  • Publication number: 20200201304
    Abstract: Systems and processes herein may be configured to correlate manufacturing parameters and performance feedback parameters with individual absorbent articles manufactured by a converting apparatus. Embodiments of the systems herein may include inspection sensors configured to inspect substrates and/or component parts advancing along the converting line and communicate inspection parameters to a controller and historian. The systems may also include process sensors configured to monitor equipment on the converting line and communicate process parameters to the controller and historian. The systems herein may also be adapted to receive performance feedback parameters based on the packaged absorbent articles. The systems may correlate inspection parameters, process parameters, and/or performance feedback parameters with individual absorbent articles produced on the converting line. The controller may also be configured to perform various functions based on the performance feedback parameters.

  • Publication number: 20020069044
    Abstract: Computer apparatuses and processes for analyzing a system are provided. The apparatuses and processes incorporate steps of collecting data from a first system, wherein the first system has a plurality of failure modes and the data relates to the failure modes, parameterizing the data for use in a simulation of a second system, and executing a simulation of the second system. The step of executing the simulation also includes determining whether the second system will encounter a first false start event based upon the data collected from the first system.
