The production of aviation turbine blades requires data science models to be built in order to identify and optimize the decisions to scrap parts instead of shipping with some impacting defects. This requires applying advanced analytics techniques to help realize the ROI through this improved quality control. Typical blade operations consists of the following steps:
- Create router and drill EDM holes
- Grind dovetail and CMM inspect
- Heat treat (transfer data has run number in it FYI)
- FPI inspect
- Visual inspect
- Farm out transaction to OV
- Coat at OV
- Visual inspect
- Farm in transaction from OV
- Shotpeen
- Waterflow
- Airflow inspect
- X-ray inspect
- Final visual inspect and package for shipment
- Ship transaction
- Closes router ...
