Q-Pulse PM offers out of the box functionality designed for the needs of today’s manufacturers.
- Manage product data created and used in the manufacturing process
- Reduce risks in new product introduction or development
- Minimise tedious manual processes
- Meet customer requirements consistently
- Reduce time and cost of creating common reports including first article inspection, PPAP and device master records.
Features
Product lifecycle workflow & project management.
Manufacturing process planning & inspection.
Product requirement management.
Supply chain collaboration.
Part submission warrant creation.
Integration with digital manufacturing tools (CMM).
Notification of at risk tasks.
If you have a specific aspect that you need to focus on these tools are available stand-alone. It is straight forward to integrate additional apps within our PLM system as your needs develop.
Q-Pulse FAIR mistake-proofs and reduces the cost of producing the First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) used to validate that a product has been manufactured to the correct specification. Minimise tedious manual processes that often lead to mistakes.
- Product requirement management
- Optical character recognition (OCR)
- Non-conformance report generation, linked to Q-Pulse QMS
- Visual mistake proofing identifies missing information and out of tolerance results
- Automatic population of AS9102B & other inspection form templates
Q-Pulse NPI is a customisable workflow app used by manufacturers to establish and manage a gated process for implementing new parts or assemblies. The simple but powerful project management tool helps reduce risk and supports collaborative work between departments and supply chain partners.
- Assign responsibility to tasks, manage deadlines and escalations
- Look forward visibility of completion and individual workload
- Task level messaging and discussion
- Web portal access for task management, project visibility and supply chain collaboration
Q-Pulse PPAP streamlines the process of proving your production process is reliable and meets design requirements. Whether required for new parts or to account for changes to existing product lines, Q-Pulse PPAP helps you manage the entire document compilation process efficiently and effortlessly.
- Project management with customisable workflows
- Create process flow diagram, FMEA and control plan within app
- Set lead times and be notified of tasks at risk
- Libraries for quick population
- Output professional PPAP report ready for customer to review
- Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
"We realised the benefits of the system within the first week. It was a great investment. Our Inspectors were spending 8 hours plus, on average, on a full FAIR for the customer. With Q-Pulse FAIR we’ve been able to reduce that down to one hour in some cases."

Product Lifecycle Stages
Sharing product data (Product Data Management- PDM) across different departments, and the supply chain, for the life of the product is the basic fundamental of product lifecycle management (PLM). PLM is more than software – it’s a strategic business approach that achieves:
- Faster time to market
- Better collaboration between Design, Engineering, Manufacturing and Customer Support
- Supply chain visibility and assurance, and most importantly
- Profitability
