Service № 06 · Digital TQM

Total Quality Management,
woven into the line.

From inbound material to finished product to field-return, we benchmark your quality system, then engineer a unified AI-powered quality fabric — vision inspection, statistical process control, root-cause discovery, and closed-loop adjustment — designed for zero-defect aspiration and audit-ready evidence.

Advisory + Solution Engineering

Where this practice moves the needle.

Most quality systems are fragmented — vision in inspection cells, SPC in MES, complaint data in CRM, lab results in LIMS. Our Digital TQM practice unifies these into a single quality fabric: every defect, every measurement, every complaint linked back to the lot, the line, the operator, the supplier, and the conditions that produced it.

For variable processes — extrusion, coating, machining, baking — we close the loop: vision and gauge feedback drives continuous parameter adjustment, holding tolerance with a fraction of the variation of human-tuned operation. The result is fewer rejects, less rework, and a quality system that gets better with every shift.

Core capabilities

What we build and deploy.

A working catalogue of the systems, models, and platforms our engineers ship within this practice — selected for industrial reliability, observability, and scale.

VI
Vision inspection

Defect detection, surface, dimensional, and assembly verification at line speed using deep-learning CV.

SP
Statistical process control

Modern SPC with multivariate control, dynamic limits, and change-point detection on streaming data.

RC
Root-cause discovery

AI-driven RCA across thousands of process parameters surfaces non-obvious defect drivers human teams miss.

CL
Closed-loop control

Real-time setpoint adjustment using vision and gauge feedback to hold tolerance on variable processes.

GN
Genealogy & traceability

End-to-end product genealogy linking raw material, process, finished good, and field outcome.

SQ
Supplier quality

Inbound quality intelligence, certificate-of-analysis automation, and supplier scorecards driven by performance data.

Use cases

Where this earns its place.

Representative deployments across our industrial client base. Each grounded in production engineering — not concept slides.

01
Vision
Surface-defect detection on continuous web

Line-scan cameras + CNN models on paper, foil, film, and steel coil lines detect scratches, holes, inclusions, color deviations at full line speed with continual learning.

02
Assembly
3D vision and assembly verification

Multi-camera stereo and structured-light systems verify presence, orientation, and dimensions of assemblies — replacing manual final inspection.

03
Process
Multivariate SPC with change-point detection

Modern multivariate control across hundreds of parameters with automated change-point detection — flags subtle drift weeks before classical SPC limits trigger.

04
RCA
AI-driven root-cause analysis on field returns

Linking field-failure patterns back to manufacturing genealogy reveals which combinations of supplier, line, shift, and parameters produce failure-prone units.

05
Closed-loop
Vision-driven coating-thickness control

Inline thickness measurement feeds RL controllers that adjust application rate in real time, maintaining tolerance with a fraction of legacy PID variation.

06
Supplier
Inbound material AI inspection

Vision and spectral analysis at goods-receipt detects out-of-spec inbound materials, automatically holds lots, feeds supplier scorecards in real time.

07
Lab
AI-augmented laboratory result interpretation

Generative-AI assistants help QC chemists triage out-of-trend results, draft investigations, and flag drift across lots, reducing release-cycle time.

08
Audit
Audit-ready quality documentation automation

Auto-compiled batch records, deviation reports, and CAPA files with AI drafting assistance — designed to pass FDA, EMA, and ISO audits.
