挑战
The Quality Manager at a privately-held metal fabrication company in the automotive and heavy equipment industry faced a critical issue. Customer and ISO procedures required the vendor to conduct periodic, destructive tests on finished products. However, inspection sheets were rarely filled in completely or accurately. Even when completed, the data was not accessible in a usable format. The inspection procedure was complex, requiring many steps, intermediate calculations, and conditional branching, making it comparable to a federal income tax form. The volume of data made it difficult to computerize, and reports often sat in a queue for six or seven weeks before being logged in a database. Reports to customers were often delayed and incomplete, rendering the data useless for process improvement. The manager envisioned a computerized system that would guide the operator through the inspection process, presenting on-screen forms identical to the printed forms the operators were used to seeing. This system aimed to eliminate math and transcription errors and speed up the process by having the operator enter data directly into a computer system.

解决方案
Hertzler Systems developed a custom data collection system using advanced web technologies that automated and controlled the inspection process. The new system, developed and fully deployed in less than a week, guides the inspector through the process and eliminates data manipulation and calculation. Users check buttons on forms or type in measurement values, and the system calculates all other values and stores the data in a database for instant analysis and reporting. This computerized system presented on-screen forms identical to the printed forms the operators were used to seeing, eliminating math and transcription errors. The system sped up the process by having the operator enter data directly into a computer system, making the data instantly accessible for reports and analysis.

Case Study
Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
Case Study
Monitoring of Pressure Pumps in Automotive Industry
A large German/American producer of auto parts uses high-pressure pumps to deburr machined parts as a part of its production and quality check process. They decided to monitor these pumps to make sure they work properly and that they can see any indications leading to a potential failure before it affects their process.
