Global Interface (Powerful tool for global markets)

MultilingualSupport (ANSI)

  • Pre-programmed for users to select among 11 different languages. Select a language of choice with just a few mouse clicks.

  • Manage your data across 30 international languages simultaneously as needed.  You no longer need to manage different data files to share data across global teams.  Now translate your data automatically with links to DEEPL, Microsoft Translate, or Reverso.

Unicode

  • Language support is inclusive of uni-code character-based languages in the PRO levels of the IQ-Software.

IQ Explorer Search Capabilities

  • Modify data in any editor (e.g., FMEA) and know it is updated in all other relevant views (Control Plan, Process Flow) automatically!

  • Manage your customer and program variants simultaneously without resorting to separate data files for each.​

Document Management

Data Centered

  • Focus on a stepwise process to develop an interrelated data-set. Deliverables become the result of careful engineering analysis rather than simple documentation. ​​​

Read Across

  • Conduct comprehensive searches within the current file or across several programs/applications.

  • Locate any data you need.  “If you can state your data search needs in a sentence, APIS ® IQ-Software can easily deliver those results.”

Data Import and Export

Standard External Formats

  • Support for standard external formats, including Excel(r) and XML, for reading/writing data.

  • Data import functionality designed to easily import your existing FMEA and Control Plans from spreadsheet programs. NEW! Merge your Control Plan to the FMEA during import!

Six Sigma Capabilities

  • Pairwise comparison Editor to achieve relative priority among requirements

  • Linked House-of-Quality matrices to drive design requirements all the way to your Process Characteristics.

Quality Management

Functional Safety (FuSa)

  • ISO-26262 | IEC-61508

  • FMEDA

Monitoring & System Response (MSR) FMEA

  • Analyze your system’s response in operation under customer operating conditions with respect to their technical system effects, vehicle, people, and regulatory compliance.

Administration and Maintenance

Audit Trail

  • Defined access: Access limited to authorized persons only, whereas the assigned role defines the permitted editing authorizations.

  • Computer-generated change log (Audit Trail): Including reasons and signature: Who did what changes and when.

  • Archiving of all revision states (including version control): Only authorized changes are possible and permitted. Only checked-out working versions can be edited. Every working version will be converted into a documentation version in the end, which provides for read-only access.

  • Electronic approval procedure for documentation versions: With electronic signatures (including role, date, and time).

​Backup and Recovery

  • Specify file backups to occur as file save-as copies at defined time intervals. Rolling-list backups are also available.

Offline Work

  • License options exist which allow users to “check-out” licenses and offline work from the company network for a pre-specified amount of time.

User Management (LDAP)

  • Connect to your company LDAP database and populate your team-lists directly.

System Analysis

P Diagram Editor

  • Improve focus on Robust Engineering by including a Parameter Diagram into your DFMEA! Include external “noise factors” into the analysis and drive design attention to how they could drive your product to failure and what the design team could do to mitigate that risk!

Cause and Effect (Fishbone Diagram) Editor

  • Represent and edit failure analysis graphs in the “Fishbone” construct.

Block Diagram​ Editor

  • Import graphical representations of your complex systems and map them directly to the IQ-Data.

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Editor

  • Build Fault-Trees from scratch using the existing failure library of your FMEA data analysis.
  • Or augment existing single-point failure relationships already defined from the FMEA analysis.

Staying Ahead of the Curve

 

The APIS ® IQ-Software has been a leader in the risk management industry for over 30 years! A continuous assessment and incorporation of customer feedback and industry trends has helped to keep the IQ Software ahead of the curve, by offering you deeper analytical insights.
