Project Background
In order to improve product quality and customer satisfaction, a printing company decided to establish a printing quality traceability system to trace and manage the key parameters and product quality in the production process.
Application Scheme
The company chose an IIoT gateway with data collection and transmission capabilities and connected to core equipment such as printing presses and paper cutters. The gateway collects key data in the production process in real time, such as printing time, ink volume, paper type, etc., and transmits the data to a cloud server for storage and analysis.
Practical application
1. Data collection and transmission: The gateway collects key data in the production process in real time, including printing speed, ink usage, paper consumption, etc. Through the transmission function of the gateway, this data is uploaded to the cloud server in real time for storage and analysis.
2. Data traceability and management: Based on the data stored in the cloud server, enterprises can establish a printing quality traceability system. By entering information such as a product batch number or production time, the system can trace back to the production process and key parameters of that batch. This helps enterprises to identify problems in the production process in a timely manner and take corresponding improvement measures.
3. Quality control and improvement: Through the printing quality traceability system, enterprises can accurately control and manage the production process. By comparing the production data and quality inspection results of different batches of products, enterprises can find weak links and potential problems in the production process, so as to improve the quality in a targeted manner.
Results
By establishing a print quality traceability system and introducing an industrial IoT gateway for data collection and transmission, the company has achieved the following results:
1. The pass rate of product quality has increased by 10%, reducing the rate of defective products and customer complaints.
2. Establish a perfect printing quality traceability system to improve the company's product quality management and control capabilities.
3. Customer satisfaction improvement: Customer satisfaction has been significantly improved due to the improvement of product quality stability and traceability. The increased trust of customers in the product further promotes the business development of the enterprise.
4. Production process optimization: Through the traceability and analysis of production data, the company has found the bottlenecks and waste links in the production process, and carried out targeted optimization. This further improves production efficiency and reduces production costs.
Through the establishment of the printing quality traceability system, the application of the industrial Internet of Things gateway in quality management is demonstrated. Through real-time data collection and cloud storage, enterprises can trace the production process and key parameters of products, and achieve accurate quality control and management. This case highlights the critical role of IIoT gateways in improving product quality and customer satisfaction.
