Case Study: Lin Engineering reduces defects with Advantive's InfinityQS

Lin Engineering uses cloud-based quality control to monitor overseas facility

Lin Engineering, a U.S. manufacturer of hybrid step motors, faced the challenge of ensuring high-quality production from its overseas facility in China. The company needed a real-time statistical process control (SPC) system to monitor operations remotely, reduce costly shipping defects, and strengthen its market position with quality analytics. They turned to Advantive for a solution using its InfinityQS ProFicient service.

Advantive implemented its cloud-based ProFicient On Demand solution, enabling Lin Engineering to monitor its China facility in real time and receive instant alerts for out-of-spec issues. The results included a reduction in defects on finished goods and a decrease in inspection requirements. The use of control charts provided critical insights into manufacturing trends. Advantive's solution gave Lin Engineering improved confidence in its capabilities and is considered a key tool for future communications with suppliers.
