Digital real-time feedback of quality-related information to inspection and installation areas of vehicle assembly

The article presents an information technology model for the transparent feedback of quality-related information on the vehicle assembly production process in real time. This system integrates huge amounts of heterogeneous data sets, gathered through quality gates in the assembly line, to provide new user-focused information for controlling production quality. All information is prepared to cater to the specific needs of three different types of users and then reported back via four levels of quality feedback to the recipients as a defect occurrence in quality. This ensures that quality-related process information is provided immediately as essential to make progress towards achieving first-time quality and improving production quality.
