Aggregate and unify your testing data

Problem

It's difficult to access and report siloed test data, getting in the way of creating valuable new tests.

Solution

Tie your test data into a single digital thread, and allow easy access to other manufacturing teams via secure, out-of-the-box cloud platform.

Aggregate and unify your testing data

Catch drift and shifts as they occur

Problem

It's difficult to identify drift and tester issues from failures caused by quality or design issues.

Solution

Develop and maintain internal test data with monitoring and SPC alerts when drift or other issues arise.

Catch drift and shifts as they occur

Continuously improve specifications and SOPs

Problem

Painful to identify opportunities to adjust and optimize test parameters.

Solution

Know which specs and metrics to tune to improve coverage and minimize line disruptions.

Continuously improve specifications and SOPs

Know which tests are effective (and which tests are not)

Problem

Having complete confidence in which tests you can safely remove takes a long time.

Solution

Easily identify tests that are not capturing issues and correlations to improve cycle time.

Know which tests are effective (and which tests are not)

Case Study: PUFFCO

Instrumental helped Puffco streamline defect detection and failure analysis during the NPI build of a first-generation product.

During an NPI build, Puffco found that a complex product design and pandemic-induced travel barriers limited their ability to gather data on underperforming units. But by working with Instrumental, Puffco gained immediate insight into the underlying issue, discovered root cause in record time, and implemented process changes to improve product performance.

Travel barriers weren’t the only challenges facing Chris Fisher, senior test and quality manager at Puffco, during their NPI build. The product had a complex design process that was difficult to translate remotely to their overseas manufacturing partner, and they soon discovered there was significant variation in the product performance.

The team spent over three months trying to discover the issue on their own — even inserting a tiny microscope into the assembled unit to get visual confirmation of the root cause — with no luck.
