  • Patent number: 7324862
    Abstract: Various items of data collected at different process steps are associated on production sites where traceability is hard to conduct. A quality control apparatus controls a manufacturing process in order to manufacture products of predetermined quality, including a data storing part which collects measurement data measured by multiple devices disposed in a manufacturing process and stores the collected measurement data along with measured time or collected time; and a scheduler which associates the measurement data of the devices with each other in consideration of dead time generated between the devices at measured time or collected time.

  • Publication number: 20070288206
    Abstract: The present invention makes a user properly compare data before and after a change with each other. A data display system displays data based on measurement data obtained by measuring equipments. In the data display system, a data synchronizer associates synchronous data as a set of measurement data obtained from a plurality of works by the measuring equipments with each other among the measuring equipments. When manufacturing parameters of a processing equipment are changed, a data comparator obtains time of the change, estimates time of a change in measurement data of the measuring equipment next to the processing equipment on the downstream side and, using the estimated change time and the synchronous data associated with each other among the plurality of measuring equipments, generates comparison data before the change based on the measurement data before the change, and comparison data after the change based on the measurement data after the change.
