When your electronics are mission-critical, quality issues and escapes aren’t an option. Manufacturing teams use Instrumental’s optimization platform to maximize quality even at the most challenging times. Automate unknown defect discovery and complex failure analysis, maintain real-time remote line oversight, and unify all your product data streams, from suppliers to return centers, into a single, accessible digital thread.
Instrumental’s patented AI scans each and every unit at key assembly steps during your process to discover the unknown unknowns causing end-of-line quality failures. We can even incorporate data from upstream supplier factories or multiple locations.
Instrumental can automatically quarantine suspect units, deliver real-time alerts when issues arise, and provide the data your engineers need to quickly find the root cause and start fixing the problem.
The key to recognizing and solving issues quickly and effectively is in leveraging digital automation to give engineers superpowers. Increase engineering capacity by automating away the time-consuming fact-finding and data analysis that costs precious days and weeks of build time.
For complex issues, Instrumental changes the game by automatically tracing issues back to their source, leveraging smart AI to find correlations between functional test results, multi-stage visual inspection, metrology, and any custom data sources you leverage today.
Finding root causes with Instrumental takes hours, not weeks.
Instrumental’s proprietary algorithms that search every unit produced at every key assembly stage and automatically surface a ranked list of anomalies off the line, daily. It trains with fewer than 30 golden units and does not need examples of defects to get started. This means if you have a low-volume production line, the platform is still able to effectively help your team collect and analyze supply chain data.
Using Instrumental, product engineers can pull all of their product data into a single hub, creating a complete data history of every unit off of their lines. Having a unified data record kickstarts remote failure analysis and correlations across the supply chain. Engineers no longer need to waste hours conducting low-value work identifying product issue root causes and can get started on working to resolve design or process solutions right away.
Unlike inspection equipment that is only able to capture and screen parts, Instrumental is able to detect defects in real-time. Patterns are tracked which accelerates the speed at which teams can complete root cause identification. Faster failure analysis and less forensics means rework can begin earlier and the amount of scrap is as a result reduced.
