Hit Takt. Hold Tolerance.
Pass the Audit.
Continuous monitoring for the cells that build the cars — SPC at takt, robot cycle health, stamping tonnage curves, weld-cell parameters, and IATF 16949 audit evidence in one platform.
One avoided customer warranty event ($50,000+) pays for years of monitoring.
Built for IATF 16949 Realities
Tier 1 and Tier 2 plants live and die by SPC, takt, and audit evidence. The platform is wired around those three things.
Tight-tolerance SPC, live.
Cp, Cpk, and Ppk computed in real time per characteristic, per station, per shift. Trend-rule and Western-Electric violations alert before scrap leaves the cell.
Takt-time enforcement.
Cycle time logged per part at every station. Drift over takt triggers an alert with the bottleneck station identified — not just a generic line slowdown.
IATF 16949 audit-ready.
Process FMEA links to live alerts, control plans link to actual SPC limits, and the customer-specific records (CSRs) export as a single audit package on demand.
Robot cycle health.
Joint torque, cycle time, payload, and weld-cell parameters streamed off FANUC, KUKA, ABB, and Yaskawa controllers. Cross-brand fleet view in one dashboard.
Stamping press tonnage curves.
Tonnage signature per stroke, captured and compared to learned baselines. Die wear, slug pull, and double-blanks caught on the press, not at the inspection station.
Scrap rate per station, per shift.
Scrap pareto by station, by part number, by shift, by operator. The expensive 1% of stations driving the visible 30% of warranty cost stop hiding.
Built Around Stations, Not Servers.
Your engineers talk in stamping presses, weld cells, robot stations, and operator stations. Dashboards mirror that — drill into a single station, see its tonnage curves, weld parameters, and SPC charts without 12 clicks.
Your quality team runs control plans, PFMEAs, and MSAs. Each row in the control plan can link to the live data that proves the characteristic is in control. Audits become demonstrations, not document archaeology.
Your maintenance team gets predictive signals: bearing wear on the press eccentric, joint torque drift on the robot, weld-tip wear rate. Planned downtime windows replace unplanned 4 a.m. callouts.
Common Questions From Plant Engineers
How does this fit a customer-specific PPAP package?
Control plans, process FMEAs, MSA studies, and capability studies all link to live data. When the customer asks for proof of process control on PSO 12 character X, you point at the live trend, not last quarter's spreadsheet.
Will this slow down my line?
No. We're read-only on the SCADA / control side by default. Sensors are passive (current clamps, vibration, accelerometers, weld-arc monitoring) and run on their own LoRaWAN/Modbus path. Nothing we do touches the safety PLC.
We use Plex / IQMS / SAP for MES — does this replace it?
No. We sit alongside your MES and feed it cleaner, real-time data. Where Plex tracks production by part number, we track the underlying machine signals that explain WHY a part number ran 10% over takt today.
How fast is SPC in our cell environment?
Sub-second from sensor to chart for high-rate processes (welding, stamping). Statistical computations run at the edge so your customer-portal control charts stay live even when the cell network has a hiccup.
What about robot anomaly detection across brands?
We normalize FANUC, KUKA, ABB, Yaskawa, and UR data into a common asset schema. Joint health, cycle time, and payload comparisons work across brands. One alarm taxonomy, one dashboard, one root-cause workflow.
