Technological advancements in the manufacturing industry have made it possible to identify and rectify errors early in the production process, long before the products reach customers. Real-time error correction uses advanced data collection and analytics and frontline factory workers’ active participation to correct errors in real-time.

Industry 4.0, also known as the fourth industrial revolution, is characterized by increased automation, advanced analytics, cutting-edge robotics, and devices connected through the Internet of Things (IoT).

During their day-to-day work, frontline factory workers handle a variety of complex workflows. These multi-step tasks often require extreme precision and attention to detail to meet quality standards. Still, frontline work is also fast-paced and driven by a sense of urgency to meet business goals and bring products to market as quickly as possible.

Increasingly, organizations provide frontline workers with digital tools designed to help them perform their roles. These tools empower workers with real-time information to improve their communication, productivity, and safety while working on the plant floor. Frontline workers who use digital tools to help them perform their roles at work are known as “connected frontline workers.”

Predictive quality analytics refers to the process of collecting and analyzing data to predict future outcomes based on past patterns and trends. Digital transformation is the hallmark of Industry 4.0, and leveraging predictive quality analytics has become a critical component of quality management in manufacturing. It is also a key way for manufacturers to gain and maintain a competitive edge.

Quality management in manufacturing has changed significantly over the past few decades. As a result, today many manufacturers are using AI and machine learning to address long-standing quality issues.

AI and machine learning innovations are reshaping the quality management approach in manufacturing. Quality management in manufacturing is evolving from a reactive process to a proactive one, and you can use these technologies to embed quality throughout the manufacturing value chain, drive continuous improvement and optimize quality in your organization.
