“…having my team and engineers manually compile, format and analyze the data easily accounted for 20% of their time…Once you have lowered the barriers to look at the data, you get a lot of new and interesting ways to solve problems.”

Challenge

Need to rapidly run through New Product Integration (NPI) on mission-critical products with RF, digital, and analog components to maintain and improve position in a rapidly changing market
Need to gauge performance and characterize thousands of parametric measurements affected by hundreds of parameters.
20 percent of engineering time was spent gathering, compiling and formatting data for analysis.

Solution

Deployment of IntraStage BlackBelt to aggregate, normalize, and store the performance data
Automated data mining reports developed, providing a 100+ team of engineers the parametric performance across multiple frequencies and other characteristics
Real-time analysis and collaboration on critical design performance
