Application and research of quality information framework in manufacturing industry

The quality information framework (QIF) is a standardized data model used in the manufacturing industry to ensure seamless integration and interoperability of quality data during the manufacturing process. Firstly, the definition, theoretical foundation, and structural composition of QIF were elaborated in detail. Secondly, based on the data, information, knowledge, wisdom (DIKW) model, the current application status of QIF in manufacturing was analyzed, attention paid to four application scenarios, namely data alignment, semantic extension, prediction and decision-making, and full life cycle management. Thirdly, various QIF application methods were comprehensively discussed, and their applicability and potential in real-world manufacturing environments were evaluated. Finally, future development trends of QIF were projected.
