This use-case has the goal to optimize the quality check process within the CONT assembly line. Data that are not utilized by the previous quality check process are used by ZDMP platform services to complement the process.
In this use-case, besides the services providing performance check and quality control, ZDMP platform also enables communication of the workstations and the database keeping the relevant data.
This use-case targets not only the quality assessment process within the CONT plant, but also can be used by the supply partners delivering material and components for the CONT, as the reports/feedback can be also shared with them.
For the quality assessment and prediction service is crucial to aggregate the data from both the Martinrea Honsel (MRHS) and FORD industrial partners. The quality forecasting or prediction allows optimising and adjusting the production process to achieve better quality of the product – aluminium cylinder blocks, which is not possible or less accurate without digitalized data exchange between industrial partners.
In this use-case the main data supplier is the FORD manufacturing facility. The other industrial partner provides the services around the life cycle of the product (machining equipment) deployed within the FORD facility. These services are only possible under the extensive data exchange process between industrial partners (assistance from ZDMP platform), so that the ETXE – equipment manufacturer/supplier, can assist in terms of maintaining the quality of equipment operation.
The main data supplier is the FORM industrial partner. After the data are gathered, they are sent and stored within the ZDMP platform deployed outside of FORM. The data are critical to feed ZDMP platform providing the quality control services. Additionally, data can be shared with FIDIA equipment manufacturer to assist with equipment-related quality problems.
The tools provided by ZDMP are integrated with the steel tube machines automating some critical quality check tasks, while improving the overall quality control process.
Result items:
It is important, not only for the construction company, but also for the material suppliers to track the amount of shipped materials and quality, and, if needed, coordinate and adjust activities.
ZDMP platform, acquiring data from FORM, provides predictive services related to, for instance, equipment degradation dynamics (especially moving parts of the machine) to be able to timely react and replace or fix the corresponding part.
The concept of the hyperconnected factories is approached in the interfactory part of the project with connections between different links of the supply chain, using an agent-based marketplace.
