About the study
Once products enter production and the field, vast amounts of data are generated across manufacturing systems, test benches, and in-service operations.
However, this data is isolated within plant and field systems, unstructured, inconsistent in format, and difficult to connect to real-world performance issues, leading to challenges. Linking manufacturing variations to field failures was slow and complex. Root cause analysis (RCA), a process used to identify the causes of failures, required significant manual effort. High-impact failure drivers remained hidden in large datasets. Warranty costs increased due to delayed issue identification.
A solution was needed that would unify production and field data efficiently, enabling its engineering teams to extract meaningful insights that would improve reliability and reduce costs
