More good rolls per run. RQMS helps manufacturers recover more first-quality yield.

Built for roll goods manufacturing.

Most manufacturers have already invested in gauging, inspection, and process control systems. RQMS is purpose-built to make those investments work harder to unify the data they generate into a single quality intelligence platform that operates 24/7 across every production line.

A single view of every roll.

RQMS integrates data from any system that influences roll quality, such as web gauging, optical defect inspection, process historians, LIMS, MES, and ERP, into one unified platform. It acts as middleware between your real-time plant systems and your business systems, giving every team a complete, accurate picture of roll quality without jumping between tools.

Quality mapped by position, not just time.

Most manufacturing software indexes data by time or material ID. RQMS goes further by tracking every measurement by exact machine-direction and cross-direction position across the full roll. Combined with proprietary high-efficiency archiving, RQMS stores years of full-resolution surface data that can be retrieved and visualized in seconds.

Smarter disposition decisions, every roll.

RQMS makes a real-time quality recommendation for every roll based on all available product and process data and flags if required data is still missing before a release decision is made. When material falls off-spec, RQMS identifies the best downgrade path to recover value and minimize scrap cost.

You can’t see the full picture.

RQMS gives you a complete, permanent record of every roll to unify gauging data, defect inspection, and process data into a single surface map. No more overwritten scans, no more siloed camera systems. Every meter of every roll is visible, archived, and retrievable in seconds.

Decisions get made without complete information.

RQMS grades every roll automatically against your specifications, so scrap, downgrade, and ship decisions are based on complete roll data. COA documentation is generated automatically the moment a roll is complete, eliminating the manual effort of pulling from multiple systems.

Problems repeat because patterns stay invisible.

RQMS maps quality measurements by exact position across the full roll, making banding patterns and positional trends visible for the first time. Startup and changeover waste gets quantified. And with clean integration into ERP, MES, and cloud platforms, your quality data finally becomes an asset, not an island.

FAQ

Adding a system to a validated environment raises questions about scope, integration, and compliance. Here's what you need to know about Audit Command.

What is RQMS?

RQMS (Roll Quality Management System) is a quality intelligence platform purpose-built for continuous roll-goods manufacturing. It aggregates data from gauging systems, optical defect inspection cameras, process historians, LIMS, MES, and ERP into a single unified roll quality record — enabling automated grading, disposition, and Certificate of Analysis generation for every roll produced.

What industries does RQMS serve?

RQMS is deployed across 12 industries including plastic films, battery manufacturing, steel and metals, nonwovens, paper and pulp, aerospace, automotive, coatings, laminates, adhesives, rubber, and packaging — anywhere continuous web manufacturing requires precise quality control and roll-level traceability.

How does RQMS differ from a process historian like AVEVA PI?

Process historians store data by timestamp. RQMS stores every measurement by exact machine-direction and cross-direction position within the roll. You cannot answer "what was the quality at meter 1,200 of Roll 4471?" with a general-purpose historian. RQMS was built specifically to answer that question — for every roll, across every line, in real time and historically.

Does RQMS require new hardware or sensors?

No. RQMS integrates with your existing gauging systems, optical inspection cameras, process historians, and enterprise platforms — including ThermoFisher, NDC/Nordson, Mahlo, ISRA VISION, AVEVA PI, and major ERP and MES platforms. Most deployments require no new hardware.

How does RQMS help reduce scrap?

RQMS maps every quality measurement by exact position across the full roll. When non-conforming material is identified, your team knows exactly where it starts and stops — so only the bad material is removed rather than scrapping the entire roll. Customers report double-digit scrap cost reductions in the first year of deployment.

How does RQMS automate Certificate of Analysis generation?

RQMS grades every roll automatically against your product specifications and generates a Certificate of Analysis the moment wind is complete. No manual data pulls, no switching between systems. COA documentation that previously took hours now happens automatically — including quality maps and statistical summaries your customers require.

Can RQMS integrate with our ERP or MES system?

Yes. RQMS acts as middleware between real-time plant-floor systems and business transaction systems, including ERP and MES platforms. Its Web API also makes roll quality data available to cloud analytics and AI/ML platforms without requiring RQMS to leave your production network.

How long does RQMS deployment take?

Deployment timelines vary by site complexity and the number of systems being integrated. RQMS has been refined across 20+ years of production deployments — what took months in its early form is significantly faster today. Contact Informetric to discuss your specific environment.

Is RQMS suitable for battery electrode manufacturing?

Yes. Battery electrode coating is a roll-to-roll web process with the same quality-characterization requirements as RQMS's core verticals. RQMS is used for precise coating-weight profiles, defect detection, and per-roll traceability. RQMS is already co-installed with ThermoFisher Scientific web gauging at battery manufacturing facilities and is well suited to the demands of electrode coating quality control.

How do we know RQMS will still be supported long-term?

RQMS has been in continuous production deployment for over 30 years. It is an active, supported platform with ongoing development, not a legacy product. IIn one case, a customer’s RQMS system survived four ownership changes at a single site, and we were through all four acquisitions. 

Can RQMS scale across multiple production sites?

Yes. RQMS is designed for multi-site deployment. Each site maintains its own complete roll quality record, and the platform's Web API makes quality data available to enterprise systems and cloud analytics platforms across your organization. For manufacturers operating multiple lines within a single facility, RQMS handles mixed gauging environments — normalizing data from different gauge vendors into a single unified framework so quality teams see the same display, the same statistics, and the same roll record regardless of which system is installed on each line. For multi-site organizations, a single RQMS deployment at one facility is often the starting point for broader enterprise adoption.
