Predictive quality in plastic production

Huge amounts of data are generated in plastics production - from sensors along the production line to results from the quality laboratory. Quality assurance relied heavily on manual sampling and downstream laboratory testing. Deviations only became apparent with a delay, which led to material losses and made process optimization more difficult.

Based on the machine time series and laboratory data, we have developed a predictive quality module that detects anomalies and deviations in real time. The company can readjust or cancel processes at an early stage and thus guarantee products that conform to specifications - quality assurance goes from reactive to proactive.

• Reduction of scrap and rework
• Increasing the production efficiency of the extruders
• Schnellere Ursachenanalyse (Root Cause Analysis)
• Early detection of machine and process problems
• Reducing quality inspection costs with better consistency
