Statistics and Audit Trail: VVLynx and Q-DAS

VVLynx

VICIVISION process analysis software solutions connect optical measuring systems with the entire manufacturing ecosystem, enabling structured management of dimensional data and inspection information generated throughout the quality control process.

These solutions centralize, monitor, and leverage measurement data, transforming it into actionable insights for quality assurance, process optimization, and continuous improvement of manufacturing performance.

VVLynx enables VICIVISION systems to communicate with PLCs, robots, and industrial automation platforms using standard protocols such as PROFINET and PROFIBUS.

Acting as the interface between the optical measuring machine and the factory infrastructure, VVLynx exchanges commands, monitors system status, and transfers dimensional data securely and efficiently. This allows dimensional inspection to become an integral part of automated production workflows, improving operational continuity and ensuring seamless data exchange across manufacturing systems.

The Tool Loop module, integrated into the VVLynx framework, automatically compensates machine tool offsets based on measurement results.

The system acquires dimensional data, compares the measured values with predefined targets, and automatically calculates the offset corrections to be sent to the CNC machine.

As a result, dimensional inspection goes beyond detecting non-conforming parts. It actively stabilizes the manufacturing process by keeping production as close as possible to the center of the tolerance range. This leads to tighter process control, reduced scrap, improved machining consistency, and higher overall production efficiency.

Key modules

  • STAT PIPE for centralized collection and analysis of dimensional measurement data.

  • NETWORK I/O for communication with industrial automation systems and external equipment.

Audit Trail

The Audit Trail module provides complete traceability of all activities performed within VICIVISION systems.

Every relevant operation is automatically recorded, creating a comprehensive audit log that identifies who performed an action, when it was executed, and what changes were made.

The audit trail covers key activities such as the creation and modification of measurement programs, execution of inspection cycles, and management of system configurations.

By maintaining secure, tamper-proof records, the Audit Trail module supports regulatory compliance, strengthens operational control, and ensures full transparency throughout the dimensional inspection process.
