Software Solution for Planning, Administration, Documentation and Analysis of Skills Training for Your Staff

Who is allowed, able or required to perform which task in the scope of his position?

What training is available to which employee at what time?

Training and qualification questions are no longer an issue with Qualify.Net®!

Qualify.Net® allows you to easily plan, organize, document and evaluate staff training. Schedules for necessary training are quickly and simply generated and clearly presented. Course materials can be printed, including place cards if necessary.

Create a simple matrix to define which instructors or workers can deliver the necessary instruction or teach Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). The employees’ qualifications are thus catalogued.

Are you searching for the perfect employee who has mastered a specific task? One click and you have, at a glance, the complete requirement criteria for that person. Qualify.Net® not only manages qualification and certification documentation, but it also notifies you in advance when an employee is due for a recertification.

If a training-dependent operating procedure is redefined or revised with the QBD.Net® module, a training requirement for all affected employees and roles will automatically be generated and reported to the responsible parties through Qualify.Net®, giving our clients the utmost consistency.

Scheduling at a Glance – Cost and Time Savings

If a training-dependent operating procedure is redefined or revised with the QBD.Net® module, a training requirement for all affected employees and roles will automatically be generated and reported to the responsible parties through Qualify.Net®, giving our clients the utmost consistency.

Mail.Net® handles the task of inviting all employees to training events, and JobControl.Net® makes sure that each employee is reminded of his or her appointments in a timely manner. Lay out your annual plan for education and training, and invite the appropriate personnel with the same “target qualifications” to the event date. Planning has never been simpler, clearer or more cost effective.

Cost Overview

For a given qualification or training course, the estimated cost and time requirement for each participant can be established. When you offer a training session, the actual values for all setpoints (e.g., date, cost, duration, participants or instructor) are recorded and are therefore available for individual analysis. This way you always have access to the training budget.

Performance Review

Lay out your annual plan for education and training, and invite the appropriate personnel with the same “target qualifications” to the event date.

Create personal profile reports – which employee has the technical ability, or who is available to perform a specific task? Which employee is best suited to develop the new product?

Monitor annual safety reviews, as well as medical screenings. No matter what performance measure it at stake, with Qualify.Net® you are always up to date with the qualifications of your employees. Determine the latest qualification status of a department at a moment’s notice. Recognize potential setbacks early on by comparing training plans with requirements planning. A training course does not necessarily result in the acquisition of the required skills!

With Qualify.Net® you will receive not only quali­fication status but also proof of competence in the form of an effectiveness assessment. After successful participation you will also receive the required documentation on completed staff training, including student and teacher evaluations.

Proof of or Requalification in Training, Qualification, Competence, Aptitude

No matter what certification or documentation is involved – forklift operator license, routine medical screening of employees, or the next CAQ AG user workshop – in order to technically, methodically, and socially fill a position, job or role in a company, you need the right skills. To manage, test or organize them, you have the perfect support – Qualify.Net®. With Qualify.Net® you improve the quality of your products and processes and thereby increase customer satisfaction.

Trained Employees = Higher Productivity

Licensing Models

Flexible Licensing Models – Optimized to Fit Your Company’s Needs ... small or corporate business licenses

Cost-Effective Quality – Right from the Start

CAQ AG Factory Systems supports you in your company development not only with modular software but also accompanies you in your path to economic success. Many great ideas started as isolated solutions – CAQ AG Factory Systems started there as well. Our company has contributed considerably to technological and economic success with its unbeatable value in software tools. Growth and volume – goals of any state-of-the-art company – and varying demands on modern IT systems challenge us as software providers too. We would like to accompany you on this path and offer flexible and inexpensive licensing solutions with our license types SBL (small business license) and CBL (corporate business license), designed to fit your organizational demands.

Transparency and Fairness Create Confidence in Planning

Both licensing types share transparency and pricing fairness – we make it possible for you to perform secure planning in quality and effective production management through our clear and easy to understand policy. In this way you avoid unpleasant economic surprises and secure your economic existence. Of course a change to another licensing model is always possible.

Overview of Highlights

Small Business License

The right licensing type for location-dependent installations. This model is, of course, network-ready right from the first user. Licensing is done according to the number of simultaneous software access – no matter how many total users your system has. This allows for highest flexibility at a great price, right from the start. It does not matter whether you are using the system to solve specialized measuring tasks, for an audit acquisition on a notebook, or for fully integrated network licenses with unlimited access rights. With SBL you have your system and costs under complete control.

Corporate Business License

The licensing type of choice for location-independent access to our quality, environmental, and production management solutions. You can measure our performance by comparing it to what is technologically possible – we can provide you with the right system to fit your IT needs and organizational structures for a state-of-the-art quality, environmental, and production management. No matter whether you are using Citrix MetaFrame® or Terminal Server® technology, decentralized servers, or the latest Internet and .Net technology; whether decentralized usage of our solutions or global online access to your company and quality data: With the corporate business licensing model we can guarantee that costs stay at a minimum even for large-scale installations.

