Patent number: 12541194Abstract: In order to provide a method for analysing quality deficiencies of workpieces, preferably vehicle bodies and/or vehicle attachment parts, in particular after and/or whilst passing through a production process in industrial-method plants, preferably after and/or whilst passing through a painting process in painting plants, by means of which method quality deficiencies can be avoided and/or by means of which method quality deficiency causes in the production process can be determined, avoided and/or remedied, it is proposed in accordance with the invention that the method comprises the following steps: creating a workpiece-specific data set, uniquely assigned to a workpiece, at the start of a production process, in particular at the start of a painting process and/or creating a workpiece-carrier-specific data set, uniquely assigned to a workpiece carrier, at the start of a production process, in particular at the start of a painting process; supplementing the workpiece-specific data set while a workpiece isType: GrantFiled: April 29, 2020Date of Patent: February 3, 2026Assignee: Dürr Systems AGInventors: Simon Alt, Jan-Philipp Schuh, Ralf Schurer, Markus Hummel, Jens Berner, Jens Häcker, Thomas Hezel, Frank Herre, Michael Zabel, Dietmar Wieland, Philipp Oetinger, Robin Heim

Patent number: 11089636Abstract: A network connectivity mode is activated at a vehicle during which an on-board wireless LAN interface and an on-board wireless WAN interface are collectively operated in a higher-power consumption state with respect to a set of on-board batteries to collectively support communications between one or more LAN-side client devices and one or more WAN-side network resources. Operation of the vehicle entering a predefined operating state is detected, and in response thereto, the network connectivity mode is deactivated after a period of time during which the on-board wireless LAN interface and the on-board wireless WAN interface are collectively operated in a lower-power consumption state with respect to the set of on-board batteries and communications are discontinued between the one or more LAN-side client devices and the one or more WAN-side network resources via the on-board wireless LAN interface and the on-board wireless WAN interface.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: MOJ.IO, Inc.Inventor: Markus Hummel
