Systems and methods for identifying, tracking and exploiting per station
information from a multiple repeat manufacturing device used in
connection with a web converting manufacturing process such as that used
for manufacturing disposable absorbent garments. Some of the disclosed
embodiments include relating inspection data, such as product (or
process) attribute data, to data from other manufacturing-related
systems. Also disclosed are systems and methods for linking product (or
process) attribute data obtained during the manufacturing process with
one or more data sources including raw material data, process setting
data, product quality data, and/or productivity data. Also disclosed are
systems and methods for identifying manufacturing set point changes and
automatically implementing such changes and automated web steering
changes based on data from one or more inspection systems.
