Production monitoring


LTT precision measuring devices are ideal for use in production thanks to reliable real-time monitoring for example for process monitoring in production or for non-destructive material testing

The role of measurement technology in production monitoring

Production monitoring is a central component of modern manufacturing processes. It includes all measures for the continuous monitoring of production processes to ensure quality, efficiency and adherence to deadlines. The aim is to detect deviations at an early stage so that corrective action can be taken in good time.

Measurement technology plays a key role here. By precisely recording process and product data, e.g. temperature, pressure, dimensional accuracy or surface quality, it enables an objective assessment of production quality in real time. Modern sensor technology, automated measuring systems and networked data analysis support early fault detection, traceability and process optimization.

However, measurement technology only unfolds its potential if it is used correctly. The selection of suitable measurement methods and devices is crucial, as is the integration of measurement technology into the ongoing production process. A frequent source of error is insufficiently calibrated or incorrectly positioned sensors, which can lead to incorrect data and ultimately to quality problems. The maximum precision of the measuring device can also be of great importance, as measuring devices sometimes differ greatly in terms of sampling rate and resolution and not every manufacturer can offer the necessary precision measuring technology. In addition, neglecting data evaluation, for example due to a lack of analysis tools or a lack of specialist personnel, can significantly limit the benefits of the measurement technology. Sophisticated measurement data acquisition and analysis software is therefore a decisive advantage.

Successful production monitoring using measurement technology therefore requires not only technical expertise, but also a well thought-out overall concept. If measurement data is interpreted sensibly and translated into decisions, it makes a decisive contribution to process reliability, resource efficiency and competitiveness.

Examples for use in production monitoring:

  • Monitoring of rotating machines and pumps
  • Quality inspection
  • Quality optimization
  • Component testing
  • Quality improvement
  • Data monitoring
