Revolutionizing Shop Efficiency: Unleashing the Power of SPC

Revolutionizing Shop Efficiency Unleashing the Power of SPC

Statistical Process Control (SPC) precision instruments can transform the productivity and accuracy of shops at minimal cost.

In today's fast-paced manufacturing world, efficiency is key. Gone are the days of relying solely on paper logbooks, knife sharpened shop pencils, and outdated data analysis methods. With Statistical Process Control (SPC) precision instruments from leading brands like Starrett, Brown & Sharpe, Tesa, Suburban, Mitutoyo, Fowler, and iGaging, shops can transform their operations and unlock a new level of productivity and accuracy at minimal cost.

SPC empowers shops to monitor and control their processes using statistical methods, ensuring optimal efficiency and quality control. By harnessing the capabilities of SPC-enabled precision instruments, such as electronic calipers, Bluetooth calipers, and outside micrometers, shops can gather real-time data to monitor production, identify areas for improvement, and reduce waste before the end of a production run. This instantaneous information combined with quick reaction and changes to machining set ups has the potential to save hundreds of hours of machinists’ time, raw material costs, cutting tool costs, and the load rate of the machine. With a typical CNC machine having a cost of $125-250 per hour, plus the cost of a machinist, it is not hard to imagine the cost of not being SPC enabled.

Many shops already have SPC-ready instruments within their facilities but may not be using the capabilities at all or fully utilizing their capabilities. With the simple integration of SPC output features, shops can eliminate the guesswork and harness the power of data-driven decision-making. For those shops that have the capability already built into many of the calipers used every hour of production, it is akin to not using the brakes in a car to avoid accidents.

Joining the digital revolution and unlocking the full potential of every machine shop is easy with SPC precision instruments. Say goodbye to paper logbooks and hello to data-driven decision-making. It's time to elevate every shop’s efficiency and precision with SPC and KBC.

KBC sales specialists work with the top industry precision instrument brand representatives to design a full SPC environment for many shops to help improve efficiency, accuracy, and improve profitability on the shop floor.
