ABSTRACT:
A system and method for integrating a production line process control system (PCS) with production line machine controllers to record data about processes completed on a production line. The PCS receives data from line controllers regarding processes that are completed on each part. Process data including process order data is stored by the PCS and used to instruct line controllers on whether a particular part should be accepted for machining or handled in another way. Rejected parts are flagged electronically so when they arrive at a subsequent line controller, they are directed to a chute containing parts removed from the production process. The PCS and line controllers exchange data about each part and applicable processes as it proceeds through production. The PCS records the data to develop a complete part history. The PCS integrates with a plant quality and tracking system that records the historical data.
