告別製造業的資訊孤島 — QIF：打造無縫接軌的數位品質流程
The official name of QIF is ISO 23952: 2020 Automation Systems and Integration – Quality Information Framework (QIF) – An Integrated Model for Manufacturing Quality Information; this standard was originally initiated by the US NIST, a quality standard developed by DMSC and audited by ANSI. , officially became the new ISO standard in July 2020. QIF is based on Model Based Definition (MBD) and XML architecture to establish a set of quality information framework for product production stages that connects design, manufacturing, measurement and quality management. Based on the principles of MBD, the definition of all information models is based on the definition of product design CAD models to define and track subsequent workflows; through the XML language, which is widely supported by various computer systems, obstacles in the transmission process of information models are eliminated. , to ensure that the MBD quality process can be completed smoothly. Simply put, the QIF MBD process not only ensures that product definition information is smoothly transmitted to each station in the product production process, but is also responsible for integrating and transmitting information from each station back to the units in need, which will be of great help to management and quality improvement.
Promote cross-departmental collaboration to improve quality
Since the QIF information framework connects design, manufacturing, measurement and quality analysis work, in the QIF MBD quality workflow, these four departments will no longer operate independently, but will need to be collaborative teams that interact closely with each other. Promote the improvement of quality capabilities.
Promote quality workflow automation
There are two major challenges in the automation of quality processes: measurement plan setting and complete data recording. The former traditionally requires experienced staff to interpret and set up product definition (PMI), while the latter is hindered by different file formats and storage media; by using QIF MBD, we can ensure that the product definition is measured by the software of the system ( Such as the CMM system) can correctly interpret, and can also automatically record measurement settings and results, improve the automation of work processes, and reduce the burden on on-site personnel.
Supply chain quality management
Checking the quality of outsourced production components is a major challenge for brand manufacturers and system manufacturers. Through the QIF information framework, we can fully understand the quality process of contractors, thereby helping contractors improve their capabilities and ensure product quality.
The best choice for Industry 4.0 digital transformation
In the process of digital transformation, whether it is establishing digital workflows, big data analysis or even building AI models, complete data is required. QIF can provide complete quality data and digital thread (Digital Thread) of the product production process, allowing you to use data more effectively to achieve the goal of digital transformation.
不再為製造資訊不相容而煩惱：導入QIF的效益
The QIF standard provides an information model framework, based on the MBD method, through which the quality work information of the product manufacturing process such as product models and definitions, measurement planning, statistical analysis and result recording are integrated. Through QIF's information framework, we can not only provide work instructions to subsequent stations, but also completely record complete information at each stage of the product quality process as a basis for quality improvement analysis and cross-department coordination discussions. Simply put, the QIF standard can bring the following benefits to enterprises:
