Patent number: 11275362Abstract: Methods and systems of identifying a time reduction in a manufacturing time associated with a plurality of products. One system includes an electronic processor configured to receive training data. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a first set of testing parameters from the plurality of testing parameters to remove for the assembly line based on the training data and determine a second set of testing parameters to keep by removing the first set of testing parameters from the plurality of testing parameters. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a predictive model to replace the first set of testing parameters based on the training data associated with the second set of testing parameters, and automatically update a testing process for the assembly line to turn off the first set of testing parameters and use the predictive model in place of the first set of testing parameters.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Rumi Ghosh, Soundararajan Srinivasan, Ruobing Chen, Shan Kang, Marc Naumann, Mahesh Goud Tandarpally

Patent number: 10990092Abstract: Methods and systems of identifying a time reduction in a manufacturing time associated with a plurality of products. One system includes an electronic processor configured to receive a dataset associated with an assembly line. The dataset includes a classification for each of the plurality of products produced by the assembly line, where the assembly line is associated with a plurality of tests. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a set of test combinations for the assembly line based on the plurality of tests and, for each test combination, determine a number of missing products based on the classification for each of the plurality of products. The electronic processor is also configured to determine at least one test to remove based on the number of missing products for each test combination and output a result including an indication of the at least one test to remove.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Rumi Ghosh, Soundararajan Srinivasan, Ruobing Chen, Shan Kang, Marc Naumann, Mahesh Goud Tandarpally

Patent number: 10962954Abstract: A manufacturing process system comprises any number of assembly stations and test stations, a model unit, and any number of final products is provided. Any of a sample test method and the statistical distribution monitoring method performed by the model unit is configured to monitor the model quality after it is deployed and reduce potential unnecessary costs, such as warranty claim costs as a result of sending bad units to the customers, and rework costs as a result of predicting a good part as bad and wasting additional testing efforts on the bad parts. Further, both methods are configured to maximize the probability of detecting hazardous issues, while having control of the false alarm rate.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Ruobing Chen, Shan Kang, Rumi Ghosh, Soundar Srinivasan, Zubin Abraham
