THE BUSINESS PROBLEM
Like most industries, tools manufacturers are racing their competitors to bring new products to market. The faster they do so, the quicker they generate revenue and grab market share.
At this particular American tools manufacturer, the business imperative for speed runs headfirst into another business imperative: demonstrable safety and efficacy.
These two demands from the business collide to create immense pressure on the Test Engineering team. On the one hand, the company’s brand and reputation require thorough and deliberate testing; on the other hand, the company’s need for revenue and market share create pressure to move faster.
This manufacturer just deployed Drishti's solution to do both.
WHAT’S THE CURRENT METHODOLOGY?
In this testing lab, the company’s Test Engineers engage tools and accessories in high volume usage tests until they break.
Engineers carefully investigate and document the successes and failures of their testing regimen, and pass information back to the product design teams or forward to the NPI and production teams.
Sometimes, a failure is predictable and the analysis is straightforward. Other times, a failure is sudden and unexpected — and, worse, unseen until after the fact. That’s when an engineer has to spend hours or days investigating the failure to understand what happened and why.
HOW DRISHTI HELPS
Drishti's solution can provide video traceability in manufacturing settings. A camera is placed above every workstation to capture continuous video of the process.
Drishti is much more than just a camera system. It’s a complete infrastructure for capturing and storing video; live streaming; browsing and searching video as easily as using YouTube; studying and annotating events in the video; and sharing clips, playlists and data across the organization.
Here’s how this manufacturer will use Drishti to accelerate their product testing process:
KPIs AND SUCCESS METRICS
Drishti will reduce the time it takes to investigate anomalies and complete the test engineering process.
As a result, the company expects new products to move through Test Engineering faster. This will speed new product introduction, which leads to faster time-to-revenue and a chance to grab market share from their competitors.
