GainSeeker Suite
What it is
GainSeeker Suite is Hertzler’s self-hosted Windows statistical process control system for manufacturers. It collects and analyzes production data, creates reports and charts, identifies trends, and supports process optimization through modular functionality. The Charts module produces SPC, DMS, and OEE charts, while the suite supports OEE calculation, downtime tracking, loss analysis, real-time monitoring, and quality tracking. Connections are available for digital gages, scales, CMM and vision systems, IoT sources, MES and EQMS systems, ERP systems, and SharePoint. Existing integration scripts can be tailored, and Python scripts can extend integrations. Version 10.2.2 adds an AI Analyst dashboard control and an option to send SPC and DMS statistics to an AI engine chosen by the user. GainSeeker is designed for organizations wanting control over data location. Workstations require Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and 4.8. Hertzler recommends Microsoft SQL Server Express for new deployments and no longer recommends MySQL. HertzlerNet includes business-hours phone and email support, updates, tune-ups, and expert guidance; new purchases include a 90-day warranty.
