All Dimac machines are designed for an innovative approach to quality factory organization that integrates SPC controls, quality 100% controls, and the company IT system to drive metal component industries towards a ZERO-DEFECT FUTURE
In the new smart factory, constant improvement is based on self-awareness to build efficient and fault-tolerant automated processes.
The defect is the starting point of the process, not only because it represents the missing economic value but also because it is the first clue to a possible point of improvement, an element that can unlock the key to a leap in quality and efficiency.
Acquiring reliable, objective data free from human error is the first step in efficiency.
Quality instrumentation is a necessary but not sufficient condition for reliable data.
Data must be acquired beyond the objectivity of the operator: automated in the acquisition phase, to eliminate the influence of operator sensitivity, and free from the influence of dirt, a critical element in automated measurement in the shopfloor.
Two-way communication is a fundamental element of the zero-defect factory.
The field instrument, whether an automatic SPC in production or a 100% sorting machine, uploads information back to the central system automatically to eliminate transcription errors. At the same time, the correct matching between the part number and its control plan, the verification and update of the control plan, and measurement recipes, give assurance regarding the correct matching between the product and acquired information.
The acquired data, without appropriate processing, remains an unexpressed potential.
Appropriate organization of the database, combined with knowledge of the production process, allows obtaining immediately usable information: from production intervention (stop, tool change, or correction of the working set point of production machines) to the maintenance program of machine tools, from optimization of work cycles to traceability of items and batches, and to a defect catalog as a basis for setting production cycles of new part numbers.
The overall quality control process has an increasing economic impact on the final product and therefore deserves its own efficiency audit.
Information sharing among all process stages, starting with the management of control recipes, is a key element in making the process perform especially in those productions characterized by high flexibility, frequent introduction of new part numbers, and fragmented production batches.
