Production quality control through a user-oriented and characteristic-based quality visualization model

This paper presents a quality visualization model as a method for user-oriented quality visualization. Existing models show the lack of sufficient visualization, monitoring and evaluation of the quality situation regarding different requirements of manufacturers for quality control. In this model, the quality of an object is represented through a layer via the object-specific quality characteristics. Enriched through tolerance limits, this method leads to a simple visualization of quality as well as enables cluster analysis and benchmark analysis. Moreover, the application opportunities in vehicle assembly are shown. The main benefit of this method is to increase the level of production efficiency.
