“Smart Production” is often understood as a strategy that involves tracking relevant data from a running production process, to use artificial intelligence algorithms to determine optimal process windows and deriving control strategies to make sure that production operations remain inside the “zero failure” process domain. Before production can start, however, stamping processes are designed, engineered, and digitally validated by process engineers investing their expertise and knowhow. So, when production starts, a vast amount of relevant engineering knowhow and data has already been generated which can be leveraged to accelerate production rampup and to strive for zero-failure production. This is what is called “Smart Engineering”. This presentation explores how smart production and smart engineering can support each other, by combining the smart engineering approach with real-life press-shop production monitoring data to optimize press shop production operations.