You always keep an overview over current operating expenses and future investments. Licensing is done according to simultaneous database access with unlimited users – this ensures the highest flexibility and accessibility with an exactly determined number of needed licenses – leading to optimally utilized investments and highest profits! Without hidden costs and business tricks, we offer you, comprehensibly and transparently, that of which we at CAQ AG Factory Systems are especially proud: We guarantee our performance, and you can rely on us financially!



Industry-Specific Solutions

Ranging from the Automotive Manufacturing Industry and Suppliers to Service Providers

What does a manufacturer of semi conductors have in common with a manufacturer of agricultural machines?

Admittedly, even we cannot come up with much right off the bat. However, both types of manufacturers are satisfied customers of CAQ AG Factory Systems, and both distinguish themselves in their relentless pursuit to produce quality products. They share a commitment to satisfy the highly specialized demands of their customers. We have gained valuable insights from our day-to-day practical applications: The only thing that remains constant is the diversity of our customers.

The Modular Principle

One of CAG AG Factory Systems’ principles has always been: Nobody should have to buy things that they don’t need. That’s why we developed a modular system with which you can choose only those products that exactly meet your demands and needs. This means that you get the highest possible flexibility and the maximum possible planning security with your valuable software investment. But that’s not all.

We get daily feedback that communicates how high the desire for precisely defined and industry-specific detail is. We have therefore decided to respond even further to your specific wishes and develop industry-specific solutions. For you this means: In the future you will receive a product that is even more adaptable, free of features that have no application in your type of industry, but loaded with other features geared toward your industry-specific quality demands, quality characteristics and procedures.

Our software covers simple language regulations, specialized and specific inspection methods, and industry-geared testing and evaluation procedures. You will find the perfect combination of reliability and proven quality in our standard software, expanded and supplemented to cover exact industry-specific characteristics which render you and your business unique.

More than Theory and Pressing Buttons!

Workshops offer more than dry theory or obtuse software training and button-pressing. Instead, they feed off of dialogs between instructors and participants. After all, some simple problems that you have already solved, may still be causing headaches for other participants. Contacts are established between participants that extend beyond the workshops. This results in wide-spread and sustainable networking between you and other users, GFQ Akademie GmbH instructors, and CAQ AG Factory Systems. Everyone profits from this!

A wealth of experience spanning industry sectors combined with user workshops designed to address your specific business concerns will help you optimize and expand your organizational and technical processes. The state-of-the-art multi-media training center in Rheinböllen with its individualized instruction and the latest in training and instructional materials offers you an optimal learning environment to achieve qualifications successfully! GFQ Akademie, in collaboration with CAQ AG Factory Systems, are responsible for planning, organization, and implementation of user workshops – this translates into state-of-the-art and field-tested training and continued education!

Flexibility through an Edge in Technology

State-of-the-Art Solutions that Integrate Seamlessly into Your IT Environment

Advancement in Technology as a Premise and a Site for Opportunity

The world of IT-systems has earned a reputation for constantly producing hypes and trends. Software and hardware outdo each other in superlatives and scope of performance.

What is considered state-of-the-art today may be an old hat tomorrow. And what about the day after tomorrow...? Especially in today’s day and age it is important to find a systems provider who has an overview over developments and devotes time and resources exclusively to follow up on technological trends which are picked up by the market and which promise to deliver long-lasting investment security. As a systems partner of well-known ERP/PPS/MES companies, as a development partner of database manufacturers, and as a partner of Microsoft, we operate on the cutting edge of technological development. With our more than 25 years of experience we observe trends in methods, technology, hardware, and software – evaluate, consider, invest, or discard trends, so that we can offer you only those which matter: the highest possible security and profitability for all investments into your company’s future!

Customer Use-Value as a Primary Concern – Feasibility Versus Practicality

CAQ AG Factory Systems developers, support staff, and sales associates have made it their responsibility to develop and sell software which is not only based on technological feasibility but also focuses on customer use-value. Practicality is most important; usability and use-value are always weighed against technological feasibility.

„.Net“-Technology – Limits Disappear

For over 20 years we have been accompanying you through the often confusing world of integrated data processing systems. Critical observation of trends and technology are especially important in the area of information technology – we have seen one “milestone” after another come and go. Microsoft has taken yet another step into the landscape of integrated system technology with .NET which dissolves the boundaries between your local PC, workstation, Intranet, and Internet.

Long before wide-market circulation of .NET, CAQ AG Factory Systems started to integrate this future-oriented technology into its range of products, not only as one of the first quality, environment, and production management software providers, but also in close cooperation with Microsoft and other leading database providers.

Mobility at Its Best – Localized and Decentralized – From PDA to Tablet PC

CAQ AG Factory Systems has shown the same security-focused future orientation with the integration of mobility and independence into its range of products. Whether PDA or Tablet PC – all modules in our range of products, from their inception, were designed to accommodate the highest degree of mobility and usability. Whether usage of pen and decentralized data gathering with state-of-the-art, light-weight and compact PDA’s, or local electronic audit data gathering with the inconspicuous but high-performance Tablet PC, or management tools with wireless connections directly integrated into your company network with the latest developments in mobile computing. We help you transgress the spatial limits in your present quality, environmental, and production management with the integration of mobile software solutions into all CAQ AG Factory Systems software modules!

