In an industrial setup quality measurements are taken in multiple steps of each production chain. Often a single product is evaluated for several steps in the production, but even more often pooled tests are done, to evaluate the quality of the used material or a charge. Instead of the traditional classification of sensor measurement to quality on a single process step, the question arises, how these steps interact with each other. Is it possible to foresee the faults of later production steps, by analyzing data gathered earlier? Especially in mass production this leads to unclear and fuzzy relationships. The material quality might not be known for every work piece produced but controlled in a fixed time interval. The challenge of these processes is, to correctly connect ground truth to feature vector by their temporal connection. In this work we show multiple steps to reach a better classification and insight into the production process. We gather data from a real-world environment and as a first shot, use common machine learning methods, which are available through public libraries. Therefore, we created a simple connection between the material trace elements and quality inspection. Further data analysis suggested the influence of the exact time of the quality inspection related to the measurement of trace elements. We performed a significance test, to proof the difference of time groups to each other. The identical machine learning methods were applied to these time groups and an improvement of classification accuracy of 2% could be detected. For feature approaches we propose an automatic split system, to find time dependent groups inside the data and split the data accordingly.
