What it does

What SQCpack does

  • SPC charts and process alerts

    Monitor process data in real time with industry-standard control charts and automated alerts that flag out-of-control conditions before defects reach the customer.

    • Xbar-R, Individuals, CUSUM, EWMA, and attribute charts
    • Rule-based alerts with configurable escalation
    • Trend and run-rule detection across production runs
  • Capability and variation analysis

    Quantify whether your processes are meeting specifications using Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk, and histogram analysis — without requiring a statistician to interpret results.

    • Process capability indices for every characteristic
    • Pareto and histogram views for variation sources
    • Side-by-side comparison across lines or shifts
  • Audit-ready compliance records

    Satisfy ISO 9001, IATF 16949, AS9100, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 audit requirements with structured data trails and certificate-of-analysis outputs.

    • Tamper-evident data records for inspection
    • Certificate of Analysis templates built in
    • Customizable reports for customer or auditor delivery
  • Flexible data capture and integration

    Accept measurements from manual entry, SQL imports, Excel, CMMs, and handheld gauges — fitting the data collection method to the line rather than the reverse.

    • Direct CMM and handheld gauge interface
    • SQL and Excel import for existing datasets
    • ERP and MES integration via configurable connectors

Stay Audit-Ready with Smarter Gage Calibration Management

PQ Systems SQCpack and GAGEpack are complementary solutions that work together to provide a closed-loop quality management system, integrating measurement system control with process control and analysis.

How They Connect

GAGEpack ensures the accuracy and reliability of measurement tools, managing calibration schedules, usage history, and traceability. This guarantees that every data point used in process control is backed by a certified, audit-ready measurement device.

SQCpack then uses trusted measurement data to perform statistical process control (SPC), tracking real-time performance, detecting variation, and driving continuous improvement across production lines.

How They Work Together

Together, GAGEpack and SQCpack help manufacturers:

  • Avoid using out-of-calibration gages in SPC analysis
  • Ensure measurement data used for compliance and quality decisions is fully traceable
  • Eliminate gaps between device management and process monitoring

Advantive delivers actionable, problem-solving software solutions for specialty manufacturers and wholesale distributors that simplify processes, optimize performance, and increase revenues.

FAQ

Common questions about SQCpack

Don't see your question? Ask the team.

How does SQCpack differ from InfinityQS Enact or ProFicient?

SQCpack is purpose-built for statistical process control analysis at facilities that want a focused, right-sized SPC tool without the full InfinityQS platform footprint. It is particularly suited to mid-market manufacturers running fewer simultaneous sites. InfinityQS Enact and ProFicient are cloud and on-premise options for operations requiring enterprise-wide multi-plant rollup and deeper plant-floor automation.

What chart types does SQCpack support?

SQCpack includes Xbar-R, Xbar-S, Individuals (I-MR), CUSUM, EWMA, p-chart, np-chart, c-chart, and u-chart, plus histogram, Pareto, and capability plots. Chart selection can be configured per characteristic or product family.

How does SQCpack connect to GAGEpack?

SQCpack and GAGEpack form a closed-loop quality system. GAGEpack manages calibration schedules and traceability for every measurement device; SQCpack then uses data from those certified devices for SPC analysis. Together they ensure measurement data used for compliance and quality decisions is fully traceable.

What compliance standards does SQCpack support?

SQCpack includes audit-ready records and reporting templates aligned to ISO 9001, IATF 16949, AS9100, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Certificate of Analysis outputs can be customized per customer or standard.

Can SQCpack accept data from existing spreadsheets or legacy systems?

Yes. SQCpack imports from Excel, SQL databases, and direct gauge interfaces (CMMs, handheld tools). Manual data entry is also supported. The data source can vary by characteristic within the same part number.

Is implementation handled by Advantive or by a partner?

Advantive provides direct implementation services for all brands. A named implementation lead is assigned at kickoff and stays with the project through go-live. Partner-led implementations are available for select brands when a customer prefers an existing systems integrator.

How does this product connect to Advantive ONE?

Advantive ONE extends each brand with cross-system intelligence — surfacing patterns across your ERP, MES, quality, and warehouse data. It runs as a layer on top of your product, not a replacement. Customers on a current support contract are eligible.

What does the support contract include?

Standard support covers software updates, the customer portal (knowledge base + ticketing), and the Advantive support team during business hours in your region. Premium tiers add dedicated customer success, extended SLA coverage, and 24/7 critical-incident response.
