Manufacturing Data Security, Trustiness and Traceability

European manufacturing companies collect a large amount of data during their manufacturing processes thanks to the increasing use of sensors, actuators and instruments. This amount of data is very valuable for improving manufacturing quality, with a view to the Zero Defects objective. In order to take full advantage of the vast amount of accumulated data, quality must be targeted, and its Security, Trustiness and Traceability must be preserved. Data quality is influenced by several factors: including human errors, communication problems or inaccuracies, so any system used must be sufficiently reliable. This paper describes the technical approach to develop solutions to control manufacturing Data Security, Trustiness and Traceability with a zero-defect approach and provided by the i4Q project. The approach is exemplified with the industrial production line of injected plastic spare parts for the automotive sector.
