Monitoring system is key for automotive entry-system supplier

摘要

"Automotive customers can be demanding," says Keith Bagley, process engineer for Huf North America, (Milwaukee, WI). "They insist on quality and it's our job to deliver. To do that, we've got to eliminate the process variability that causes defects. Then we need to recognize immediately when there's a problem and prevent potentially faulty parts from getting through to the customer. If the customer ever does identify an issue, we need to be able to determine whether it is the fault of the molding process and, if it is, we've got to be able to pinpoint the cause and fix it. And, we've got to do all this while staying productive and profitable."
