Hello, this is Yada from NANO SEIMITSU. Please allow me to present to you the introduction video for "LINE QC SPECIALIST" which is now ready for use.

LINE QC SPECIALIST is a comprehensive monitoring and control system to prevent defective products from being created in the process. It strengthens tendency control and central control during mass production processing to eliminate in-process defects. The software also allows administrators to take data on the information they want, and the system is designed for mass production plants of single parts. This video will help you to understand the features of LINE QC SPECIALIST which is the mechanism that prevents defects and enhances quality improvement through data analysis.

▲LINE QC SPECIALIST

Appearance of the LINE QC SPECIALIST system
・ Equipped with (1) a tablet, (2) Patlite, (3) a micrometer and a caliper (a standard measuring instrument by Mitsutoyo) on the wagon device.

・Equipped with U-WAVE wireless communication. When the operator presses a button, the measured data is automatically input to the control line of the tablet. Any U-WAVE compatible measuring instrument such as a dial gauge or depth gauge can be used.

・The wagon and software are integrated, and the battery is installed to allow moving during the process. This means that there is tendency control while recording data during mass production.

・Direct input is possible, even by hand, such as shape measuring instruments and lab data. All measurement items can be managed by one unit.

・A desktop type is also available for incoming and outgoing inspections (or when moving during the process is not necessary).

What do we do to prevent defects from being created during mass production machining? Role of LINE QC SPECIALIST

This section explains the mechanism of LINE QC SPECIALIST, which prevents defective products from being created in the process. There are two main functions here.

Function 1: Control by setting set-up standards and mass production standards
The main purpose of introducing LINE QC SPECIALIST is to prevent defects from being created during mass production machining (or to make it impossible to create defects). To achieve this, control value is set up at a more severe limit level than inside the customer's specifications, and if an abnormal product is about to be created during mass production processing (i.e., if the control line is reached), the software will alert the customer.

▲ Limit Inside control by setting set-up standard and mass production standards

Function 2: The software monitors work procedures and measurement rules.
Defects are often caused by operator errors who ignore the rules, and LINE QC SPECIALIST is equipped with a mechanism to avoid these human errors by a system.

▲ The software constantly monitors work procedures and measurement rules

Monitoring of work procedures
Calibration of measuring instruments to check their reliability.
Separate set-up and start of mass production, and thoroughly enhance central control and tendency control.
Monitoring of measurement points and frequency (using reliable measuring instruments to measure the correct points and at the correct frequency)

If a worker does not follow the rules, a red light comes on and that worker cannot proceed to the next task. By thoroughly implementing these rules, we will create a system that makes sure that the rules are always followed on site and that defective products are not created.

Quality improvement through big data analysis accumulated by LINE QC SPECIALIST

LINE QC SPECIALIST maintains a database of all records during mass production machining. Therefore, it is possible to specify a period of time and display measured data in a specified format, as well as output statistical management charts showing such as changes over time and process capability.

▲ Quality improvement through big data analysis

What can be understood by data analysis
・Process capability of each product
・Confirmation of target value by central control and tendency control
・Ratio of good/defective products, process capability status, and histogram for each machine
・Defect rate for each set-up person and machine adjuster
・Workers with a large number of errors (not following the rules), staff with low process capability (Based on this information, it is possible to determine who needs what kind of training) And Others.

▲ Display of measured data in a specified format

▲ Differences in worker ability based on measured data

These are just a few examples, but mass production data can be used for quality improvement in many ways. Paperless operations eliminate writing and reading mistakes, make it easier to manage data, and give administrators immediate access to the data they want.

In the future, Nano Seimitsu plans to continue offering more detailed explanations of LINE QC SPECIALIST in the form of webinars for interested companies. We have also started lending demo units to companies that are interested. Please experience the mechanism to make people follow the rules and the utilization of big data from the work site.
