Question 20
Scenario 2: Smart Manufacturing Quality Control System
An automotive manufacturer implements an IoT-based quality control system that monitors production line metrics, detects defects in real-time, and optimizes manufacturing processes across multiple assembly plants.
System Architecture:
● IoT sensors at production stations (coordinates provided for each plant)
● Quality control hub: (42.3601^(o) N, 71.0589^(o) W)
● Real-time data streams: temperature, pressure, vibration, visual inspection
● ML models for defect prediction and process optimization
Based on the above data, answer the given subquestions.
The system uses GPS coordinates to optimize supply chain logistics between plants. What is the computational advantage of using the Haversine formula in manufacturing logistics?
Accurate distance calculations for optimizing transportation routes and delivery scheduling
Calculating exact production times
Determining equipment maintenance schedules
Measuring network latency between plants
