A self-contained tire-manufacturing cell (100) has linked build, cure, and force-measurement equipment. Each tire is tagged (personalized), such as with a bar code, so that it can be traced through the system, including which one of a number of build drums it was built upon, which one of a number of mold cavities it was cured in and which one of a number of force variation testing machines it was tested on. The system performs force, measurements upon each tire after curing, in near real time after the tire is produced, and displays this information in a graphical symbolic format (300), from which process variations can readily be ascertained by the operator. In an exemplary embodiment, the force measurements are presented to the operator in the form of a polar plot (300), each circular band or ring of which is associated with an individual tire. The visual appearance of the band varies in shading, color, or the like, as a function of force-measurement data at various circumferential positions on the tire, each distinct shading, coloring, or the like representing a predetermined range of data (i.e., within a first range, within a second range, within a third range, etc.).

1. A method of displaying characteristic data associated with a plurality of tires manufactured in a manufacturing cell having at least one build drum, at least one mold cavity, and at least one characteristic data measuring machine, comprising the steps for each one of the plurality of tires:assigning a unique tracking number to each tire being manufactured in the manufacturing cell; storing in memory which one of the at least one build drums, at least one mold cavities and at least one characteristic data measuring machines the tire was assembled, molded and measured on; storing in memory the characteristic data gathered from the measuring machine for the tire; and displaying on a computer screen, in graphic form, the characteristic data for the tire using differences in visual indications to indicate data falling within at least two different ranges of values at each circumferential position of the tire.
