The optimization of quality process decision is taking place thank to a holistic view of the factors that influence the perception of the quality from the consumer prespective. The platform using a MPFQ driven data model is enabling a faster, more reliable and flexible visualization system and analytical approach.
Part of the improved decision process enabled by the holistic platrom can be close looped into machine control parametes, allowing an autonomous quality management at factory level
Data are valorized thanks to a noevl data model based on MPFQ wich is correlating in a function based structured way components parmeters to process parameters to quality performances
Data are no more stored in silos but they can be used to represent the factors influencing a specifi behavior of process and product performances.

A correlation is realized within the production line between the overall process parameters and the product characteristics which are monitored at the end of the line in specific control modules.
With the help of INTRASOFT algorithm, several optimization are suggested for process parameters in order to optimize the final control workstation and to diminuate scraps and rework parts.
In addition to that, we can use CEA non-intrusive assets aquisition system to localize machine-oriented rootcauses (process deviation due to mechanical issue in the workstation for instance). This could lead to quickly identify a rootcause and to implement corrective actions effectively.
The non-intrusive notion comes from the fact that the asset monitoring (which can be a vibration from an accelerometer, a current, a temperature, ...) does not require any heavy integration, even the link with PLC is simplified with a standard exchange table for record triggers and the part informations.
At a certain point of integration, the correlation between overall process parameters and the output product characteristics could be realized in real time in order to adjust, without any Human action, the different parameters along the production line.
This is the ideal towards which we wish to achieve with our future production lines.

Using the opportunities brought by the Qu4lity project, RiaStone with the collaboration of Synesis and IntraSoft, built a commercial grade ZDM implementation scenario, which brings to the ceramics industry the ability to implement Autonomous Quality Loops, which will add new approaches to production, promoting better and innovative defect management and production control methods, consistent with the integration of Zero defect Manufacturing processes, these being namely: in-line inspection technologies, and integration of ICT tools for autonomous, automatic, smart system decision taking
The RiaStone Qu4lity Pilot enables human involvement at various levels and production stages.
Human operators inspect, monitor, and view all created datasets. During the process of model training, the operator guides the ML algorithm through the image inspection training process.
This is performed after the image acquisition in the production line, through joint algorithm/human expert labeling of the images (new defect classification, conformant/non-conformant product), this allowing for the training of the algorithm in the existing defects dataset, and at evolving the algorithm and pushing the new (improved) model to the production line AQL platform
In the RiaStone Qu4lity Pilot the ZDM-AQL is implemented in a modular architecture, which includes both in-factory data processing, Edge processing Systems, Cloud processing systems, and Machine Learning processing Services.
The RiaStone Qu4lity Pilot goal is to recognize, detect, and reconfigure the production process parameters as soon as a failure is detected in real-time.
This process is based in the collected data, advanced analytics, machine learning image inspection methods
The data acquired through computer vision, is processed through machine learning algorithms and compared to an existing database of ~10000+ images already noted by human operators
Inspection results are fed into the synesis-consortium machine control platform that decides necessary changes to the machine parameters driving production in both Business Processes (1&2)

The POWDER BED Additive technology will be considered to test new edge devices for process control, towards a ZDM result, and to work on data management and analytics to implement the whole manufacturing process by a platform approach.
Data monitored from the machine tool and meta-information generated by different applications running at edge level will be collected and elaborated by the data analysis tool to extract useful information to be sent to the decision support system.
Main technologies that will be adopted in this pilot:
The ambition is to create a modular monitoring and control system that can be used with many different sensors and process models. The models need to be adaptable to the actual task, for a specific geometry or dedicated material processing conditions. Real-time process and machine signals need to be analysed in by machine-learning algorithms to find structures and pattern related to the required key quality indicators (critical defects per track, distortion, keeping of dimensions).The system will be also connected to a higher-level factory data interface which allows to exchange process information and reassign the production strategy based on additional factory conditions.
Thanks to this new approach with modular adaptable signal processing system and a strong interaction with data space and simulation tools trough the platform, will be possible to detect anomaly and have anequipment condition reporting , reduce reject rate by application of data-driven process model that has been derived by AI algorithms, increase OEE by recommending process adjustments to the operator or directly change the parameters in real time, so to reduce also the operator costs.

