The Manufacturing Engineering Control Platform

Gif of different pages of the Instrumental app

Turn factory signals from every stage of production into a single engineering dataset.

Capture Signals From Every Source

Aggregate your functional test data and images from suppliers, final assembly, and returns. 

Generate New Signals Where Needed

Instrumental's AI visual inspection system on an assembly line in a electronics manufacturing facility

Originate images, videos, measurements, and visual tests using drop-in stations and AI.

TRACE

Trace Unit Data from Any Source

100% Traceability with real-time manufacturing data record

Link signals across sub-assembly, final assembly, and returns to create a complete, traceable view of how each unit was built.

Explore images and generate measurements.

Annotate and comment on interesting regions with markup tools, and generate instant distances using AI-powered measurements.

Search by serial numbers.

Efficiently sift through your data by using filters to search for specific serial numbers.

Explore the entire lifecycle of each unit

Dig deep into the supplier, assembly, and returns data of a specific serial number.

DISCOVER AI

Discover New Failure Modes

Surface unexpected variations and novel failures directly from factory signals — without predefined tests or large datasets. Avoid extra builds and tests. Find novel defects in real-time data using just 5 units and an anomaly-detecting AI. 

OPERATE AI

Deploy Production Controls Across Your Factories

Turn known failure modes into synchronized inspection tests that intercept issues early and enforce manufacturing standards across lines and sites. Proactively improve quality and yield wit AI that runs 100s of visual inspections and works in high-mix scenarios.

SOLVE AI

Accelerate Failure Analysis

Correlate visual signals, test results, and process parameters to isolate root causes and eliminate entire classes of failures. Save 90% of the time spent on each failure analysis.

Built for Real Manufacturing Complexity

Handle Bot Low and High-Mix, Rapidly Changing Builds

40% of Instrumental programs are high mix and it can manage 100s of SKUs and different variations.

From NPI to High-Volume Production

Capture and learn from factory signals whether you’re building tens of units or scaling to millions — without changing systems.

Deploy Across Your Infrastructure

Run Instrumental in a managed cloud or within your own environment while maintaining a unified engineering dataset across factories.

Hardware Agnostic

Ingest images and data from existing equipment like AOI and X-ray, or deploy our drop-in stations to generate new factory signals.

Act on Factory Signals in Real Time

Surface failures and variations as they occur. Quickly identify issues and take action on the line.

Built for Engineers, Not Data Teams

Create and deploy discovery and inspection workflows without custom code — keeping engineering teams in control.

Instrumental turns factory signals into engineering intelligence — helping teams discover failures, identify root causes, and control production.

Instrumental integrates with MES and factory systems to capture and unify signals across your manufacturing process — with flexible deployment in managed or self-hosted environments.

Integrates with Existing MES

Capture factory signals from MES, test systems, and inspection equipment — and feed production decisions back into the line to enforce correct unit routing and manufacturing controls.

Deploy Quickly in Your Factory

Instrumental works with your team to design signal capture across your line — including station placement, system integration, and bringing signals into a unified engineering dataset.

Secure, Reliable Cloud Platfom

Instrumental operates with enterprise-grade security and access controls, ensuring factory signals and engineering workflows are protected across teams, lines, and facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Instrumental is best for products with medium to high complexity, high-performance requirements, or zero defect requirements. Instrumental customers make as few as ten units/month up to 1M / day.   Our technology supports both low- and high-mix environments. 

The platform’s value persists throughout the entire product lifecycle, even after initial objectives have been accomplished, making it a reliable and long-term business partner. It is sought after in three critical scenarios by its customers: 

  1. Accelerate NPI Programs
  2. Improve quality and Yield in Production
  3. Data and AI Transformation
  4. Refurbishment/Returns/Remanufacturing

While uploading both images and data maximizes value, we recognize unique situations. Instrumental accommodates uploading solely data or images based on your specific needs, ensuring valuable insights in either scenario.
