Integrated CAQ Solution in SAP®

SQM360 accesses the inspection plans already present in SAP and allows their use without additional transfer to external systems. This prevents the need to transfer inspection plans to another system through interfaces or manual data transmission.

In quality assurance, accurate capturing and analysis of quality data play an important role. During a sampling, it is important to recognize trends and process patterns to potentially initiate measures.

SQM360 supports quality assurance through the display of quality control charts, calculation of CPK values, or representation of control or tolerance limits, among other features. These functions help to identify trends and variations in the production process, assess the capability of processes to meet specifications, and indicate when corrective actions are necessary to ensure quality.

In addition to these functions, SQM360 also offers a customizable user interface. Users can customize the display to make important features easily identifiable during an inspection, greatly simplifying quality controls. The ability to add documents and images to each sample improves the documentation and traceability of quality decisions. Photos of measurements directly inserted into the system also enable visual documentation of the inspection and promote transparency of measurement results.

SQM360 thus facilitates decision-making and significantly contributes to proactive quality management.

Thanks to the web-based architecture of SQM360, quality managers and inspectors can flexibly utilize the system – they have access to it from any location and with any device, with the only requirement being an existing internet connection. Whether using a Windows PC, a tablet, or smartphone, SQM360 works directly in the web browser and supports a wide range of device types. This ensures unparalleled flexibility and supports cross-location collaboration in globally interconnected companies.

The efficient data capture and processing enabled by SQM360 within SAP accelerates workflow and enhances the overall efficiency of quality inspection. The SQM360 cloud option also provides a flexible, scalable solution that reduces IT infrastructure costs and greatly simplifies system maintenance and updates.

The integration of our tool BRIDGE into SQM360 also opens up new possibilities for connecting measuring devices to the SAP system. This web-based integration tool facilitates connection with a wide range of measuring instruments, including handheld measuring devices and measuring machines from renowned manufacturers such as Zeiss, Werth, Mitutoyo, Keyence, and many others.

The ability to directly link measuring devices with SAP—an option not offered by SAP as a standard feature—significantly enhances the efficiency of data collection. By automating the transfer of measurement results into SAP Quality Management, BRIDGE, in conjunction with SQM360, provides significant added value by simplifying and speeding up the quality control process.

Data security is paramount in SQM360. Companies want to decide for themselves how and where they manage their data.

In addition to flexible cloud usage, SQM360 also offers the option to implement the system as an on-premise solution. This alternative is particularly beneficial for companies that prefer local data storage for internal or regulatory reasons.

Regardless of the chosen implementation method, at SQM360, we place great importance on data privacy and security. When selecting our cloud partners, we strictly ensure that they comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and operate their servers within Germany.
