METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSMITTING DATA FROM MANUFACTURING DATA ORIGINATORS TO TARGET COMPUTING SYSTEMS USING DEFINED MESSAGE SCHEMAS
A method of transmitting data from a manufacturing data originator at a manufacturing facility to a target computing system includes acquiring data indicative of an operation of the manufacturing data originator and associating the data acquired to one or more fields among a plurality of fields of a predefined message schema for a designated message type among a plurality of message types. The method further includes populating values of the fields of the predefined message schema of the designated message type based on the data associated with the fields and on message control data, where the message control data includes a facility identification, a data originator identification, a schema version identifier, or a combination thereof. The method further includes generating a message data string based on the populated fields of the predefined message schema and transmitting the message data string to the target computing system.
Test specimen for validating operating parameters of a method for the additive manufacturing of a part by laser melting on powder beds
A test specimen for validating operating parameters of a method for the additive manufacturing of a part by laser melting on powder beds includes at least one upper face, at least one lower face and side faces, including a front side face and a rear side face that are substantially on opposite sides from one another. The test specimen has at least one recess opening onto the front and rear side faces, the recess having a substantially triangular cross sectional shape being delimited by three internal faces, including a first lower internal face oriented upwards, a second upper internal face oriented downwards, and a third upper internal face which defines a narrow wall with one other of the side faces, which is inclined.
MACHINING FAILURE DETECTION DEVICE, LASER CUTTING APPARATUS, AND ELECTRIC DISCHARGE MACHINING APPARATUS
A machining failure detection device includes a machining light measurement unit that measures machining light generated at a machining point during machining; a machining sound measurement unit that measures machining sound generated at the machining point; and a computation unit that determines whether a machining failure has occurred in the machining. The computation unit includes a feature extraction unit, a determination value calculation unit, and a determination unit. The feature extraction unit extracts a machining light feature from a machining light signal measured by the machining light measurement unit, and extracts a machining sound feature from a machining sound signal measured by the machining sound measurement unit. The determination value calculation unit calculates a combined failure determination value on the basis of the machining light feature and the machining sound feature. The determination unit compares the combined failure determination value with a determination criterion to determine a failure.
Quality review management system with configurable exception rules
A quality review management system may be used to analyze the operation of manufacturing processes within a plant based on data collected by various data sources in the plant, such as batch executive applications, to automatically detect, store, and display exceptions within those processes for use by a quality review engineer to determine if the process operation meets certain quality standards. The quality review management system includes a configuration application that enables a user to create one or more exception rules, an exception engine that analyses process data using the rules to detect one or more exceptions within the process, and a review application that enables quality review personnel to review each determined exception for resolution purposes.
ANALYSIS INFORMATION MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND ANALYSIS INFORMATION MANAGEMENT METHOD
Selection of a batch file that causes an analysis device to analyze a sample successively is received by a receiver. Batch analysis data that represents an analysis result and corresponds to the batch file, selection of which is received, is acquired from a database device. Standard information, for verifying validity of an analysis performed by the analysis device, which corresponds to the batch file, selection of which is received, is acquired by a standard information acquirer from the database device. A report that describes an analysis result represented by the batch analysis data and an evaluation result in regard to validity of an analysis performed by the analysis device is created by a creator based on the acquired batch analysis data and the acquired standard information.
Method of providing feedback data indicating quality of food processing performed by an operator
A method and a system provide a feedback data indicating quality of a food processing performed by an operator. The method and system involve acquiring at least one image data of a food product from an operator; and processing the acquired image data. The processing includes detecting whether undesired objects are present in the food product, obtaining, in case undesired objects are detected, position data of the undesired objects within the food product, and utilizing the position data in issuing a feedback indicator indicating a position where the detected undesired objects are present within the food product processed by the operator.
