Industrial AI in passive safety manufacturing plants

> A passive safety plant makes the strangest part in the whole car: the one > used only once in the vehicle's life, and only if the worst happens. The > airbag that never deploys is a perfect product. The one that deploys badly, > once, is a tragedy and a recall campaign across hundreds of thousands of > vehicles. The sector's entire quality architecture — unit traceability, > torque curves recorded bolt by bolt, line blocking at the first sign — > exists because of that asymmetry. > > And yet much of the information holding that architecture up still lives > outside the systems: the hand-signed first-off record that spends half a > shift in a folder, the old machine's panel that keeps no history, the test > lab spreadsheet nobody in the ERP can see, the supplier email flagging a > lot that gets read three hours late. Every one of those gaps is, on the day > of the incident, a multiplier on the scope of the containment. > > This page collects twelve IRIS use cases applied to airbag, seat belt and > steering wheel plants. They are grouped by architecture piece: Connect to > capture what is lost today, Edge so the line can see, and Agents so the > evidence organizes itself. None of them replaces the ERP or the MES: they > are all stitched on top of what already exists, and none writes to the > central system without a person validating it first.
