Introducing Quality Window 6.1
Quality Window 6.1 is a major step forward in how quality systems operate—moving beyond data collection into real-time control, enforcement, and automated reporting.
This release is designed to help teams respond faster, reduce manual work, and standardize processes across production environments.
Turn Quality Rules into Enforceable Workflow
Quality Window 6.1 transforms Rules and Alarms from passive notifications into active process control.
- Require acknowledgment before continuing data entry
- Capture corrective actions at the moment issues occur
- Clearly distinguish between informational and action-required alarms
- Trigger real-time email notifications per event
- Maintain full alarm history for audit and traceability
This ensures issues are addressed immediately—not discovered later in reports.
Built-In Report & COA Generation
A major addition in 6.1 is a fully integrated document generation system.
- Generate Certificates of Analysis (COAs), Word, and PDF reports directly from Quality Window
- Eliminate mail merge and external reporting tools
- Reuse standardized templates across applications
- Support advanced formatting, images, and structured tables
Advanced capabilities include:
- Conditional logic for dynamic documents
- Custom properties for consistent output
- Support for macro-enabled Word documents (.docm)
This introduces a complete reporting layer inside the platform—reducing manual effort and improving consistency.
Faster, More Responsive Performance
6.1 includes core improvements to performance and scalability:
- Faster application and view load times
- Improved responsiveness during large operations
- Optimized behavior in network environments
- New background processing service to offload system tasks
The result is smoother operation in real-world production environments.
Improved Data Entry & Operator Experience
Enhancements focused on reducing operator error and increasing efficiency:
- Auto-resizing data entry layouts
- Clear prompts for average data entry
- Disabled controls during save to prevent duplicate actions
- Context-aware data entry when using Views
These improvements help standardize data entry and reduce mistakes on the floor.
More Control Over Views & Workflows
Better clarity and control when working with Views:
- Clear distinction between “Load” and “Preview” actions
- Combined Save and Load for faster workflows
- Restrictions that prevent invalid data entry in unsaved states
- Improved tools for organizing variables and statistics
Expanded Integration & Automation
Greater flexibility for integrating with external systems:
- View-based data collection using automation tools
- Improved input/output configuration
- Better alignment with OPC and DataHub integrations
- Excel importer improvements for secure environments
Upgrade from Quality Window 5 with Confidence
Quality Window 6.1 fully supports Quality Window 5 data formats, allowing you to upgrade without data migration.
- Open and manage existing QW5 applications directly
- Maintain compatibility during transition
- Gradually adopt new capabilities without disruption
