The use case includes two industrial partners, ALFA the company which focus is on X-Ray material inspection and CONT plant located in Timisoara that produces instrument clusters and displays for car manufacturers. The use-case presumes the introduction if the X-Ray machine for material and components quality check in order to identify deviations from specifications. One of the production lines of the CONT plant will be utilized for the use case. Moreover, additional functionality will be provided through ZDMP platform to store the inspection samples, as well as statistical analysis of current measurements with historical data/samples.
After the inspection process finished, a report is produced and if the product or material corresponds to the specifications the production process continues, but if some deviations are detected, report is sent to the operator for detailed check.
The quality control is important stage of every production process, as a defected part can significantly affect the product functionality. To be able to find possible defects at the earliest possible stage and minimizing the effect on the whole production process at the factory scale the X-Ray inspection machine in conjunction with ZDMP platform are utilized.
The ZDMP platform assists the process of quality inspection, while providing a library inspection programs for specific materials/components. Moreover, to understand the tendency over time current measurements can be compared with historical ones.
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.
The usage of ZDMP platform in conjunction with the X-Ray machine allows to automate the quality check process and to improve the inspection scope (as before only few items from each lot of materials/components are checked on compliance with specification due to time constraints). The new approach allows extending the number of inspected parts, only requiring operator involvement, when the deviations from specifications are detected.
The reports or feedback generated as result of the quality inspection is shared with material/component suppliers. Based on these reports further actions towards quality improvement can be undertaken.

The X-Ray machine will be deployed at the CONT factory for quality analysis improvement and in-time defects detection. The analysis will be applied to materials and components used within the production process. Before the process start, machine requests the inspection program from ZDMP platform, if one is available, the process starts automatically.
