With stencil function and automatic inspection plan creation and maintenance for all common CAD systems
With the graphic inspection planning CAD-Link.Net®, you can adopt all relevant inspection characteristics directly from your existing CAD drawings.
This transfer of all relevant characteristic data, including specifications (measurements, form and location tolerance, symbols and comments) and, CAD system dependent, all other available values, happens with simple clicks of the mouse. Thus, referential integrity can be assured and errors in transfer eliminated!
From mid-size companies to multi-national corporations, CAQ AG develops innovative, integrated software solutions that satisfy the highest demands and meet all requirements of quality management.
Furthermore, CAQ AG software supports all quality-related processes pertaining to any value added chain, production companies, and service providers. We attach special importance to compliance with standards as well as 100% release-capability of all of our software solutions without any restrictions – all this while retaining the maximum degree of customization to satisfy customer-specific demands.
Although CAQ AG software solutions are installed on thousands of systems worldwide, we guarantee that you can update your version automatically, no matter how many updates and upgrades you have installed previously. All upgrades function with minimum servicing time and effort onsite. Updates install automatically without requiring you to consult or involve our service staff. Updates neither change nor impede any customer-specific configurations. This principle ensures the full value of your investments.

In all of our efforts our most important goal is not just to satisfy you, but instead to thrill you! One thing is essential to realizing this goal – and we are very proud of our accomplishments on this front: We have a highly motivated, engaged, and competent team in which and with which working is fun!
It is a matter of course for us here at CAQ AG that our employees in development, support, customer service, sales, and management, in addition to having university degrees as well as practical experience, have completed the training courses for “Quality Manager GFQ-IHK” or “Quality Assistant GFQ-IHK” and stay up-to-date by continuously completing training programs.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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. We present to you CAG AG Factory Systems’ new range of products, adapted to fit your industry-specific needs!
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.
Intuitive operation, conformity to standards, user comfort, field-tested – guidelines which have always been at the center of our product development.
We complete our software product offer with a range of software user workshop pertaining to current topics in quality, environmental and production management! Experienced GFQ Akademie GmbH instructors with years of know-how coming from numerous fields, such as industrial, commerce, and service sectors, ensure practical relevance and implementation of workshop contents. But that’s not all.
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!
CAQ AG Factory Systems customers with valid TSP (Top Service Pack) receive a discount of up to 25% of their TSP annual dues on registration fees for software user workshops. Ask our INFO-service about your TSP bonus.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
