Goals

  • Deliver to schedule
  • Anticipate and eliminate risk
  • Enable innovative product design

Frustrations

  • Unforeseen delays are common
  • Travel bans & supply chain disruption

Find issues earlier. Fix them faster.

Problem

You need to deliver against more ambitious schedules every year, without compromising product quality.

Solution

Instrumental automatically generates a complete issue Pareto with minimal training units and uses AI to suggest root causes, saving weeks of engineering time during development.

Find issues earlier. Fix them faster.

Deliver complete, real-time engineering data remotely.

Problem

You need to deliver against more ambitious schedules every year, without compromising product quality.

Solution

Give the entire team instant access to product data like functional tests, metrology, OQC/IQC data, RMA center information, and enriched visuals of every unit, so they spend less time on forensics and more time engineering.

Deliver complete, real-time engineering data remotely.

Dashboards designed for NPI leaders.

Problem

You need reliable data to communicate progress, risks, and build status to internal stakeholders.

Solution

See comprehensive build reports including yield by assembly step, complete issue burndown charts, and example defects so you know exactly how far you are from OK2Ramp.

We typically speed through NPI knowing we'll have defects to fix in MP. With Instrumental we were able to detect and fix problems a lot faster in NPI, resulting in a much smoother MP.”

Withings

Case Study: Withings

Withings teams up with Instrumental to speed through development and delight customers with their new sleep tracker.

Withings understands the importance of efficiency. Sleep, an IOT sleep tracker, gives users insights into their sleep cycles, including heart rate tracking and snore detection. The company planned and executed a one-day DVT, the fastest we’ve ever seen and reached out to Instrumental to bring their efficiency to the next level.

During DVT and the mass production run of Sleep, the Withings team used Instrumental’s intelligent defect discovery and monitoring tools to protect the new product’s quality. With visibility into their assembly line and the ability to catch issues they previously didn’t know existed, Withings was able to streamline defect discovery and failure analysis. They then moved into mass production confidently and ramped smoothly, with fewer defects.

The company was able to use Instrumental to deliver their product on an aggressive schedule and find high priority issues quickly. The team was able to maintain complete control over their build and leadership maximized the most of the platform’s reporting features to communicate internally the notable success of the record time the build was completed on.
