In recent years, in the manufacturing sector, the monitoring and analysis of the production of waste materials have become important activities not only to control the state of pollution but also the economy of the factory and the entire supply system.
The time has therefore come to act and, aware of the situation, find a way to make the processes more efficient.
Zero-defect production
Among the priority objectives for an aware industry, we find the introduction of a new working methodology that allows the achievement of zero defect production, in which every product or service supplied meets the established quality standards.
Specifically, it is a data monitoring and analysis system that allows you to understand, study and subsequently prevent errors. In details:
- Standardize processes to ensure that each step of production is performed consistently and that best practices are followed;
- Prevent defects through careful planning;
- Don’t stop collecting information from the field to monitor progress and any changes.
The search for new solutions
For several years, research and innovation working groups have been active on this front. There are, in fact, numerous projects belonging to Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe which, thanks to new IoT solutions, intend to revolutionize the management of the factory and the entire industrial ecosystem from a data-driven perspective.
Zero-defects, a shared methodology
In order for the adoption of a shared methodology, such as zero-defect production, to be extended to the entire value chain, it is important that all actors in the production process are informed and understand the importance and need to unify their business models for a common goal.
Sharing and collaboration between parties is the first step to creating a system that works.
