About Customer	Saint-Gobain Velimat Polska Sp. z o.o. is a member of the Saint-Gobain Group, the world leader in design, manufacture, and distribution of building materials that provide innovative solutions reflecting market concerns for energy savings and environmental safety. Ranked among the Financial Times’ 2012 “Top 100 Industrial Groups in the World,” Saint-Gobain continuously develops its technological expertise in cooperation with many prestigious universities and research labs. Located in Gorlice, Poland, Saint-Gobain Velimat Polska manufactures and sells woven fiberglass fabrics and knits for the construction industry, such as acoustic insulation, exterior wall coverings, insect-proof nets, decorative coatings, surface finishing and reinforcement, bases/warps for asphalt tar paper, and anti-corrosion coating.

Solution	StatSoft Polska designed the system’s central database to provide for specific manufacturing requirements. In the system, the process quality data is collected from two sources: from the lab and from the automatic meters that have been installed at the production lines. Due to this new, customized solution that provides real-time access to the quality readings, the personnel responsible for quality on the shop floor can now monitor variations of key product parameters on the Shewhart control charts directly after measurements have been recorded. Additionally, the process parameters data is introduced to the engineer’s level for tracking the dependency between product quality and process set-points. Read More Log in to view content

Solution

StatSoft Polska designed the system’s central database to provide for specific manufacturing requirements. In the system, the process quality data is collected from two sources: from the lab and from the automatic meters that have been installed at the production lines. Due to this new, customized solution that provides real-time access to the quality readings, the personnel responsible for quality on the shop floor can now monitor variations of key product parameters on the Shewhart control charts directly after measurements have been recorded. Additionally, the process parameters data is introduced to the engineer’s level for tracking the dependency between product quality and process set-points.

Impact #1	Key product parameters can now be monitored in real-time both on the shop floor and at the engineer’s level.
Impact #2	STATISTICA facilitates better recognition of process dependencies that impact product quality.
Impact #3	STATISTICA provides improved reporting that correlates production parameters across arbitrary time periods.
