Photo Processors Quality Control          

 

BARBIERI QC-Xpert

In-house Quality Control. Nothing can avoid wastage better and faster.

With QC-Xpert there is no time lag in eliminating errors. You don’t have to send control strips to a centre and so lose time. You don’t have to transmit measurement values to a processing centre and so lose time. In both these cases you are left in the dark until you are notified of the results and much can happen in that time. In-house control puts you immediately in the picture and thus you always have complete control of your quality. With QC-Xpert no sooner have you measured the strip than the diagnostics is delivered, enabling you to act without delay. So QC-Xpert soon pays for itself just by avoiding waste and remakes.

Features

·        Your advantage: Satisfied customers through high quality

Consistently high quality creates confidence.

Irreparable defects such as may occur with the E-6-process will upset your customers, not to mention the cost of repeat work and missed deadlines. But what about the loss in confidence in your lab by these disappointed customers? In the long run this will cost you more than the additional materials. Your reputation is the most important factor in gaining new customers because we all know that personal endorsement is the best salesman. Consistent high quality gives increasing customer satisfaction and this will yield more business from existing customers and attract new business. This can soon be translated into profit which quickly pays for the investment in QC-Xpert.

·        EASY TO USE: Step by step instructions

Diagnostic Software which tells you what to do first, thanks to Fuzzy Logic.

This is the truly revolutionary feature of QC-Xpert, for it is the first system to use fuzzy logic for evaluating sensitometric deviations of control strips. This is the big advantage. Before this revolutionary program you were alone and did not know where to start. You had to find out for yourself, what to do first. QC-Xpert tells you, where to start to eliminate errors. It guides you step-by-step through procedures. So you can bring your process in line without delay. QC-Xpert makes diagnostics more reliable, saving time, materials and money.
