Prolink are dedicated to providing an entire suite of easy-to-use software solutions to address and automate the data collection and quality analysis tasks performed throughout any organisation.
The History of Prolink
Prolink was founded in 1983 as an automated software company, providing a multitude of technologies to automate the collection, reporting and analysis of data from the entire shopfloor, all in one place.
Prolink’s original software solution was QC-CALC, a software program that captured data from a single brand of vision measuring machine and produced Statistical Process Control (SPC) reports. QC-CALC’s success led to it becoming integrated with a wide variety of measuring machines, including CMMs and other metrology systems.
Within the last 15 years the Prolink product portfolio has expanded to include enterprise-wide data collection and visualisation products, including the industry’s first browser-based SPC visualisation product – QC-Mobile.
Prolink has continued to expand their capabilities and can now collect data from over 300 different metrology systems, as well as integrating into other stages of the production process to provide a complete manufacturing overview.
