VoraControl overview
What VoraControl covers: control plans, inspection capture, SPC trends and out-of-spec follow-up, and how the main menu areas fit together.
VoraControl is the quality control product in VoraSuite: control plans, inspection capture, SPC trends and out-of-spec follow-up. It opens at /control with a Quality and Process Control landing page that shows quality signals computed from your recent submitted measurements, plus a list of items that need attention.
How the pieces connect
Everything in VoraControl hangs off the released control plan. You define characteristics against operations, generate a control plan revision from that source data, and release it. Inspectors then capture measurements against the released plan, each sample carries the specification limits it was judged against, and out-of-spec results hand off to Resolve so the response is recorded next to the signal. Trends, Reports and Management all read from those same capture records.
The main menu areas
- Characteristics: the register of measurement points, each linked to a part and operation with its class, type and tolerance.
- Plan: the plan library, plan rules and revision history. Control plan revisions are generated from source data and exported or printed from here.
- Capture: direct measurement capture against a released plan, with instant in-spec or out-of-spec feedback and a full capture history.
- Gauges / Methods: the gauge register with calibration tracking and MSA studies, plus the inspection method list.
- Resolve: the exception register where out-of-spec results are reviewed, owned, root-caused and closed.
- Trends: SPC signals and Cp/Cpk capability, computed per characteristic from the capture records.
- Reports: management reports over the Resolve exception records, with CSV download and a print view.
- System: SPC settings and page settings.
- Management: a supervisor view of measurement activity, result mix, issue status and needs-attention items.
The landing page signals
The /control landing page shows Process at a glance gauges built from the latest submitted measurements: out-of-spec pressure, possible drift share, capability readiness and data maturity. These are the same figures the Trends dashboard computes, summarized for a quick daily read. If your site has no captures yet, the gauges simply do not appear.
Where to start
A typical setup order is: record your characteristics against their operations, generate and release the control plan, confirm gauges and methods under Gauges / Methods, then start capturing. The other areas fill themselves from the records that capture creates.
What you see in VoraControl depends on your permissions in the active organization and site. If a menu area is missing, ask your administrator to review your access under VoraCore Team.
