Quality variations across different shifts
Manufacturing process hard to standardize
Knowledge and experience transfer is challenging
Proposed Solutions:
Digital process parameter management
HMI operation guidance system
Comprehensive process data recording and traceability
Standardized printing condition management
Transition from “Human‑Controlled Process” to “Equipment‑Controlled Process”
