Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing production-related data in the series production of produced objects, especially motor vehicles, according to which production-related data is recorded in at least a part of the production steps of the series production process. The inventive method is characterised in that images of defective sites on the produced objects are recorded with a camera and in that during the production process, the recorded images are transmitted to at least one central device. The inventive method provides a rapid, simple and comfortable means of documenting defects in produced objects. The recorded images and production-related data that may be optionally added to these images are already available at the central device and can be evaluated at a time when the produced object is still in the production process. This facilitates the planning of refinishing considerably, which in turn saves time and reduces costs.

Abstract: Method for providing manufacturing-related data in the large-scale production of manufactured objects, in particular, automobiles, includes a data collecting device assigned to each manufactured object, with manufacturing-related data being input into the data collecting device at least in a part of the manufacturing sections of the large-scale production, and with the data being transmitted at least partially by the corresponding data collecting device to one central device during manufacturing. Manufacturing-related data consequently are made centrally available in the central device and can be used for planning possibly required subsequent work. The planning of subsequent work consequently can be carried out when the manufactured object is still located in the manufacturing process. This considerably simplifies the planning of subsequent work and makes it possible to save time and lower costs.
