Introduction

The Deviation Processor module serves as a centralized hub for tracking deviations on the shop floor. Deviations are detected and reported by various modules, collectively referred to as detectors. These detectors can be either internal modules within the IAS or external systems.

Centralizing deviation tracking enhances visibility into potential areas for improvement, ultimately increasing the efficiency of manufacturing operations. The Deviation Processor also facilitates automated deviation handling through Quick Reactions, which can trigger responses in connected reactors based on specific information within the deviation.

In addition to automated responses, users can manually initiate reactions to deviations via the Deviation Processor’s user interface. For a comprehensive overview of the underlying deviation process, please refer to the Deviation Process model.

At a high level, the components of the standardized deviation process can be visualized as follows:
