Templates Built Your Foundation. Inspections Build Your Future.

GainSeeker Templates were a breakthrough when they launched - custom data collection sequences that served manufacturers for over a decade. But manufacturing has changed, and your SPC data collection should too.

Old Templates

32-bit · Proprietary scripting · One field at a time · Carburetor-era technology

New Inspections

64-bit · Multi-input screens · Built for the modern shop floor

Think of it like the shift from carburetors to fuel injection. Carburetors worked - mechanics knew them inside and out - but fuel injection opened the door to precision, efficiency, and capabilities that simply weren't possible before. GainSeeker Inspections is that upgrade for your quality data collection process.

The 32-Bit Clock Is Ticking

Microsoft has been progressively eliminating support for 32-bit applications across Windows versions. While we can't predict the exact date your Templates will stop functioning, we can tell you this: it won't be a gradual slowdown. It will be a hard stop. Moving to Inspections now means you control the transition timeline - not an operating system update.

Four Reasons to Make the Move

GainSeeker Inspections isn't just a replacement - it's a genuine upgrade to how you collect and act on quality data.

A Modern, Cleaner Interface

Inspections replace the one-field-at-a-time experience of Templates with a thoughtfully designed screen that shows multiple inputs at once.

• Faster data entry for operators
• Reduced cognitive load and fewer clicks
• Intuitive layout aligned with inspection workflows

Open Programming with Python

Say goodbye to proprietary scripting. Inspections are powered by Python - the most popular programming language in the world.

• Abundant online tutorials, forums, and documentation
• Easier to find and onboard Python-skilled staff
• No vendor lock-in on your customization logic

Platform Security & Longevity

64-bit architecture is the standard for modern enterprise software. Inspections are built to run reliably today and be supported well into the future.

• No dependency on aging 32-bit Windows support
• Aligned with Microsoft's long-term OS direction
• Active Hertzler development and support roadmap

Data Collection for 2025, Not 2005

Your processes have evolved. Your measurement tools have improved. It's time your data collection software caught up.

• Flexible inspection sequences that match real workflows
• Better integration with GainSeeker SPC and analytics
• Foundation for AI-powered quality insights with AskGS

Your Path from Templates to Inspections

We've helped many clients make this transition and we're here to guide yours. Here's how the process typically works.

1.Audit Your Templates

Inventory your existing Templates and identify which are actively in use, which are redundant, and which need to be rebuilt vs. retired.

2.Work with Hertzler Support

Our team will review your current setup and map your Templates to equivalent (or better) Inspection workflows.

3.Build & Test Inspections

Your new Inspections are built using Python and validated against your quality data collection requirements before going live.

4.Train Your Team

Hertzler offers training programs to get your operators and quality engineers comfortable with the Inspections interface quickly.

5.Go Live - on Your Schedule

Transition at a pace that works for your operation. Run both systems in parallel if needed - and retire Templates when you're ready.
