From Measurements to Knowledge - Online Quality Monitoring and Smart Manufacturing.

The purpose of this study was to develop an innovative supervisor system to assist the operators in an industrial manufacturing process to help discover new alternative solutions for improving both the products and the manufacturing process. This paper presents a solution for integrating different types of statistical modelling methods for a usable industrial application in quality monitoring. The two case studies demonstrating the usability of the tool were selected from a steel industry with different needs for knowledge presentation. The usability of the quality monitoring tool was tested in both case studies, both offline and online.
