Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK Powertrain division implemented Lighthouse Shopfloor-Online to consolidate data from multiple CMM vendors and shop floor sources. The system applies SPC control limits across thousands of micron-level features, generates prioritized alarms, and delivers web-based visibility without client installations. Results include reduced manual reporting labor, earlier process deviation detection, and scalable architecture for plant-wide expansion.

Key takeaways

Replaced paper-based SPC with web-accessible MES for shop floor data consolidation

Integrated CMMs from Mitutoyo and Zeiss to eliminate manual data extraction

Applied selective SPC limits to flag process issues before defects occur

Color-coded alerts and drill-down charts enable prioritized operator response

Modular design supports future expansion to environmental monitoring and other divisions
