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:
• receiving real time data via a real time interface of a data collection system associated with a manufacturing process session, the real time data associated with a counter value assigned by a precision counter associated with an automation system;
• storing the received real time data in a storage buffer;
• receiving non-real time data via a non-real time interface of the data collection system, the non-real time data associated with a counter value assigned by the precision counter associated with the automation system;
• and
• in response to receiving the non-real time data and based on a determination that a start condition has been satisfied indicating that the real time data and the non-real time data are being captured as part of the manufacturing process session:
• searching the storage buffer for stored real time data associated with a matching counter value to the counter value associated with the received non-real time data;
• in response to identifying the stored real time data associated with the matching counter value, associating the non-real time data with the real time data based on the matching counter value;
• and
• generating at least one data package including at least one set of real time data and non-real time data associated with matching counter values.

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

• receiving real time data via a real time interface of a data collection system associated with a manufacturing process session, the real time data associated with a counter value assigned by a precision counter associated with an automation system;
• storing the received real time data in a storage buffer;
• receiving non-real time data via a non-real time interface of the data collection system, the non-real time data associated with a counter value assigned by the precision counter associated with the automation system;
• and
• in response to receiving the non-real time data and based on a determination that a start condition has been satisfied indicating that the real time data and the non-real time data are being captured as part of the manufacturing process session:
• searching the storage buffer for stored real time data associated with a matching counter value to the counter value associated with the received non-real time data;
• in response to identifying the stored real time data associated with the matching counter value, associating the non-real time data with the real time data based on the matching counter value;
• and
• generating at least one data package including at least one set of real time data and non-real time data associated with matching counter values.
