Method for the quality control and/or tracking of an injection molded part produced in a production cycle using at least one processing machine of the plastic processing industry and a plastic processing facility, in which production devices or stations arranged upstream or downstream are connected together via a network. Each individual injection molded part or a specified number of injection molded parts is assigned a quality value composed of multiple quality values in that each device or station in the production chain ascertains or generates its own quality value and extends same by the transmitted values of each previous device or previous station and forwards same as the new quality value to the following device or following station or in that a separate collecting station, in particular a hardware and software (COQ chain of quality), requests the quality values, the device values and.or material values thereof, from the individual devices or stations or is transmitted thereto, and the collecting station puts said the values into correlation.
A method for quality control and/or follow-up of an injection-molded part produced in a production cycle with preferably at least one processing machine of the plastics-processing industry, as well as upstream and/or downstream production resources or devices or stations, for example reservoirs or hoppers for a material, in particular granules, granule dryers, material distributors metering devices, temperature control units, flow controllers, robots and/or camera systems and/or measuring devices for quality control, which are interconnected preferably via a network, wherein each individual injection-molded part or a specific number, in particular a batch, of injection-molded parts is assigned a quality contribution consisting of a plurality of quality contributions, where each device or station in the production chain determines or generates its own quality contribution, consisting of a device contribution and/or material contribution and extends the same with the transmitted quality contribution(s) of the respectively upstream devices or predecessor stations, respectively, and forwards this as a new quality contribution to the downstream device (31) or downstream station, or wherein a separate collecting station, in particular a hardware and software Chain of Quality, queries the quality contributions, in particular their device contributions and/or material contributions, from the individual devices, or stations or sends the same to them, and the collecting station correlates these.
