4D.COMMANDER

From com­plex process data to the right mon­i­tor­ing configuration.

Ana­lyze process data and devel­op mon­i­tor­ing configurations.

Laser man­u­fac­tur­ing process­es quick­ly gen­er­ate large vol­umes of record­ings, sig­nals and addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion. The chal­lenge is to iden­ti­fy rel­e­vant cor­re­la­tions and use them to devel­op suit­able process mon­i­tor­ing settings. 

4D.commander brings your process data togeth­er in a cen­tral work­space and helps you struc­ture data, com­pare sig­nals, test set­tings and devel­op suit­able mon­i­tor­ing con­fig­u­ra­tions for > 4D.watch­er.

Chal­lenges

Lots of process data. Plen­ty of pos­si­bil­i­ties. But what real­ly matters? 

The process data is already avail­able. How­ev­er, as the num­ber of record­ings and chan­nels increas­es, it becomes more dif­fi­cult to derive tar­get­ed insights for process monitoring. 

Too much data, not enough clarity 

Large vol­umes of files, sig­nal curves and addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion need to be brought togeth­er in a mean­ing­ful way. 

Record­ings need structure 

To com­pare dif­fer­ent process­es, com­po­nents or anom­alies, record­ings need to be grouped in a clear and trace­able way. 

Rel­e­vant cor­re­la­tions are dif­fi­cult to identify 

With many sig­nals and chan­nels avail­able, it is not imme­di­ate­ly clear which fea­tures pro­vide the most mean­ing­ful infor­ma­tion for a spe­cif­ic process. 

Find­ing suit­able mon­i­tor­ing set­tings takes time. 

Dif­fer­ent eval­u­a­tion set­tings must be test­ed against the avail­able process data to assess their effects. 

Analy­sis and process mon­i­tor­ing need to work together 

The insights gained should not remain iso­lat­ed in the analy­sis. They should be used to improve sub­se­quent process mon­i­tor­ing in 4D.watcher.

Here’s how it works.

A struc­tured approach from process data to monitoring.

4D.com­man­der guides you step by step, from the struc­tured con­sol­i­da­tion of your process data to a usable mon­i­tor­ing con­fig­u­ra­tion for 4D.watch­er.

01 | Bring process data togeth­er in one cen­tral workspace

4D.commander brings files, record­ings, sig­nal curves and addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion togeth­er in one work­space, cre­at­ing a cen­tral foun­da­tion for fur­ther analysis.

02 | Struc­ture recordings

The Cat­e­go­riza­tion Assis­tant helps you sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly cat­e­go­rize large data sets based on exist­ing infor­ma­tion. Record­ings can be grouped by appli­ca­tion, weld type, date or known anom­alies, for example. 

03 | Com­pare sig­nals systematically

Select rel­e­vant record­ings and chan­nels and com­pare their sig­nal curves. This makes it eas­i­er to iden­ti­fy dif­fer­ences, sim­i­lar­i­ties and notable correlations.

04 | Test eval­u­a­tion settings

Eval­u­a­tion Pre­view lets you test dif­fer­ent eval­u­a­tion set­tings using exist­ing process data with­out chang­ing your cur­rent configurations.

The effects of the set­tings are dis­played imme­di­ate­ly, mak­ing it easy to com­pare the results.

05 | Devel­op suit­able mon­i­tor­ing configurations

The Eval­u­a­tion Assis­tant helps you iden­ti­fy suit­able Eval­u­a­tion Chan­nels and settings.

Select­ed ref­er­ence, OK and NOK record­ings can be ana­lyzed and dif­fer­ent sug­ges­tions com­pared. The final tech­ni­cal selec­tion and approval remain with the user.

06 | Use the results in 4D.watcher

Devel­oped Eval­u­a­tion Chan­nels and set­tings can be saved as Tem­plates and export­ed for use in 4D.watch­er.

This turns data analy­sis into a prac­ti­cal mon­i­tor­ing configuration.
