Solving plant challenges · Press

Narrow down forming defects using die and material records.

Press load changes without a machine alarm. Production, maintenance and quality records are separate, slowing checks on material variation or die condition.

01 · NAZARE

Connect data

Connect strokes, load curves and machine states with material lots, die usage, maintenance and inspection results.

NAZAREPress · Equipment signal analysis

02 · NAZARE · Ontology

Capture operating criteria

Structure part–die–material relationships, normal load ranges by part, die inspection criteria and checks for each defect type.

NAZAREPress · Manufacturing ontology

03 · NAVIS

Assess causes & actions

NAVIS compares previous runs of the same part, aligning material changes, load trends and die history to prioritize inspection.

  • Execute with approval — The supervisor approves holding the next cycle and inspecting the die. NAZARE requests the permitted PLC hold; the team receives a check list.
  • Verify results — After inspection, compare load curves and first-piece quality for the supervisor’s restart decision.
NAVISPress · 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

See the check sequence for each defect.

Management & production leads

Link quality losses to die maintenance priorities.

Measures to validate in a pilot

  • Forming reject rate
  • Investigation time
  • Recurrence after die inspection

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.
