Management of Quality-Relevant Production Data

For decision-makers in production and quality management – Automotive, Mechanical Engineering, Vehicle Manufacturing, Rail Technology, Medical Technology.

✓ Centrally capture and audit-proof archive quality data
✓ Detect deviations in real time
✓ Reduce rework and recall risks
✓ Cut archiving costs by up to 98%

Whitepaper - Consistent Management of quality-relevant production data

98% less archiving costs · 30 years audit-proof data availability · 100% error-free processes

 

Have you ever been in these situations?

Small Causes, Big Consequences

The central question is: How do you ensure that every single production step is documented, monitored, and traceable in the long term?

Audit without a data basis

During an audit, process data from three years ago is missing — and the database has long been archived.

Recall without containment

A product recall is imminent and you can't precisely identify the affected batch.

Skilled labor shortage & error risk

New employees make assembly errors because process instructions are missing or outdated.

Exploding storage costs

Databases keep growing — requiring ever more powerful hardware investments.

What You'll Take Away from the Whitepaper

Four Concrete Answers for Your Practice

No theory paper — practical insights from 30+ years of QMS projects in manufacturing.

01 · Centrally secure quality data

 Tightening, pressing, gluing, riveting, crimping, and testing process data in a single lifecycle record — accessible at any time, audit-proof.

02 · Traceability over years

Every process step traceable long-term — for audits, product liability, and internal quality assurance.

03 · Detect errors early

Real-time alerts and operator guidance stop deviations before they become costly.

04 · Reduce archiving costs

Offload inactive data in an open format — relieve production systems, control costs permanently.

The Software-Suite

Four Modules. One Seamless System.

CSP has combined four self-developed modules for capturing, analyzing, and archiving quality-relevant data into one suite — as a digital twin of your quality-relevant processes.

Module 1 · IPM

Integrated Process Data Management

Thousands of joining processes per day, but no unified view. IPM automatically captures all process data, documents it in a lifecycle record, and alerts on deviations in real time — e.g. by email.

Module 2 · PG

Production Guide (Operator Guidance)

PG guides workers step by step visually through the entire process chain. Zero-defect strategy through controlled, monitored processes.

Module 3 · QST

Torque Capture & Quality Inspection

QST enables planning, execution, and evaluation of quality inspections. Combined with CHRONOS, all data is retrievable even years later.

Module 4 · CHRONOS

Long-Term Archiving

CHRONOS offloads inactive data in an open format. Real-world example: €1.2M/year in DB expansion vs. €20,000 CHRONOS storage.

Trust in Practice

Leading Companies Rely on CSP

CSP's software suite is used by market leaders in various industries.

AUTOMOTIVE

BMW Group

CHRONOS archives an average of over 130 million records per plant per month from Oracle databases — audit-proof for 30 years. Result: significantly reduced license and storage costs.

COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

MAN Truck & Bus

More than 30,000 screws per day in axle production. 80 screwdriving systems connected to the IPM network. Precise tightening cycle capture and condition-based maintenance.

RAIL TECHNOLOGY

Knorr Brake

Market leader for braking systems uses PG to ensure all parameters (torque, rotation angle, tightening parameters) are met for critical fastening operations.

AUTOMOTIVE

Mercedes-Benz

Manufacturing of axles and steering columns — highly stressed safety components. In use since 2006. IPM provides baseline data for quality planning with thousands of fastenings daily.

RAIL TECHNOLOGY

Stadler Rail

Screwdriving processes in bogie assembly secured with PG. 13 torque wrenches from various manufacturers with Wi-Fi connectivity. Real-time warnings on deviations.

Why Act Now 

Pressure on Your Production Is Increasing

  • Rising recall costs and stricter product liability regulations
  • Growing documentation requirements due to regulation and audits
  • Skilled labor shortages increase the value of digital process support
  • Heterogeneous system landscapes make uniform data quality harder to achieve
This whitepaper shows you a practical way to manage your quality-relevant production data end-to-end, securely and efficiently — without rebuilding your existing infrastructure.
