evoTrQ - component tracking
evoTrQ
Industry 4.0 in your press shop
The evoTrQ component marking and tracking system
evoTrQ
Extends the possibilities in your press shop
- Increase in added value
- Reduction of defective product components
- Improvement of the component quality
- overall cost reduction
evoTrQ
Supports the development of savings potentials in the area of material procurement
- Extension of the material tolerance ranges for coils
Up to now, tolerance ranges of the coils used with regard to material thickness have been determined by the experience and the respective know-how of the plant operators. evoTrQ provides an empirical basis for the definition of limit values by collecting diverse information on the quality of the end products and making it available for analysis.
As a result, tolerance limits can be determined much more precisely and savings potential in the area of material procurement can be revealed. evoTrQ collects data and makes them available for analysis so that you can draw the right conclusions, increase the proportion of qualitatively perfect components and increase your productivity.evoTrQ
Proactively adapt the pressing process to changing material properties
- Identification of material changes in a stack of blanks
Es gibt eine Vielzahl bewährter Lösungen, die während des Schneidvorgangs produktions- und qualitätsrelevante Daten erfassen können. Aber sobald die geschnittenen Platinen gestapelt oder vermischt werden, können Materialunterschiede meist nicht mehr erkannt und einzelnen Bauteilen zugeordnet werden.
With evoTrQ you make these differences traceable by analyzing production data and detect changes in component-related material properties early on.
The predictive component recognition with evoTrQ helps to adapt plant settings for the pressing process to changing material properties in time and to increase efficiency and quality.
evoTrQ
Creates the right starting points
- Reduction of a quarantine store
- Easier detection of defective components
evoTrQ provides useful optimization tools for the work steps after the manufacturing process. If a faulty component is detected during subsequent processing, a considerable number of identical parts in the warehouse must be checked for similar defects, which usually requires an enormous amount of time and money.
evoTrQ creates the possibility to identify affected components precisely. With the help of collected production data you can significantly limit the number of parts to be inspected. This allows you to reduce your quarantine stock and save valuable working time.

evoTrQ - Dashboard
Through our development work we were able to make our evoTrQ dashboard quickly tangible. How fast? You can find out in this video.
Dashboards in evoTrQ are implemented as websites and are fed by the central evoTrQ backend. This has the advantage that we can display all information available on our servers. On the other hand, all data must also be sent from the evoTrQ machine interface to our cloud backend and back to the browser that displays the dashboard.
In this video we use a simulation program to display measurements coming from a coil cutting machine. The data is sent to the telemetry collection (an Azure IoT Hub), processed and sent back to the browser. This data transfer usually takes less than 300 ms.
evoTrQ Savings potential
The company evopro is a system supplier and integrator and certainly has some experience in the press shop environment by now. However, it is also clear that we ourselves are not a press shop operator and therefore do not know every detail about press shop processes, let alone the costs for certain processes, components or even certain qualifications. We have invented the values in the following examples, respectively estimated them to the best of our knowledge and belief. Every reader who has better knowledge about them may replace the values with the right ones if they are wrong. We believe, however, that we have taken a relatively conservative approach with our assumptions.
Wenn man es schafft, z.B. bei einer sprunghaften Änderung der Dicke oder der Beölung oder sonstiger beeinflussender Parameter den Teileübergang genau zu identifizieren und aufgrund der Erfahrung der Werker die Anlage richtig nachzustellen, hat man folgenden Effekt:
- If, due to changes in the material parameters, poor quality occurs in e.g. the first stage of a 6-step press, then at least another 8 parts are produced without knowledge of this change before the End of Line Quality Control detects the problem.
- (without component identification) Assumed value of a complex component 80€ * 9 defective components = 720€
- (with evoTrQ) Assumed value of a complex component 80€ * 1 defective component = 80€
- For some reason there is a quality problem at the end of line which needs to be analyzed and the plant has to be stopped because it is not clear what the cause of the problem is. With information about changes in material and process parameters in the coil line, causes can be excluded or found faster based on the material.
- (without component identification) Assumed costs/plant hour 5.000€ * 30min plant downtime/order due to troubleshooting = 2.500€/order
- (with evoTrQ) Assumed costs/plant hour 5.000€ * 10min plant downtime/order due to troubleshooting = 833€
- For some reason there is a quality problem at the end of line which needs to be analyzed and the plant has to be stopped because it is not clear what the cause of the problem is. With information about changes in material and process parameters in the coil line, causes can be excluded or found faster based on the material.
- (without component identification) assumed price/component 50€ * 10strokes/min * 30min plant downtime/order due to troubleshooting = 15.000€/order
- (with evoTrQ) assumed price/component 50€ * 10strokes/min * 10min plant downtime/order due to troubleshooting = 5.000€/order
Durch die auch nach dem Umformprozess noch lesbare Lasernummer können alle Teile, die im Rohbau an eine Karosse angebaut werden identifiziert werden und mit der VIN Nummer verknüpft werden:
- When a complete body is blocked due to an overlooked end-of-line error and the neighboring components are searched for or a problem occurs after paint and parts that may also be affected are searched for:
- (without component identification) Assumed cost/working hour quality engineer 100€ * 16 hours = 1.600€ + several blocked car bodies
- (with evoTrQ) Assumed cost/working hour quality engineer 100€ * 1 hour = 100€
- Material savings per month:
- 1.640€/order * 1 order/shift * 15 shifts/week * 4 weeks/month = 38.400€
- Savings in machine time per month:
- 1.667€/order * 1 order/shift * 15 shifts/week * 4 weeks/month = 100.020€
- Alternative approach Loss of revenue:
- 10.000€/job * 1 job/shift * 15 shifts/week * 4 weeks/month = 600.000€
- Saving of time for troubleshooting after installation of the parts in the body shell or even after painting:
- 1.500€/error * 3 errors/month = 4.500€