At Your Location Or Available Worldwide – Intranet, Internet, and Terminal Server

Of course all CAQ AG Factory Systems software modules are optimized to be used on Citrix MetaFrame® or Terminal Server® clients (while maintaining compatibility to the Microsoft Windows operating system) and therefore support the simplest and most inexpensive approach to link technological performance with spatial flexibility even with low bandwidths and down to the simplest IT administration set-ups. We support the most straightforward manner to achieve worldwide usage of your CAQ AG Factory Systems software modules via the Internet through consistant usage of Citrix MetaFrame® or Terminal Server® web-client services – highest flexibility without compromises!

The Database – Platform for Success

CAQ AG Factory Systems software depends on proven and established systems when it comes to database systems. Whether MS Access structure for simple and quick data access on notebooks, decentralized inspection terminals, or as a cost-free introduction into the world of CAQ AG Factory Systems for systems with, so far, few simultaneous users.

As a partner in development of leading database providers, such as Microsoft and its MS SQL Server or Oracle, CAQ AG Factory Systems continually works at optimizing and perfecting the interplay between databases and applications. We consistently employ any improvement potential for automation and increase in performance in order to connect technological feasibility with practicality – but one thing always applies: no experimentation at the expense of security and stability! It is to be expected that you will not necessarily be tied to one single database forever – it is important to have the option to change onto another platform at any time as demands increase and economical and organizational effectiveness change!

Integration into Perfection – Say Good-Bye to the Classic Peripheral

A few years ago, connecting highly integrated and automated systems for quality, environmental, and production management was still a nightmare for many systems administrators and, due to cost factors, often an impossibility.

Connect.Net®, with its user-friendly menu structure, its numerous import and export functions, its large numbers of pre-defined function libraries, and its extremely simple and logical scalability has eliminated, once and for all, the myth of “a secret science” and taken the bogeyman out of administrative tasks. CAQ AG Factory Systems’ numerous pre-defined function libraries of interfaces to SAP, Microsoft Business Solutions, Infor Business Solutions, Bäurer, Brain, ProAlpha, as well as to many other PPS/ERP providers are available with Connect.Net®’s standard version.

Technical Data

  • Operating System
    Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 (with the up-to-date service pack) as 32-bit or 64-bit version. A client with at least 1 GB RAM (depending on complexity) is recommended. Due to the fact that Microsoft has stopped providing technical support since Juni 07, 2006 for the old operating systems Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows ME as well as Microsoft Windows 2000, we cannot provide support for our software products running on these operating systems either.
  • Server
    Microsoft Windows 2003, 2008 or other servers, which make data accessible through a TCP/IP connection. Optional support of Microsoft Terminal Server or Citrix (while maintaining compatibility to the Microsoft Windows operating system). Your customer service specialist will gladly assist you.
  • Internet/Intranet-Server
    Server-supported Intranet and Internet features of our software products are guaranteed only with the latest Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), version 6.0 and higher. On the client end, Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 6.0 and higher and the most current service pack or an equivalent compatible browser must be installed.
  • Peripherals
    Connect.Net® allows for automatic data exchange up to integrated/shared database access from/to/with peripheral systems to PPS/ERP, MaWi, MES (MDE/BDE), etc. Our customer service personnel will be happy to assist you.
  • Appearance
    Analogous to Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 with tree structures, pull-down menus, drag & drop, copy & paste, and context-sensitive toolbars. All masks and field designations are selectable. .
  • Customer-Specific Modifications
    Individual Software Adjustments While Fully Preserving Release Capabilities of Standard Software Version.
  • Support, Integration, Automation Microsoft Office
    Some software modules support a fully automated integration of Microsoft Office (e.g. QBD.Net®, APQP.Net®, CAQ-Compact.Net®, etc): Please note, according to Microsoft, the new release of .NET is not compatible with older Microsoft Office products (including Microsoft Office XP). Therefore, using even one .NET product with ALL CAQ AG Factory Systems software modules requires using Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007. Employing older Microsoft Office products (e.g. Microsoft Office 97, 2000, and XP) is, according to Microsoft, no longer possible in combination with .NET products. We offer neither guarantees as to compatibility nor support services with software products that mimic Microsoft Office (such as Open Office, and similar products).
  • Documentation
    Context-specific online help and handbook also available as a PDF on CD/DVD or online at www.CAQ.de.
  • Base Data Administration
    Application-spanning, self-taught libraries which can be updated and maintained in the running application. Content of libraries is available to users via pull-down menus.
  • Database
    Shared database with open structure for all CAQ AG Factory Systems software modules is included in the standard software with fully functional free Access database. We recommend using an SQL database, e.g. MS SQL Server (version 2000 and higher) or Oracle (version 9i and higher) depending on the number of users and data volume.
  • User Administration
    Network-independent distribution of user names and passwords with designation of user-specific rights down to single data fields.
