Catch the drift
before it becomes scrap.
XBlade turns the readings from your gauges, machines, and vision systems into live control charts, capability studies, and rule-based alarms — so your team acts on a process that's shifting, not a part that's already bad.
- IATF 16949 / AIAG aligned
- OPC UA & MQTT
- Multi-site rollouts

Built on the standards your auditors already use
One platform · from gauge to boardroom
Collect. Analyze. Act.
Replace fragmented spreadsheets, isolated SPC tools, and disconnected gauge software with one connected platform purpose-built for quality.
Collect from any source
Stream readings from hand gauges, CMMs, vision systems, and PLCs over OPC UA, MQTT, REST, and serial. Manual entry and 100%-automated inspection feed the same statistical model.
Analyze with statistical rigor
Variables and attributes charts, Western Electric & Nelson rules, capability (Cp, Cpk, Pp, Ppk), and Gauge R&R / MSA — computed live as each subgroup forms.
Act before scrap happens
Rule-based alarms reach the right operator, supervisor, or engineer — with reaction plans, root-cause workflow, and a signed, timestamped audit trail for every disposition.
A model built for traceability
Every reading knows exactly where it came from
XBlade is built on a clean spine — site to reading — so a single number traces all the way back to the part, the feature, the gauge, and the machine state that produced it.
- 1 Site Plant or division
- 2 Line Production line
- 3 Workstation A specific cell or op
- 4 Part The part & revision being made
- 5 Characteristic The measurable feature (the "key")
- 6 Readings Timestamped measured values
Connected at every node
Hanging off the spine are the things that make a number defensible — limits, the measurement system behind it, and what happened when a rule tripped.
Specifications & limits
USL / LSL, nominal, target — from the drawing.
Control limits
UCL / CL / LCL — computed, and versioned over time.
Gauges & MSA
Calibration, Gauge R&R, bias, linearity, stability.
Events & dispositions
Out-of-control events, causes, signed sign-offs.
Full result traceability. Spec limits, control limits, and capability stay separate and versioned — so a historical event always reaches the exact limit that was live when it happened.
Designed around how quality actually works
From the gauge in a hand to the KPI on a screen
Operators
Touch-friendly entry, in-line tolerance feedback, and a clear reaction prompt the moment a rule trips — no SPC degree required.
Quality & metrology engineers
Drill into shifts and capability loss across part, feature, machine, shift, and operator. Validate the gauge with built-in MSA, not just the part.
Plant & corporate leadership
Roll up scrap, FTQ, capability, and on-time inspection across lines, plants, and regions — one consistent picture, live.
Catch drift, not just defects
Western Electric & Nelson rule detection on streaming data surfaces shifts, trends, and stratification before they ever cross spec.
Audit-ready by design
Every reading, edit, and acknowledgment is signed and timestamped — aligned to IATF 16949, AIAG, and VDA expectations.
Validate the measurement
Built-in Gauge R&R, bias, linearity, and stability studies keep your measurement system honest — so you trust the number.
One picture across every site
Compare the same part, feature, or process across plants and regions with consistent definitions and limits — true multi-tenant by design.
Architecture
Edge to cloud, without the integration project
A lightweight edge layer collects and buffers at the line. The statistical engine sits in between. The browser workspace handles visualization and governance — nothing to install for the people using it.
Edge
Devices & broker
Gauges, PLCs, CMMs, and vision publish to an on-site MQTT broker.
Engine
Statistical engine
Forms time-windowed subgroups, computes capability, evaluates rules.
Workspace
Browser workspace
Live charts, reports, alarms, and governance — in any browser.
