Trends in Industry 4.0 and the opportunities for quality For example, the immediate electronic registry of quality
assurance6 indicators allows their immediate evaluation. When the
metrics get worse, they can be observed immediately and
act before something is damaged. By comparing
production indicators and quality indicators, you can
identify relationships and take action to avoid
