  • Patent number: 10528039
    Abstract: In an approach to creating a press-fit force analysis, one or more computer processors retrieve a force press-fit data from a press-fit machine based on a press cycle. One or more computer processors calculate a deformation force of the press cycle based on the press-fit data and storing the deformation force. One or more computer processors create a predictive control model based on the deformation force and determine if a corrective action is required based on at least one of a raw material quality data, machine setting data, a completed lot quality data or the predictive control model. One or more computer processors determine if a corrective action is required and alert a downstream process to take the corrective action. One or more computer processors schedule a material kitting.
