Challenge:
Medium-Sized Automobile Part Manufacturer was facing challenges with the welding of the automobile parts they sell to some of the big brands in the automobile industry. The company was producing high-quality parts, but they were not consistently achieving high-quality welds. The company wanted to implement manufacturing process optimization using machine learning to improve the quality of their welds given they had a huge amount of data coming from different sensors.
The Manufacturing Process Optimization Using Machine Learning Process
The manufacturing process optimization using the machine learning process began with a team of engineers analyzing and cleaning data on the welding process already available coming from multiple different sensors across the factory. The sensor data included lots of missing information, outlier values, high correlation features on the welding parameters, etc. Some of the features included welding current, voltage, travel speed, etc. It also included information on the quality of the welds, such as the presence of defects and the strength of the welds.
We used the cleaned data to train a machine-learning model. The model was trained to identify patterns in the data that could be used to optimize the welding process. Once the model was trained, it was used to make recommendations for improving the welding process. The recommendations included changes to the welding parameters, such as the welding current and voltage. They also included changes to the welding process, such as the use of different welding techniques.
The Results of Manufacturing Process Optimization
The results of manufacturing process optimization using machine learning were significant. The company was able to achieve consistently high-quality welds, and they were able to reduce the number of defects in their welds. The company also saw a reduction in the number of reworks and rejects, which saved them money.
