i-SCOUT4.0 CNC
Smart factory setup for a Discrete Manufacturer
With advancements in CNC technology, machines have become highly reliable reducing downtime. Manufacturers have more focused on meeting production schedules and hence need to track the production output of critical machines to achieve higher outputs. Our iSCOUT4.0 CNC unleashed new opportunities to monitor the production of all machines remotely and allowed stakeholders to subscribe to the notifications and alerts based on production events.
i-SCOUT4.0 SPC
SPC with Auto Tool correction for a discrete manufacturer
For effective Quality Control, implementation of SPC (Statistical Process Measurement) with in-line data collection is vital for assessing and monitor the Process Capability of the manufacturing process. Our customer, an Automotive component manufacturer is mass manufacturing components of 4 production lines who was mandated by OEMs to implement:
- In-line measurement data collection using Connected inspection gauges (contact or non-contact types)
- Automatic reading of part serial number from 2D barcode engraved on metallic surface using connected 2D code reader
- Real-time SPC: Control charts, histogram, Cp, Cpk calculations.
- Real-time Alerts and Dashboards based on pre-configured SPC rules for data, sample validation
- Monitoring tool wear on their CNC machines and send automatic tool correction to the CNC machine
Implementation of eMaestro“iSCOUT4.0 SPC” solution has helped manufacture to fulfill above objectives on all their production lines, help increase customer satisfaction, reduced defects, reduced cost of inspection, reduced cost of manufacturing with optimal tool usage and improved productivity with reduced machine downtime
i-SCOUT4.0 Vision
Visual Inspection for Discrete manufacturers
Visual inspection of products during production after every workstation is important to ensure successful completion of operations and correctness of product features. Visual inspection of these features proved expensive and represented significant investments, and operational challenges including costly methods to automate testing to detect these defects, managing slow and error-prone manual inspection process, managing threat of losses due to defective parts slipping through the inspection and complexity in automation of visual inspection
eMaestro developed “iSCOUT4.0 Vision” solution that Reduces losses in penalties or discounts against defective product shipments, help increase customer satisfaction with reduction in defective product shipments, reduces cost of visual inspection, reduces the cost of production with reduction in rework, by early detection of defects and reduces the cost of quality with automated inspection and recording of results in the enterprise systems
