Sciemetric’s data visualization capability using digital process signatures makes it easy to rapidly compare and overlay hundreds or thousands of waveforms. Using waveform overlay, manufacturing quality engineers can quickly find trends and patterns that reveal the “how” and “why” of challenges on the production line, then test and apply refinements to set test limits or other upstream quality control benchmarks to improve quality, efficiency, and throughput.

Use the ability to compare station performance to enable:

  • Faster issue resolution
  • Reduced scrap and rework
  • Improved station setup, runoff, and validation times
  • Improved product quality consistency across lines and plants
  • And more!

How to use data comparison to make improvements on the production line

  • Compare Parallel Stations
    Ensure stations running in parallel to each other (ie. leak test stations, etc.) are performing consistently and efficiently, ensuring product quality consistency and applying lessons learned from one station to improve all others.
  • Compare Like Stations Across Facilities
    Speed up runoff on cloned stations, benchmark processes globally, and maintain standardization—whether across the plant or whole enterprise.
  • Compare and Correlate Data to Identify Upstream Problems
    Compare data from 2 stations to perform upstream root cause analysis, correlating quality issues with specific upstream processes.

  • Compare Good vs Bad Signatures for Deep Analysis 
    Using waveform overlays, quickly identify what "good" looks like and trace the root cause of failures—diagnose causes, fine-tune test limits, and make changes to prevent repeat defects.
  • Compare Test Outcomes and Optimize
    Test new limits or settings with historical data to validate changes without production risk—make data-driven decisions and eliminate guesswork.

Case Study: Manufacturer compares data from leak test stations to boost throughput, reduce bottlenecks

Manufacturing lines often feature multiple leak test stations to meet throughput requirements. Upon review of the waveform data, it was evident that Leak Tester #1 was performing more effectively than Leak Tester #2. The first leak tester reached fill and stabilization 1.7x faster than the second. Applying the lessons learned from the first test to the second would eliminate the common leak test production issue of bottlenecks and reduce the number of leak test stations required—not to mention lead to a greater repeatability leak test, improving product quality.
