The latest release of Zontec?s statistical process control (SPC) software is designed to monitor and react to process variation during production and inspection in quality assurance applications. Synergy 2000 version 6.0 supports Six Sigma quality initiatives and is said to be particularly well suited for companies that want to monitor processes at multiple locations in real time.

Release 6.0 makes a number of improvements to simplify program operations and gives users many new chart and report options. New features include Rainbow, EWMA (exponentially weighted moving average) and Poisson EWMA control charts, and box and whisker plots for managers. Serial device interfacing allows two-way I/O using device command strings. Engineering drawings can be viewed in both JPG and PMP format, and control limits for multiple characteristics can be simultaneously calculated. Gage R&R calculations based on Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) measurement systems analysis standards have also been updated.
