"Control Specification" refers to a detailed description of the requirements and criteria used for the inspection or control of a product, facility, or process. These specifications define which parameters or features should be monitored, measured, or tested to ensure that a product meets the required standards or that a process operates correctly.
Typical functions of software in the field of control specification include:
Parameter definition: The software allows for the precise definition and specification of the parameters or features to be monitored or controlled.
Criteria definition: It enables the establishment of criteria or limits to be used for evaluating the parameters to determine if they meet the requirements.
Creation of inspection plans: The software supports the creation of inspection plans or control procedures that specify the sequence and methods for conducting inspections.
Documentation: It enables the documentation of control specifications, inspection records, and results for traceability and compliance purposes.
Integration with measuring devices: The software can integrate with measuring devices or testing equipment to automatically capture measurement data and compare it with the specified criteria.
Notifications and alerts: It provides features for notifying users of deviations from specifications or reaching critical limits.
Analysis and reporting: The software enables the analysis of inspection results and the generation of reports on compliance with control specifications, as well as the identification of trends or problem areas.
