Fault Type: Emerging potential of fault detectors to reduce contamination faults
Contamination faults occur when foreign materials and substances are introduced into the manufacturing process, which adversely affect product performance and quality. Industries such as pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and semiconductor manufacturing place the highest priority on avoiding contamination faults to ensure product safety and maintain regulatory compliance. Dimensional faults refer to deviations from specified parameters or tolerances relating to physical dimensions such as length, width, height, curvature, and other geometric properties. These faults lead to assembly issues and failure of end-products across various industries such as automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, and industrial manufacturing. Process variability faults are caused by fluctuations in parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, or machine settings during the manufacturing process. These variations lead to inconsistent product quality and lower yield rates. Industries such as chemicals, plastics, and metal fabrication prioritize controlling process variability to optimize production efficiency and minimize waste. Surface defects are imperfections or irregularities on the surface of a manufactured product that can affect its appearance or functional performance. Surface defects are critical concerns in industries such as automotive finishing, aerospace coatings, consumer electronics displays, and glass products where surface quality directly impacts customer satisfaction.
End-Use: Rising use of FDC systems in pharmaceutical companies
The automotive industry is constantly striving for enhanced safety measures and improved vehicle performance. Thus, implementing FDC systems plays a crucial role in identifying defects early in the production process to maintain high standards. Fault detection is vital in the electronics industry due to the complexity of integrated circuits (ICs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs). FDC systems are essential for maintaining strict quality control measures across pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Companies employ various FDC technologies including near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems to ensure dosage accuracy, purity of active ingredients, and overall compliance with regulatory guidelines.
