Process monitoring
Process monitoring or process monitoring comprises various organizational methods and technical procedures that are used to assess the manufacturing process .
The goals of process monitoring are:
- Increase in the availability of the manufacturing process
- Increase in machine and system safety
- Improving quality of products
Process monitoring has an overlap with quality monitoring , especially when non-destructive testing methods are used.
Through process monitoring, a decision is made as to whether the manufacturing process should be intervened. This decision can be based on a person's perception and experience or on the basis of a fact-based measurement.
Some metrics such as B. pressure , temperature or spatial position can be measured relatively easily; the assessment in relation to the manufacturing process often requires know-how . For example, measured higher vibrations can be due to a worn machining tool , an imbalance in the electric motor of the production machine, or to unforeseen material properties of the workpiece . This can reduce the quality of the product and / or lead to an imminent failure of the production machine and possibly endanger the machine operator.
The advancing automation makes it necessary that more and more of the process monitoring is carried out automatically and not by the machine operator .
