Pilot 4 - FACTOR: Aeronautics and Aerospace Metal Parts Quality

Summary

Metal Machining like you’ve never seen!

Exciting News from FACTOR! Introducing our pilot episode in the journey to elevate manufacturing excellence! FACTOR, a leading player in metal machining and precision turning, is kickstarting an innovative venture towards perfection in manufacturing quality assurance.

Their goal is to align with the rigorous data quality management requirements of the aerospace industry and become a prominent supplier.

They are on a transformative mission to achieve manufacturing with zero defects by addressing several crucial aspects:

- Eliminating efficiency failures caused by the state of the cutting lubricant.

- Minimizing breakage of cutting tools due to lubricant issues or blocked cooling channels.

- Enhancing diagnosis and evaluation of breakage incidents.

- Ensuring tools work within their optimum range.

- Predicting equipment damage in advance.

- Implementing efficient inspection for all manufactured parts.

Why is this important? Currently, FACTOR lacks a continuous process validation-based manufacturing lines qualification system. This impacts our ability to guarantee the inalterability of products and process data to our customers. i4Q is determined to meet this requirement not only for aerospace and automotive customers but also as a competitive advantage across various sectors.

Expected Results: Our journey aims for impressive outcomes:

- Data accuracy/precision in timestamped sensor capture reduced from 50 to 10 ms.

- CNC machines set-up time reduced by 20%.

- Measurement time for complex parts cut in half, eliminating human error.

- Equipment productivity boosted by 5%.

- Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) improved by 15%.

- Time to market for new parts reduced by 30%.

Join the i4Q community and stay tuned for more updates and insights on how these solutions are changing Manufacturing for the better!
