Optimize Your Manufacturing Production Line with an Integrated Process Monitoring and Control System

Industrial 4.0 manufacturers must operate as efficiently as possible, minimizing the occurrence of defects that negatively impact first time through (FTT) rates. This presents a unique challenge for manufacturers: How do you increase your production speed while maintaining quality?

Real-time process control systems give you an edge by improving your efficiency and productivity and reducing costs throughout your facility. Our integrated process monitoring and control platform uses real-time Industry 4.0 analytics to deliver valuable insights across your production line. Identify deviations from normal operations in production real-time, catch defects as they occur, and quickly determine the root cause of product defects found at the end of the line.

Monitor and analyze each step of the manufacturing and testing process, including press-fit, torque, and dispense.

Improve Your Press-Fit Process Monitoring

The Sciemetric EDGE Press-Fit includes a press application and 400-series hardware to form a single-ram press monitoring system. Like all Sciemetric EDGE process monitoring solutions, it is designed to be quickly configured and deployed.

A key feature of all Sciemetric EDGE industrial analytics platforms is modular scalability and flexibility. Our industrial operations data analysis systems are expandable, to monitor multiple press rams simultaneously. Data from force and displacement sensors is collected and analyzed using digital signal processing and signature analysis to detect any part or assembly defects.

Press-Fit will allow you to detect a broad range of defects, including:

Malfunctioning press equipment, e.g. loss of hydraulic fluid
Out-of-tolerance components
Poor surface finishes
Broken parts
Misalignment

In this video, Sciemetric’s CTO, Richard Brine, demonstrates the Sciemetric EDGE solution for press-fit applications on the production line. Learn how the Sciemetric solution gives you a close-up look at your application using powerful data acquisition technology and waveform analytics to pinpoint the specific problems in your process.
