In 1983 Prolink embarked on a mission to write a Statistical Process Control (SPC) software program called QC-CALC™ to interface with all automatic inspection equipment. The need for an easy to use data collection and analysis software was apparent then and continues to this day.
Our philosophy is and has always been to save the customer time and money by automating as much of the data collection and reporting as possible. Many other SPC packages perform similar statistical analysis functions as QC-CALC, but none offer the automatic data collection, database creation, and part switching that has been our cornerstone.
Over the last several years, we have added several new products that further the vision of SPC automation. These new product offerings include the SPC Office Buddy which automates the running of custom Excel and Minitab reports, the Enterprise Report Scheduler which allows you to create scheduled rollup reports and shop floor dashboards, and QC-PLC which collects data from Programmable Logic Controllers.
Since 1983 we have been committed to listening to our customers' needs, writing quality software programs, giving no hassle technical support, and fostering business partnerships that last. We take pride in our software packages and relationships with our customers. It is important to us that every question is answered and every problem is solved.

MicroRidge was founded in 1983 by John Schuldt, President, and has built its reputation by developing and marketing microcomputer-based industrial software systems for statistical process control in lumber manufacturing to assist in lumber recovery efforts. MicroRidge introduced the first portable lumber size control system to the timber industry and in 1988 introduced the first gage interface to the general manufacturing market. This early GageWay interface was a simple connection for Mitutoyo gages to a serial port on the PC.
Today, MicroRidge has a suite of products designed to support tailored solutions. Our 1st generation GageWay Wireless was introduced in October 2006 and has led to the May 2010 introduction of the 3rd generation wireless - MobileCollect. These wireless systems work on the factory floor, in the lab or anywhere an individual needs to connect digital gages and RS-232 devices to a computer without the use of cables. GageWay interfaces directly link single or multiple gages and serial devices using RS-232, USB or network connections. Real-time data can be fed into Excel using our WedgeLink family of hardware and software keyboard wedges.
