Solving plant challenges · Machining

Know when to check a tool before quality drifts.

Dimensions vary while machining the same product. Different shifts use different replacement criteria, risking premature disposal or late detection.

Machining

Data connections, decision rules and approved actions are designed for your equipment and operating criteria.

The production flow

Identify material lot → Machine the part → Inspect dimensions

01 · NAZARE

Connect data

NAZARE connects spindle load, cycle and tool history to material lots and dimensional inspection records.

NAZAREMachining · Equipment signal analysis

02 · NAZARE · Ontology

Capture operating criteria

Capture tool–feature–dimension relationships, material-specific replacement criteria, normal loads and exceptions confirmed with operators.

03 · NAVIS

Assess causes & actions

NAVIS compares load and dimension changes, presenting evidence for material changes or tool wear as possible causes.

  • Execute with approval — The supervisor approves inspection and a hold on the next cycle. NAZARE requests the permitted hold through the PLC; an operator replaces the tool.
  • Verify results — Check dimensions and load after the change, then retain the replacement reason and inspection result.
NAVISMachining · Investigation & approval plan

↶ Keep verified outcomes and actions in NAZARE to inform the next decision.

Machine safety circuits, interlocks and operating procedures remain in place. Control requires approval and verified communication, permissions and equipment state. ML models can be added under a separate scope.

What operators and managers can assess

Operators

Inspect consistently across shifts.

Management & production leads

Compare tooling cost with quality losses.

Measures to validate in a pilot

  • Unplanned downtime
  • Good parts per tool
  • Dimensional rejects

Establish a baseline and compare under matching product and operating conditions. Outcomes depend on data quality and site conditions.

What we confirm first

Confirm available signals, product and lot links, operating criteria, approvers and permitted controls. Ingkle experts structure know-how as ontology in NAZARE using field interviews and proprietary tools.
