis of manufacturing processes. To ensure that the measurements are reliable - reflecting actual and existing conditions - the measurement processes must be verified and qualified as trustworthy. solara will carry out the necessary capability studies for measurement system and process verification, to eliminate the risk of misinterpretation of the collected data.
Capability Study according to MSA
In the automotive industry, the substantiation and practical implementation of capability studies have been based on company specific guidelines. The main differences between the generally accepted studies such as the Typle-1 Study (Cg/Cgk), Type-2 and Type-3 (%GRR), or Linearity and Stability studies are found in the calculation methods and in the limit values. solara encompasses multiple evaluation methods which include multiple guidelines from the automotive industry including those of the MSA guideline, of the AIAG Core Tools (formally QS-9000).
Process Capability after VDA 5
VDA Volume 5, the European equivalent of the MSA guideline, requires evaluation of measurement processes using Measurement Uncertainty which is determined via practical methods similar to the capability study, but is based on specifications from GUM (Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement) and the DIN EN V 13005.
