If we can help, we can have you setup with your line data in our platform, within 48 hours*

*Timing contingent upon us getting a signed MSA and assumes it requires no additional hardware. Timelines will vary if Instrumental needs to send hardware to capture visual data.

We are your trusted partners

The Instrumental team is your trusted partner who will jump in to firefight with you with near real-time failure analysis. Whether you’re experiencing a critical misstep in your new product introduction process or you’ve stopped your existing line in production due critical failures, we’re here to help. Matter of fact, you’ll have engineers from our Solutions Architecture team drop everything to make sure you don’t have to.

After a brief consultation, you can leverage our AI-powered failure analysis software on your manufacturing data on the same day while we deploy Instrumental stations to your line in less than a week. Our solution can provide actionable insights in under 30 units.

Coupled with our experienced product design engineers, you’ll be able to discover root cause and monitor your solution to validate its success.

I felt that Instrumental got what we were doing and why our mission is so important to us. Throughout the process, they actively helped us solve immediate problems and they’re committed to evolving their platform to further support our needs. We had a great two-way synergy with the Instrumental team and that’s why we’re getting ready to use Instrumental again on a new product."”

Case Study: AXON

Using Instrumental’s AI-powered manufacturing optimization platform, Axon accelerates issue detection and resolution, upgrades quality processes, and gains engineering efficiency from EVT to MP.

Founded in 1993, Axon’s mission is to protect life by creating technology and services that promote safety, efficiency, and transparency. They offer a full tech suite of critical devices, software, and training for use by law enforcement, military, corrections, private security personnel, and by private individuals for personal defense. In addition to hardware such as in-camera systems, body-worn cameras, and less-lethal devices like TASERs, Axon has developed technology to handle data to capture, securely store, and manage video/audio evidence.

The value of using Instrumental could be seen from the early stages of development through Mass Production. Download our full case study below to see exclusive details about how the Axon team achieved the following:

  • After the first day, the team automatically detected unknown issues, gained a full data record and instant, remote failure analysis.
  • More than 20 different types of unknown issues were discovered, some of which would have resulted in escapes.
  • Defect rates dropped 6% from EVT1 to DVT, improving design and processes early on, avoiding rework on dozens of units
  • Traceability increased between builds, which enabled teams to rapidly respond with historically accurate information.
  • Team efficiency increased. In EVT2, the team saved 35 hours of engineering time by prioritizing efforts on the most important issues
