Industrial Process Control Chart Kit with Arduino Mega
Industrial Process Control Chart Kit: Detect Small Process Shifts with CUSUM & EWMA on Arduino Mega
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
In high-precision manufacturing, a drift of 0.5°C or 50mA can spoil an entire batch before traditional control charts catch it. This kit equips you to build a real-time monitoring system that applies CUSUM and EWMA algorithms — the same methods used in semiconductor fabs and pharma plants — to catch those subtle shifts early, displaying alerts on a 2.4-inch TFT screen. You'll move from theory to a DIN-rail mounted prototype that reads dual temperature probes and a current sensor, timestamps every reading, logs data, and flashes out-of-control warnings the moment a process deviates beyond calculated limits.
What You'll Build
A rugged industrial monitor in a DIN rail enclosure. The system reads two DS18B20 temperature probes and one ACS712 current sensor, synchronizes data with a real‑time clock, logs to microSD, and runs CUSUM and EWMA control‑chart logic on the Arduino Mega. The TFT displays trend lines and control limits; when a shift is detected, the screen goes red and the alert threshold is refreshed in real time. You get a project that demonstrates process capability monitoring exactly as it's done on factory floors.
What You'll Learn
- Implement CUSUM and EWMA statistical process control algorithms in embedded C++ on Arduino Mega
- Interface multiple industrial sensors (1‑Wire temperature probes, analog current sensor) with proper noise filtering
- Design real‑time dashboards on the ILI9341 TFT: trend graphs, control limits, and alert banners
- Build a DIN‑rail mountable, 12V‑powered system with a buck converter and industrial‑style wiring

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech ECE/EEE students tackling industrial IoT or instrumentation final‑year projects, Smart India Hackathon teams working on manufacturing quality use‑cases, and early‑career engineers in factory automation who want a hands‑on implementation of CUSUM/EWMA. Also ideal for IIT/NIT/BITS capstone projects where real‑time SPC is a requirement. If you’ve taken a basic statistics course and want to move from textbook control charts to a live monitoring tool, this kit is your launchpad.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to talk to your AI build companion, which has been trained on this exact kit. You can also reach a human expert via WhatsApp for personalized troubleshooting within 24 hours.
Do I need prior experience with statistical process control?
Basic familiarity with statistics (mean, standard deviation) helps, but the AI companion explains each step of CUSUM and EWMA. You'll learn the algorithms while assembling the hardware.
Can this kit be used for real industrial monitoring or only learning?
It’s a sophisticated learning platform that follows industrial design principles — DIN rail mounting, sensor isolation, and timestamped logging. It’s not certified for production environments, but many students demonstrate it at factory trials during hackathons.
Is the DIN rail enclosure pre-drilled, and are all power connections included?
Yes, the enclosure comes with pre‑cut slots for the TFT, connectors, and ventilation. The kit includes a 12V 3A PSU, buck converter, and all necessary barrel jacks and terminal blocks to complete a tidy installation.
CUSUM and EWMA control charts detect small shifts in manufacturing process. TFT shows out-of-control alerts.
