Manufacturing process data collection and analytics

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• identifying a particular metric associated with execution of a manufacturing process, the particular metric evaluated in a plurality of manufacturing process sessions for at least one manufacturing process;
• identifying a particular session from the plurality of manufacturing process sessions as a baseline session, wherein at least a portion of the remaining plurality of manufacturing process sessions are to be compared to the baseline session;
• in response to identifying the particular session from the plurality of manufacturing process sessions as the baseline session, normalizing at least one of the remaining plurality of manufacturing process sessions to the baseline session based on a spatial reference to a workpiece during a manufacturing process to machine the workpiece;
• presenting, in a primary portion of a presentation area, a visualization of the values of the identified metric associated with the identified particular session;
• and
• presenting, in a secondary portion of the presentation area, visualizations of the values of the identified metric associated with at least a portion of the normalized at least one of the remaining plurality of manufacturing process sessions from the plurality of manufacturing process sessions.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a particular metric associated with execution of a manufacturing process, the particular metric evaluated in a plurality of manufacturing process sessions for at least one manufacturing process;
• identifying a particular session from the plurality of manufacturing process sessions as a baseline session, wherein at least a portion of the remaining plurality of manufacturing process sessions are to be compared to the baseline session;
• in response to identifying the particular session from the plurality of manufacturing process sessions as the baseline session, normalizing at least one of the remaining plurality of manufacturing process sessions to the baseline session based on a spatial reference to a workpiece during a manufacturing process to machine the workpiece;
• presenting, in a primary portion of a presentation area, a visualization of the values of the identified metric associated with the identified particular session;
• and
• presenting, in a secondary portion of the presentation area, visualizations of the values of the identified metric associated with at least a portion of the normalized at least one of the remaining plurality of manufacturing process sessions from the plurality of manufacturing process sessions.
