Integrating QC Measurement Data into Manufacturing Systems

The Internet of Things (IoT) — and in a broader sense, the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) — is the omnipresent new paradigm in manufacturing today, profoundly affecting the way manufacturers are operating or are planning to operate. Improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a key new IoT requirement and optimizing OEE necessitates accurate, up-to-date data across the entire organization including measurement and test data collected from both quality labs and directly from the manufacturing floor.