There are two IoT platforms included in 2 manufacturaing lines for Automotive and Railway sector for MONDRAGON pilot. IoT platforms monitor 3 grinding machines from railway sector as well as press machine, stacker, Owen and Transfer from Automiotive customer.
The variables monitored allow machine tool buider to know that the process exectuion is under treshold defined as well as enabling predictions about possible faillures. As a consequence there will be an increase of the quality production and the optimisation of the production.
The interoperability layer between two IoT Platfroms has been achieved considering OPC-UA and AAS.
Collaboration with international partners such as ATLANTIS, VTT and FHG has allowed us to include IA algorithms, specific data analitics and data sharing connectors.In spte of the fact that IoT platfrom and interopoerability has been oriented to real time optimisation the analitycs and the IA algorithms have been carryed out off-line
The variables monitored in real time throght IoT platfroms for 2 manufacturing lines enables the Zero Defect Manufuactiring goal. Multiple industrial assets monitored force to have an strategic in terms of enchacement processes.
The implementation of modular architecture interconected involving Cloud and Edge Systems, Data Modelling and Learning Service and Iot Hub produce top quality production. The introduction of Interoperability layer for gathering data from two different manufacturing lines together with OPC-UA and AAS is key for the goal.

Kolektor's Qu4lity project is addressing the real-time injection moulding process monitoring-control. The scope of the pilot project is a production line where Kolektor produces one type of product. The aim of this pilot is to detect, possibly predict, and remove the cause of the process failure as soon as possible, ideally in real-time. Based on the collected data and by applying the control loops, advanced analytics, and artificial intelligence methods we are trying to better understand the moulding process, with the emphasis on detecting anomalies and failures as soon as possible.
We are developing Sinapro IIoT MES/MOM cloud solution (part of the Kolektor Digital Platform) as the cornerstone of the MOM system which enables real-time collecting, evaluating, validating, filtering, checking, and storing of production data. The captured production data can be processed in real-time for the purpose of obtaining various production information, which enables immediate action. MOM function for production analyses with depth learning technology of AI gives users additional and high-quality information’s for fast decisions to achieve zero-defect goals in production.
The Kolektor Digital Platform enables human involvement on various levels. Human operators can monitor, view and inspect created datasets. During the process of model training, the operator can monitor the current state and detailed information of the training process. The Kolektor Digital Platform opens a channel between a data scientist and a decision-making individual in the production line. It is desirable to have multiple people, each assigned to a specific task. The whole process could be split into subtasks - acquiring images on the production line, human expert labeling the images (classification, anomaly,..), data scientist training the model on the new dataset and at the end evaluation of the model and pushing the new (improved) model to the production line.
The Kolektor Digital Platform enables us to automatically collect the data from the shop floor. The Sinapro IIoT enables the connectivity of the pilot production line machines and related IoT devices for real-time production data acquisition and monitoring. The acquired data is afterward used in the off-line machine learning pipelines to produce machine vision predictive models to detect visual injection moulding defects. A pipeline for deploying such off-line machine learning to a HPC cluster is being developed at JSI within the scope of the Kolektor Pilot.
The acquired data is used in on-line prediction of defects. The predicted defects are used to adapt the visual quality inspection with an in-hand camera with a robot. The robot is guided to and between predetermined viewpoints associated with the predicted defects. The robot motion is generated autonomously on-line.

Within Qu4lity use case, GHI with the collaboration of Innovalia and SQS, is building a ZDM scenario based on the development of a smart and connected hot stamping process with the ability to correlate the furnace operation parameters with the quality control of the stamped parts, extending in this way the product lifecycle control loop, making the operator more involved in the process thanks to the new platform developed.
We are building a connected environment through the industrial furnace smartization, but also implementing an IT solution that enables data gathering and transferring on real-time to GHI server, where then the data analysis is performed.
Operators are more involved in the whole process, but mainly receives valuable information of the furnace operation through the real-time monitoring interface of the platform. Also daily reports provide them valuable information.
The Beyond Platform also gathers data from other assets, not only from the furnace, so they can potentially optimised as well. On the other hand, there are aspects regarding the industrial furnace that mainly affects to the whole factory level, as for example, a reduction on the energy consumption or a reduction on the defective manufacturing that can be achieved thanks to the data analysis provided through this tools.
The Beyond platform implemented provides valuable information with daily, monthly reports and deeper analysis in concrete operations that allows technicians to optimize the machine (industrial furnace) operation.
As it is described on the Autonomous Smart Factories, in this use case, in addition to the tools that make possible to improve and optimize the manufacturing connected process, it also intends to highly reduce the defective manufacturing increasing the product lifecycle control loop, improving the manufacturing process thanks to the information provided through the product quality control process.
In this use case, GHI and Innovalia will share data in a trust manner through an IDS connector, so that GHI will be able to find correlation between the quality of the parts and the furnace operation parameters.
By the time this sharing data solution has been devise just for the use case, but also a business model in here can emerge as GHI is getting more restrictions with customers that do not want to give the governance of their process data.
