Line Operations

Run production with confidence

See issues before they become defects. Clear alerts, simple screens and fast actions keep the line flowing.

AI-driven Line Operations

Key Advantages

  • Instant alerts: intervene before defects multiply.
  • Simple, role-based UI: quick to learn, easy to trust.
  • Action guidance: Stop / Check / Resume with confidence.
  • Less stress, fewer reworks.

Common Challenges

  • Defects discovered late leading to scrap accumulation.
  • Busy screens and unclear messages.
  • Stop–start pressure and communication gaps.

How Digiforming Helps

Defect Prevention
  • Early warnings using draw-in and contour analysis.

  • Role-based thresholds and filters to reduce false alarm rate.

Damage Prevention
  • Safe stop in risk conditions with safety-chain alignment.

Operator HMI
  • Only what matters on one screen.

  • Automatic logs for feedback and training.

Expected Impact & KPIs

Fewer defect parts
Unplanned Downtime Reduction
Lower false positive rate

Frequently Asked Questions

How will I know if a part is about to tear or wrinkle during pressing?

With Defect Prevention, the system continuously monitors contour shifts using cameras inside the press. It warns you if a part is approaching tearing or wrinkling, giving you real-time guidance on tonnage adjustments.

Will I get false alarms during normal production?

+

AI-driven anomaly detection defines dynamic thresholds based on normal process behavior, so nuisance alarms are minimized and only real risks are flagged.

What happens if a tool or object is accidentally left on the blank before pressing?

+

Damage Prevention detects foreign objects on the blank and stops the press before a stroke, preventing accidents and tool damage.

Do I need to manually monitor the contour data during shifts?

+

No. The AI model continuously monitors contour profiles and alerts you only when deviations exceed safe thresholds. Operators just need to follow the on-screen guidance.

Can I see warnings directly on my HMI?

+

Yes. Operator HMIs display only relevant alarms and tonnage suggestions generated by AI analysis, so you can react quickly without complex data interpretation.

Does the system interfere with my routine work?

+

No. Cameras and AI anomaly detection run in the background. You only see clear instructions when action is needed, ensuring smooth workflow.
