Interaction of Q-DAS® Products with SAP QM
The implementation of SAP serves the optimization of central business processes whereas Q-DAS® products provide solutions for a comprehensive, automated observation and statistical evaluation of
measurement and test processes. High flexibility is a major issue within the scope of recording and evaluating quality data. In particular, this flexibility is required in data recording environments that are close to production since the flexibility helps to guide operators through the inspection thoroughly and to detect weaknesses in the process by means of significant graphics and SPC functionalities. By connecting Q-DAS® products to SAP QM, users of both systems are now provided with a complete solution to apply the two products together.
There are several solutions available for the interaction of Q-DAS® products with SAP QM. Depending on the respective requirements, these solutions represent the

basic conditions for the implementation of both systems. However, the different approaches for the interaction of both systems explained in the following are based on the assumption that SAP QM is the leading system and thus responsible for the design of experiments. It requires the transfer of results gained in the conducted inspection in order to ensure consistency. Moreover, the Q-DAS® product O-QIS (operator quality information system) is supposed to record test data since it is an ideal program for operators due to its multitude of integrated measuring and test equipment interfaces. In addition, the evaluation shall be based on the qs-STAT® evaluation strategy.
Approach A: Data Storage and Evaluation with Q-DAS® Products Information on the approachSAP QM is responsible for test planning and generates the respective inspection lot. O-QIS loads the inspection lots on the local recording station via QM IDI interface in order that Q-DAS® products can conduct the inspection according to SAP specifications (test characteristics, amount of inspection…).

completed, the results are transferred from O-QIS to SAP QM. In this case, O-QIS allocates the task to define the intended use to the SAP third-party software. The Q-DAS® database provides the original values of the inspection and thus Q-DAS® products are able to

evaluate them directly without SAP QM.
Advantages• SAP QM is the leading system (complete overview)• No mass data storage in SAP QM• Q-DAS® products offer a flexible evaluation in accordance with national and international standards• Application of standardized interfaces (data recording and data management)• Standard software for test planning, data recording and data evaluation
Approach B: Data Storage and Evaluation with Q-DAS® Products and SAP-STIInformation on the approach Even in this case, SAP QM is responsible for test planning and generates inspection lots. O-QIS loads the inspection lot defining how to conduct the test according to SAP specifications on the local recording station. However, O-QIS transfers the original values back to SAP QM as soon as the inspection lot is completed. The original values are thus available for evaluation in the Q-DAS® database and in SAP QM.

Advantages • SAP QM is the leading system (complete overview)• Q-DAS® products offer a flexible evaluation in accordance with national and international standards• Application of standardized interfaces (data recording and data management)• Standard software for test planning, data recording and data evaluation• Additional evaluation options in SAP QM via SAP STI
Disadvantage• Double data storage of test data (in SAP QM and Q-DAS® software)
Approach C: Data Storage in SAP and Evaluation via SAP STIInformation on the approach The SAP software is once again responsible for test planning and generates inspection lots. O-QIS loads the inspection lot defining how to conduct the test according to SAP specifications on the local recording station. The Q-DAS® database only buffers the test data temporarily until the inspection is completed. O-QIS transfers the original values back to SAP QM as soon as the inspection lot is completed. All test data are deleted from the Q-DAS® database and are only available in SAP QM now.

Advantages • SAP QM is the leading system (complete overview)• Q-DAS® products offer a flexible evaluation in accordance with national and international standards• Application of standardized interfaces (data recording and data management)
Disadvantages• Mass storage in SAP; Q-DAS database only serves as a temporary data buffer• Evaluation only in SAP QM via STI – number of available options is restricted
SummaryEach approach provides a possible solution for the interaction of Q-DAS products and SAP QM. Moreover, there are even more concepts applied by our customers. You may e.g. integrate further SAP subsystems into the overall concept or transfer compressed statistics to SAP QM. We will be pleased to support you in finding a suitable solution.
