FLEXIBLE PROCESS OPTIMIZER

摘要

A flexible process optimizer for recording and analyzing various parameters to improve the efficiency of a production process. The flexible process optimiz er acquires and conditions signals from a variety of transducers mounted on a production machine. Through qualitative and quantitative data analysis, specific aspects are of the production process which need improvement are identified. The qualitative evaluation looks at the presence, absence, or duration of certain features of the production cycle as revealed by the sens or data. The quantitative evaluation of data involves the computation of certai n data attributes. By providing useful data acquisition and data analysis tool s, necessary adjustments are made to the required parameters of the production process to provide improved efficiency. The results of the changes are immediately verifiable using the flexible process optimizer.
