CAQ System for Industry & Manufacturing

Yes, our CAQ system supports compliance with all common quality management standards and norms. This includes, among others, EN/ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 13485, and VDA 6.3. The integrated modules and functions allow for norm-compliant documentation, evidence, and audit requirements. This ensures that your company meets the necessary standards through a CAQ system that can be flexibly adapted to industry-specific requirements.

The solvtec CAQ system offers various licensing models, with the floating license being the most popular among our customers. Licensing is module-based, so companies only purchase the functions they actually use. At the same time, the module-based licensing allows for practical and flexible allocation, meaning not every user necessarily requires their own license. Costs can be controlled, and you can deploy the CAQ system exactly where it currently provides the greatest added value.

Once you have decided on the CAQ system, we begin the installation and training together directly at your site. After that, we gradually integrate the system into your processes, supported by solvtec, over approximately 3 to 6 months. This ensures a coordinated, well-planned, and sustainable implementation.

To ensure you are fully confident before making a decision, solvtec follows this approach:

• Recording your requirements and expectations to precisely understand what you need.
• On-site visit to comprehensively capture your processes and the conditions within your company.
• Presentation of the actual software using a simulated process from your company.
• Preparation of a customized offer tailored to your needs, with a practical project scaling.
• Preliminary clarification of system requirements with your IT department to ensure a smooth implementation.

This way, you can be confident that your processes can be fully mapped in the solvtec CAQ system.

In the solvtec CAQ system, all data is stored directly on the company’s servers. No cloud solutions or foreign data centers are used, largely eliminating security and data protection concerns. The software is installed centrally on the customer’s servers and distributed from there to all clients. Additionally, an internal terminal server solution is supported to provide flexible and secure access. This way, you retain full control over your company data while ensuring the security of sensitive quality information.

solvtec provides extensive interfaces to seamlessly integrate your quality processes into existing systems:

• Bidirectional ERP interface: Import of master data, orders, and complaints, as well as export of order completions and feedback
• Connection of measuring machines via DFQ or CSV
• Integration of measuring instruments via Steinwaldboxes or Bluetooth
• Automated stamping of characteristics via elias InfraConvert
• Export of measurement results to Q-DAS QS-stat
• Optional test equipment maintenance with Q-DAS solara

Yes, our CAQ system is available in German and English by default. Additional languages can be added at any time using integrated translation catalogs, which we import for you. Many of our customers already use the system in languages such as Czech, Polish, Hungarian, or Romanian. This makes the CAQ system ideal for internationally active manufacturing companies.

Our CAQ system includes over 20 specialized modules covering all levels of quality management, from strategic planning and operational production to complaints and improvement management. Key functions include:

• Digital inspection planning for efficient quality pre-planning
• SPC analyses for statistical process control
• MSA-supported test equipment management for reliable measurement results
• Machine and tool maintenance to reduce downtime
• APQP for structured project planning
• FMEA according to AIAG-VDA for risk analysis
• Control Plan (CP) / Production Control Plan (PLP)
• Process workflows for transparent operations
• Safety through PPAP, PPF, FAI, or AS9102 for initial sampling
• 8D reports and CAPA for structured problem-solving
• Audits according to VDA 6.3

The modules can be implemented step by step. This allows companies to start exactly where the greatest need exists and expand the system with additional functions as required.

As a user of the solvtec CAQ system, you benefit from a comprehensive training program that guides you confidently through all functions of our software. In addition, our direct technical support is available via email and phone—without waiting queues or cumbersome ticket systems. This ensures you receive fast and straightforward assistance, allowing your quality processes to run smoothly.

Yes, the solvtec CAQ system includes a web module that makes selected processes accessible on all devices. For example, you can carry out tests, actions, or audits directly on site and manage your quality processes flexibly and efficiently—regardless of location or device.

Yes, the solvtec CAQ system features a seamlessly integrated AI that can assist your users as needed. For example, it can create documents or generate complex data structures to help streamline your daily work. Automated decisions for critical tasks are not handled by the AI; these always remain under your control, ensuring you retain full oversight of your quality processes.
