Data analysis in connection with complaints about measuring devices

Task

A measuring device manufacturer recorded an increase in complaints regarding incorrect measurements from a specific type of device. The question needed to be clarified as to whether this increase was due to a production error or could be explained by statistical fluctuations in natural causes of error, such as operating errors. To this end, the measurement results and log data stored on the devices subject to complaint were used, along with the associated complaint reports.

Solution approach

  • Automated consolidation of complaint reports and log data from the devices subject to complaint
  • Time series analysis of measurement data from the devices
  • Correlation analyses
  • Model development for error-free measurement processes and error conditions
  • Comparison of measurement data from the devices subject to complaint with laboratory measurements
