Proven IIoT use cases for Quality Management

Predictive quality is the key to greater efficiency and customer satisfaction. Our platform shows you tried-and-tested use cases that demonstrate how companies from our network optimize production quality through IIoT!

Coating Monitoring

Irregularities in, for example Irregularities in the coating process, for example, lead to quality defects. IoT-supported sensor technology measures temperature, humidity and particle concentration in real time. Automatic adjustment of the coating parameters ensures a flawless, uniform coating.

Material warping and deformation

Variations in temperature or pressure can cause material distortion and production defects. IoT sensors and associated software monitor critical parameters during production—such as in the coating of turbine blades—and dynamically adjust processes to prevent deformation or cracking.

Reduction of Rejects

High rejection rates put a strain on production for many companies in our network and drive up costs. IoT sensors and data analytics help detect and eliminate error sources at an early stage. By monitoring machine parameters in real time, quality fluctuations can be minimized, and rejects can be sustainably reduced.

Tool Wear

Tool wear leads to quality fluctuations and increased rejects in many companies. Many rely on vibration and force sensors that detect wear conditions in real time and enable early replacement.

Humidity and Particle Measurement

Fluctuations in humidity or an excessively high concentration of particles can impair production processes and lead to defective coatings or material contamination. IoT sensors measure these environmental parameters in real time and enable automatic adjustment of process conditions to avoid rejects.

Fluctuations in Gas Flow

An unstable gas flow can have a significant impact on the quality of coating or melting processes, for example. IoT-based monitoring systems analyze the gas pressure and flow in real time and regulate it dynamically to ensure even material distribution and optimal process conditions.

Fault Detection

The smallest deviations in production processes can cause errors that are difficult to detect and result in high costs later on. IoT systems record process data, analyze patterns and detect anomalies at an early stage so that corrective measures can be initiated immediately.

Vacuum Leaks

In many manufacturing processes – for example in vacuum-based systems – even the smallest leaks are critical, as they impair material quality and process stability. IoT sensors continuously monitor the negative pressure and detect leaks immediately to prevent production downtimes and quality losses.

Water Quality & Purity Levels

With smart IoT sensors, water quality is monitored in real time. Parameters such as pH level, nitrate content, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity are continuously measured to detect deviations early and ensure compliance with quality standards.

Invisible Microcracks

Microcracks are often invisible to the naked eye but can significantly reduce the strength and lifespan of components. With IoT-powered image recognition and non-destructive testing methods, microcracks can be detected at an early stage before they lead to structural issues.

Correlation of Production Parameters

IoT-powered analytics examine the relationships between machine settings and product quality. This data helps identify faulty processes and make targeted adjustments to ensure consistently high quality.

Detect Material Residues

Material residues in containers or larger machines and plants of the companies in our network disrupt processes and impair the quality of the end products. IoT systems identify residues through optical or chemical analysis and ensure timely cleaning or adjustment of production parameters.

How do you successfully implement Predictive Quality?

Do you want to improve the quality of your products and processes with industrial IoT data or have you already planned your first steps? But you are faced with a variety of solutions and providers and are looking for a clear way to make optimum use of existing data and knowledge?

Quality Management and Predictive Quality require the targeted interaction of data-based technologies, strong partners and tried-and-tested approaches in order to detect errors at an early stage, avoid deviations and sustainably increase process efficiency.

Data Acquisition

The basis of every IoT and IIoT project lies in data acquisition and pre-processing (EDGE). The data from the field and control level can be transmitted either directly by wire or wirelessly. Operational parameters such as temperature, pressure, force, or production data in real time are captured – and made available for any use case.

Data Transmission

A seamless transfer of captured data is essential. Many companies combine wireless and wired solutions depending on the use case – for secure data transmission to the cloud or locally. Suitable networks for distance, data load and environments as well as high security standards are crucial in order to avoid downtimes.

Device Management

Efficient device management for IIoT devices enables companies in our community to centrally manage the entire life cycle, including automated updates and certificate management. Our partners are working on solutions to reduce operating costs through automation, minimize downtimes and achieve high efficiency through scalable solutions and optimized interfaces.

Data Integration

Data only becomes valuable when it is seamlessly integrated into existing IT and OT systems. A strong connection between machine level, MES, ERP systems and other business solutions enables efficient processes and consolidated insights. Keywords: Data Warehousing, Data Lake and Database (storage)

Data Standard (Communication)

Many companies do not have standardized access to machine and device data right through to their IT systems. Standards such as OPC UA, LoRaWAN and mioty enable seamless integration from the edge to the cloud. OPC UA, for example, connects OT and IT by transferring data via edge gateways to cloud services such as Azure Event Hubs or Kafka and tools such as Grafana or Power BI. Our partners ensure that these standards can be used efficiently.

Data Standard (Master Data)

Master data for products and services is often not uniformly classified and is available in data silos. When implementing use cases such as traceability, digital type plates, the digital product passport (DPP) or the product carbon footprint, this leads to high costs in data engineering due to duplication of work and inefficient processing. Uniform data formats, standardized product descriptions and technical concepts such as the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) are therefore crucial.

Data Visualization

The visualization of IoT data makes it possible to display complex information such as alarm trends, golden batch or process dashboards in intuitive reports. Customizable dashboards on standard tools help to analyze real-time data, identify trends and make informed decisions. Low-code solutions are also available.

Data Analysis and Evaluation

IoT/IIoT data analysis provides real-time insights into processes through, for example, data event-driven apps, real-time analytics, and root cause analytics. Tools such as MVDA, OEE, process KPIs and Predictive Maintenance can be used to identify anomalies and optimize processes. Low-code solutions also facilitate rapid implementation.

Data Security

Protection against unauthorized access, theft or manipulation is an issue for every company in our network. Our partners are working on solutions for the optimal use of digital identities and encryption technologies for secure access and communication of your devices, machines and systems.

Services

The services of our partners support companies from our network in the implementation and optimization of IoT solutions. This includes consulting, individual customization, training and technical support. The aim is to make processes more efficient, integrate systems seamlessly and derive maximum benefit from IoT/IIoT data.
