Abstract
A web manufacturing process includes recording, onto an excess trim region of a web that is a subject of the web manufacturing process, information relating to a processing stage of the web manufacturing process.
Claims18
A method of a web manufacturing process, comprising:
- recording, onto an excess trim region of a web that is a subject of the web manufacturing process, information relating to a first processing stage of the web manufacturing process;
- determining, based on reading the recorded information, a corrective action to take with respect to an issue indicated by the recorded information;
- and
- receiving parameter data from a sensor associated with the first processing stage, wherein the recorded information is based on the parameter data, and where the parameter data includes a measured parameter that relates to manufacturing processing performed by the first processing stage.
1 more element
A web manufacturing system comprising:
- web manufacturing infrastructure having a plurality of processing stages to apply corresponding manufacturing processes on a web,
- wherein a first of the plurality of processing stages is to record information relating to a quality issue onto an excess trim region of the web, wherein the first processing stage is to further record parameter data onto the excess trim region of the web, where the parameter data relates to a parameter of a manufacturing processing performed by the first processing stage, the parameter measured by a sensor of the first processing stage, and
- wherein a second of the plurality of processing stages is to perform a corrective action in response to the recorded information to address the quality issue.
A first web manufacturing processing stage comprising:
- a sensor to measure parameter data relating to at least one parameter of a manufacturing process to be performed by the first web manufacturing processing stage with respect to a web;
- a printer to record, onto an excess trim region of the web, information relating to the measured parameter data and information pertaining to a quality issue associated with the web;
- a reader to read recorded information in the excess trim region of the web as recorded by a second web manufacturing processing stage, wherein the read recorded information is based on parameter data measured by a sensor of the second web manufacturing processing stage that relates to a manufacturing process performed by the second web manufacturing processing stage;
- and
- a mechanism to determine a corrective action based on the read recorded information.
