Hello Everybody,
For the companies, the technologies have today a fundamental importance in the selection of software tools constituting their Information System and in their development.

 Indeed, many questions arise before to select a CAQM in respect of data processing platform. What type of direction can take?

  • A customer / service solution with user stations under Windows XP, VISTA, ... or with  “Thin stations” by TSE or CITRIX and a data server under Unix, Windows, Linux.
  • Which data base : SQL server, Oracle, Sybase, DB2 ...
  • The processing and consultation outstation are necessary implicating the choice of  “web” or VPN type ...
  • It is necessary to choose the workshop stations with a wifi link, bar codes, touch interfaces, and “PC pockets” ...

And if you add the interrogations about the development of your company like :
  • The international rollout, the consolidation questions of results and indicators, as well as the problematic of language.
  • A movil population that need informations in real time
  • What services are necessary to answer my users...

All these problematics must find answer in your data processing department,  if you have one, and especially with your  QUASAR Solutions information provider, thanks to its appraisal in order to better answer to your project and strategy !

We are your partner !
Henry Romagny

A new experience: go south!

A new experience for our consultant Christophe !

For one year, we have promoted our products in Northern Africa countries. Being in charge of this project, I  have became fond of travels. But beware: even for the sunny weather, it is all about the business, not holidays!

Paysage TunisienWe set appointments and perform numerous demonstrations. All of this has paid off as we jus set up our first client in Morocco, A2S company.

Usually, targeted companies manage their core business through Excel or Access. Thanks to our presentations, our contacts understand quickly what we can do for them: provide dependable data for everyone inside their company and create appropriate indicators in an adaptable and user-friendly way.

For this first project, I have worked along with QMS (Quality, Methods and Services), our local dealer. Since 1999, QMS helps company managers to improve on several topics: production management, logistics, industrial organisation and maintenance. They help companies to create their processes, a capital first step towards continuous improvement. They also manage software integration for their clients, particulary on our solutions. In a near future, we will teeach QMS people so they will be able to run projects on their own.

But our Northern Africa  project is not limited to Morocco. Other experiences are under way in Algeria and Tunisia. We will give you an extended coverage about these in our newsletter’ next issue as it will be fully dedicated to our overseas projects. A sunny taste of upcoming holidays!

The Q4 general concepts are concentrated on the ergonomics : simplification of the product, more easy browser, integration of last technologies. 
The immediate effects have a big flexibility, an increased effectiveness. But the Q4 go further ! Making a zoom on the metrology modules and not-conformities.

Metrology :
  • The QS-METRO module makes it possible to carry out the capabilities sets for the measurable characteristics and in attribute mode (“good/not good”mode), by following the aspects as the legibility of a screen or the good state of the measuring device for example, with an incidence on the life sheet.
  • Inspection report management in automatic
  • The calculation of the real tolerances of a measuring device makes it possible to verify that the considered inspection facility could carry out all waited inspections on a particular products. 
  • The concept of instruments chaining makes it possible to manage a benchmarking like a whole, while checking the different parts of the unit and by consolidating the results.
  • Consolidation of means list necessary to an inspection while checking the statute of each..

Not-conformities :
  • The creation of a link between QS-NC/AC and QS-RECEPTION : When a not-conformity is detected  at the time of an incoming inspection, the declaration is ready to be used to create the action plan.
  • Improvement of cost management linked to not-quality.

An appointment for 2008

In the SIMODEC (International screw-cutting industry event) which saw its participants growing in 11%, QUASAR presented the version 4, integrating the functions in touch mode for the SPC / MSP, for the indicators of productivity OEE
and the functions of TPM type (maintenance of first level), toolings management…
and only one station and the same simplified ergonomics for the operators.

But this first 2008 event, once more aroused some interrogations.
In spite of annonced increase of visiteur, we was disappointed by the number of participants.  A lot of conferences were cancelled !
Stand Salon Simodec 2008Then, should we stop the events and focus our work on internet, for example ?
Or maybe should we to practice the events in other way while creating the event on a large scale ?
As many subjects which we questioned.
After think about this, we going turned toward the first option.

Like this, Quasar Solutions will be present in some events in Tunisia and Morocco in the frame of our Maghreb project.  In france, we will be present in 2008 only in the Expoqualita event in Annecy on next October.

Finally, last information, at the occasion of a DMS integration in Quasar suite, we will participate in VDOC day.
