System and method for monitoring manufacturing

A computer-implemented method for monitoring manufacturing, the method comprising:

• determining a quality metric represented by machine data collected from one or more machine data sensors;
• identifying a correlation value between the machine data and environmental data collected from one or more environmental data sensors;
• determining if the correlation value exceeds a predetermined threshold value;
• if the correlation value exceeds the predetermined threshold value, reporting at least one of the correlation value and the quality metric;
• determining a trend line comprising a plurality of points representing the machine data over at least one of a period of time or a number of machine parts;
• determining an average value for the machine data;
• determining if one or more of the plurality of points on the trend line cross the average value more than a predetermined number of times;
• and
• if the one or more points cross the average value more than the predetermined number of times, initiating an alert message that the one or more points are fluctuating above or below the mean value.

A system for monitoring manufacturing, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processors and having stored therein processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine a quality metric represented by machine data collected from one or more machine data sensors;
• identify a correlation value between the machine data and environmental data collected from one or more environmental data sensors;
• determine if the correlation value exceeds a predetermined threshold value;
• if the correlation value exceeds the predetermined threshold value, report at least one of the correlation value and the quality metric;
• determine a trend line comprising a plurality of points representing the machine data over at least one of a period of time or a number of machine parts;
• determine an average value for the machine data;
• determine if one or more of the plurality of points on the trend line cross the average value more than a predetermined number of times;
• and
• if the one or more points cross the average value more than the predetermined number of times, initiate an alert message that the one or more points are fluctuating above or below the mean value.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, instruct the electronic device to:

• determine a quality metric represented by machine data collected from one or more machine data sensors;
• identify a correlation value between the machine data and environmental data collected from one or more environmental data sensors;
• determine if the correlation value exceeds a predetermined threshold value;
• if the correlation value exceeds the predetermined threshold value, report at least one of the correlation value and the quality metric;
• determine a trend line comprising a plurality of points representing the machine data over at least one of a period of time or a number of machine parts;
• determine an average value for the machine data;
• determine if one or more of the plurality of points on the trend line cross the average value more than a predetermined number of times;
• and
• if the one or more points cross the average value more than the predetermined number of times, initiate an alert message that the one or more points are fluctuating above or below the mean value.
