Quality Management
There are many factors that can influence the quality of products during the production of insulating glass. This makes it important to monitor these and, in the event of quality defects, to be in a position to trace how they occurred. This is the only way to avoid quality problems in the future and achieve a high level of customer satisfaction. A wide range of measurement values such as pressures, temperatures, times and much more can be automatically recorded and viewed with lis.qualitypass. Manual tests can also be performed and managed with the aid of digital support. This allows quality defects in insulating glass to be recognised and accounted for, meaning that measures can be implemented to prevent them from occurring again.
The data with which lis.qualitypass works is provided directly by the machines and the production planning system, collected by the LiSEC Edge Box and transferred to the Microsoft Azure Cloud. The data is correspondingly prepared, pre-calculated and stored in databases for lis.qualitypass. We call this combination of machine data interface, production planning system, Edge Box and cloud infrastructure the LiSEC IoT platform.
Data is generated at different locations in production. One of these sources is the machine itself, where measurement data such as pressures, temperatures and times are recorded. A production planning system also provides information on the structure of insulating glass units. The LiSEC Edge Box collects this data from the machines and the production planning system and transfers it to the Microsoft Azure Cloud for further processing. The data is aggregated and interrelated in the cloud environment. Manual tests can also be digitally recorded, managed and associated with the recorded data.
In order to use lis.qualitypass, the machines of an insulating glass line must already generate and provide the necessary data. The production planning system GPS.prod in version 22.05 must also be used. Get in touch with your LiSEC representative to find out whether this is already the case for you.
lis.qualitypass enhances transparency in production so that quality defects can be identified and linked to the influencing factors. This allows potential for improvement to be identified, which makes it easier to manage production. The automatically recorded measurement data and the manually recorded quality tests are used as the basis for this.
