Introduction

aggQC is the premier aggregate quality control and process information management system available today.  aggQC includes many analysis and reporting tools to help you improve your product consistency for customers.  aggQC supports many state agency reporting requirements eliminating double-entry of data saving both time and money. Our desktop, server, enterprise, and hosted software solutions easily scale from the single plant operators to the largest producers.  Our server, enterprise, and hosted editions are centrally managed for real-time analysis and reporting.  Automated features include email alerts on quality failures and automatic data analysis and reports that can be generated and emailed daily, weekly, or monthly.  Automated analysis and reporting saves time and money by allowing quality managers to focus on quality rather than spending hours to compile reports for sales and operations personnel.

• Automated Data Entry from GradexTM Mechanical Particle Size Analyzers
• Automated Date Entry from WipWareTM Video Particle Size Analyzers
• Automatic email alerts on quality failures
• Immediate visual notification of quality failures
• Data validation
• Evaluate results against mulitple specifications
• Security features to limit and control use of the data entry form
• Mark gradation and worksheets as completed
• Find incomplete tests using the incomplete test search tool
• Attach external documents to samples
• Associate customers and jobs with samples
• Associate location information (x,y,z) coordinates with samples
• Pair quality assurance samples with an original sample for sample comparison analysis

Powerful and Quick Analysis

aggQC provides 24 different analysis tools all designed to provide you unique and detailed analysis of product results. Many of the analysis tools are available from the "Quick Tool Bar" icons that provide your technicians easy access to some powerful statistical summary and charting tools. These can be used to assess the performance of current results against historical data, and detect potential issues before they become customer problems. In addition, generating any of the analysis types is simple, because the search form used to find data for various analysis tools is intiutive, simple to learn, and is consistent among similar tools.

        Some frequently used tools are listed below:

• Statistical Summaries - Provides a tabular summary of product gradation, quality, process and other types of results.
• Histograms, Normal Plots - Provides distribution analysis, and testing of normality of results.
• Semi-Log, Power 45, and Individual Retained Charts - Simple charts showing the entire gradation of product sieve results.
• Run Charts, Time-Series Charts - Allows for detection and analysis of trends.
• Multi-variable Charts - Compare process data against gradation or quality data.
• Correlation Charts - Discover relationships between different variables (gradation, quality, processing results).
• Control Charts, Cusum Charts - Robust charts to detect changes in process mean, and / or trends in data.
• Frequency Charts, Frequency Analysis - Used to assess if a product is meeting sampling frequency requirements.
• Product Search Tool - Enter a specification, and find all products that meet that specification at selected plants.
• Aggregate Blending Optimization - Optimize aggregate blending using the automated tools like blend to minimum price, blend to target, or blend to mid-spec.  Optionally, use our powerful drag and drop visual blending tools for semi-log sieve charts, power 45 charts, individual retained charts, and coarseness factor charts.

Professional Reporting

aggQC provides over 50 different professional reports, including support for several state DOT reporting requirements.  The integrated support for multiple state DOT reporting requirements is key to improving staff efficiency by reducing double-entry and hence data entry errors.  Reports are organized into the following sections:

• Sample Reports - Individual sample reports at a selected plant
• Product Reports- Statistical summaries of one or multiple products at a selected plant.
• Plant Reports - Statistical summaries of multiple products at one or multiple plants including key performance indicator reports. Also contains plant note and tonnage reports.
• Customer Reports - Individual sample reports for which customer and job information have been assigned.
• Incident Reports - Individual and summary customer or internal incident reports.
• Setup Reports - Displays basic and detailed aggregate product setup information at a plant.
• Agency Reports - Agency specific reports to support DOT reporting requirements. (AL, FL, GA, IA, IL, MD, NC, OH, OR, PA, SC, VA, WV)

Leverage the Power of Integrated Applications

All of our software products are tightly integrated and designed with a familiar interface to promote ease of use.  aggQC is an integral part of the Stonemont Software Suite and allows users to manage all aspects of aggregate product data.  This aggregate data is then available for use in asphalt and concrete mix design development and aggregate plant flow modeling.  Application integration is extremely important for vertically integrated companies that need real-time access to aggregate product information to adjust asphalt or concrete mixes.  aggQC integration with crusherQC and plantFlow provides users the ability to link aggregate product information with crushers and flow model streams. This provides the ability to validate current flow models against measured production results prior to performing "What If" scenarios.

The Whole Quality Picture

In addition to managing aggregate sample results, aggQC provides additional tools that provide you and your organization a total picture of quality. You can create and mange customer incidents at plants using the customer incident data entry form and the related customer incident reports. You can record daily plant notes, which serve as an electronic journal of activities at the plant.  Plant notes are not limited to quality personnel but can be used by all plant personnel so that all plant activities are recorded in a single place.  You can record tons produced and shipped for either products or plants and then use this information for sampling frequency analysis.

Enterprise customers also enjoy the additional benefit of Automatic Reports, Analysis, and Evaluation tools. These tools are used to automatically generate reports and charts daily, weekly, or monthly and optionally automatically emailed to quality, sales, and operations staff and customers.   All the work is done for you.
