IGear’s ASSIST Industry 4.0 Software helps ensure zero defects in your manufacturing process by employing smart technology to detect errors and prevent defective products from leaving the plant. It’s a highly configurable and flexible process-control and traceability platform that provides a proven method for controlling the quality and performance of production processes.

 

ASSIST affords you the ability to verify that standardized operator or machine work instructions are consistently executed by recording a traceable genealogy of all work sequences, component parts, and cycle times, along with the operator actions and machine events involved within each value-added work center in the overall manufacturing process. 
 

ASSIST also provides capabilities to error proof each work center process by interlocking part production to ensure potential quality defects are quickly identified and addressed at the point at which they occur.  This permission-to-run acknowledgement between ASSIST and each machine control system ensures that the correct part type is being run, the part being run has not skipped any prior operations, and the part being run was not previously rejected as a bad product.

 

Through integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, ASSIST automates the broadcast of production schedules, bill-of-material information, and part/recipe specifications to the factory floor while also providing real-time inventory status information back to the ERP system.
