Method and apparatus for monitoring a cyclic manufacturing process

A computing system, the computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a computer-readable memory, wherein the computer-readable memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• receiving a temporal sequence of sensor data associated with a production machine performing the cyclic production process for at least one product during a first cycle, wherein a plurality of parameters of the production machine are set according to current machine setting data;
• generating production point data based on the temporal sequence of sensor data associated with an injection mold machine performing the cyclic production process of at least one product during a first cycle;
• comparing the production point data to a mean value of stability to generate a stability value for the first cycle, wherein the mean value of stability is determined based on an evaluation of previous cycles of the cyclic production;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the stability value does not exceed a threshold stability value, transmitting instructions to update at least one setting parameter of the production machine before performing a second cycle of the cyclic production process.
