Use Case

Manufacturing quality analytics

Problem:

Monitoring hundreds of products, grades, quality characteristics, …

Quality monitoring and improvement are a key element for customer satisfaction and among the top data use cases in Industry 4.0. In many cases, however, the main challenge is not so much the sheer quantity of quality samples, but the large variety of products, grades, plants, quality characteristics, and more. The oftentimes huge number of combinations of all these factors can make it very difficult to maintain a permanent overview of existing quality issues or deteriorating trends for specific products in specific plants. This may lead to situations where problems go unnoticed and corrective actions are being taken too late, causing expensive issues such as customer complaints.

Solution:

From overviews of quality metrics to detailed control charts in one click

Visplore Professional offers dedicated support for manufacturing quality analytics. Each sample value may have an associated setpoint and tolerance limits for offering interactive quality control charts. However, the support goes far beyond that: Key quality metrics such as the Cp and CpK values are computed, ranked, and visualized intelligently for up to thousands of combinations of products, grades, plants, and more so that combinations with potential quality problems show up instantly. In the same manner, Visplore computes and visualizes nonconformity rates, systematic deviations from setpoints, and deteriorating trends so that quality managers obtain the full picture within seconds. It requires a single click in these overviews to access detailed quality control charts, raw values, long-term trends, statistics and more – each of them customizable to your specific needs. And there are no limits to the analytics: For example, users may compare products, assets, or time periods both statistically and visually at any level of depth. All this is highly interactive even for millions of samples and accessible as a ready-to-use tool that can be opened with the most recent data from your quality management database in no time.

Result:

Better product quality with less effort

The effortless monitoring of all quality characteristics for all of your products and all grades enables you to detect existing and upcoming problems as early and as comprehensive as never before. The instant access to detailed visualizations and analytics allows quality managers to better understand problems and to trigger corrective actions or investigations in a focused and efficient way. Visplore thus helps to achieve a constantly high product quality while minimizing the effort for cumbersome search and analysis. This increases customer satisfaction and significantly reduces costs due to unnoticed poor quality.
