CAQ-SOFTWARE
Produce quality and ensure it digitally
Quality is created in the process.
Computer-Aided Quality (CAQ) ensures that it becomes transparent and controllable exactly where it matters.
What it’s about
Methods and systems of quality management are established in many companies.
Requirements are defined, inspections are carried out in production, and results are documented. These individual measures work on their own.
The challenge arises in how they interact.
Planning, production, and analysis do not always work together seamlessly.
Produce quality
Quality as an inherent part of production emerges when three levels work together within the CAQ system:
Only through this connection does quality become an integral part of production—not as an outcome, but as a lived process.
Role of CAQ
CAQ is more than just capturing a few measurement values.
It connects quality requirements, operational processes, the evaluation of results with actions and feedback.
Its effectiveness comes from this interaction—not from individual functions.
Standards and Practice
CAQ systems support companies in implementing key quality standards and frameworks such as IATF 16949, VDA/AIAG, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, or EN 9100.
Despite differing requirements, they share a common goal:
to effectively plan, control, document, and improve quality.
CAQ software supports this, among other things, through:
- Documentation and traceability
- Reliable, audit-ready, and revision-proof data
- Consistent application of roles and permissions
- Risk management (e.g., FMEA, CAPA)
- Continuous improvement (PDCA)
- Supplier and process monitoring
Standards define the framework. The impact is created through their application.
The Bottleneck
Many systems represent individual aspects very well. However, the connection between them often remains fragmented.
Requirements are known and defined. Their consistent implementation throughout the process is more challenging.
Interlinking
Planning impacts the process. The process generates data. This data is evaluated and leads to actions. Only this interaction makes quality controllable.
Implementation in Practice
The logic described cannot be implemented independently of the existing system landscape. What matters is how planning, processes, and feedback are connected—both technically and organizationally.
QM.CAQ
Control quality independently—directly on the shop floor
When quality needs to be managed independently of existing ERP systems or specifically embedded in the shop floor, implementation is carried out via our standalone CAQ platform.
It fully represents the quality logic and is seamlessly integrated into existing systems and processes.
QM with SAP
Extending SAP as the leading system for quality
When SAP is used as the leading system, implementation is carried out through a targeted extension of the existing structure.
SAP remains the central system, while additional components enable operational execution directly within the process.
