Trident’s new eSPC software allows users to scan (or manually enter) individual assembly barcodes as they are loaded into the Trident automatic defluxing and cleanliness testing system. All process parameters are stored and can be easily viewed either on-screen or via a wireless printer. Additionally, all relevant process data is stored and associated with specific assembly serial numbers.
The following process data is captured automatically with the eSPC Software:
- Assembly serial number
- Date/time of batch (start and completion)
- Programmed wash solution temperature
- Actual wash solution temperature
- Maximum quantity of programmed rinse cycles
- Actual quantity of rinse cycles
- Programmed cleanliness value
- Actual cleanliness value
- Pass/Fail cleanliness status
- Programmed drying time
- Actual drying time
- Programmed drying temperature
- Actual drying temperature
- Operator name
- Operator notes
- Equipment notifications (if any)
The eSPC software’s advanced search capability may be used to search for specific assemblies that previously have been cleaned and tested. Users may enter an individual assembly serial number, date ranges, operator names or recipe names for access to specific SPC data records. Additionally, users may view or print all SPC data records. Trident’s eSPC software also is equipped with an export feature, allowing all SPC data to be exported as an .XML file for import into Excel® or other data capturing software.
Trident’s eSPC software stores the captured data in an industry standard SQL database for easy data integration into third-party software. As an additional benefit, Trident’s eSPC software is compatible with 1- and 2-D USB barcode scanners.
