A telecommunications brand manufacturing mission-critical electronics faced challenges with manual inspection processes that were time-consuming and prone to human error. Prior visual inspection systems could only catch known defects, missing unique and unknown defects. A single defect in their mission-critical products could have catastrophic consequences for end-users and cause significant brand reputation damage.
The company leveraged Instrumental's manufacturing automation to boost quality and efficiency. The AI-powered system discovers novel defects in real-time and automates inspection processes, intercepting live defects and eliminating the risk of human error and labor-intensive manual checks. Unlike prior visual inspection systems that only caught known defects, Instrumental catches both known and unknown defect types.
The company prevented 4.6% of operator escapes, reduced operator headcount by 75%, and achieved a 63% reduction in inspection time. The system achieved breakeven within one month and eliminated the risk of unknown defect escapes that prior visual inspection systems missed.
