Patent number: 11610273Abstract: A cloud-based process stream analysis and grading engine for manufacturing and business applications. As a module contained within a comprehensive manufacturing quality suite, the grading engine functions are divided into two stages. For each unique part/process/feature data stream, Stage one automatically generates and stores a daily statistical summary record. These records are summarized from millions of raw data values fed into the engine across thousands of process streams. Stage two, the grading function, compares a user-specified time bounded analysis of each stream's summary history to the respective engineering specifications, resulting in a concatenated dual character gradeāa letter and a number. There are a total of nine possible grade outcomes (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, and C3). The ABC portion of the grade ranks the Yield Potential. The 123 portion ranks the Yield Performance.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: InfinityQS International, Inc.Inventor: Michael A. Lyle
