Case Study: Strategic Materials achieves real-time quality visibility with Advantive InfinityQS Enact

Real-time Data Visibility Across the Recycling Enterprise

Strategic Materials, the largest glass recycler in North America, faced a significant challenge in standardizing its quality data across nearly 50 plants. Each facility used different methods and Excel spreadsheets, making cross-site comparisons and continuous improvement initiatives nearly impossible. To overcome this, they partnered with Advantive and implemented its InfinityQS Enact quality management system.

The solution from Advantive provided a centralized, cloud-based platform for real-time data collection and analysis. This gave the company complete visibility into process capabilities across all plants, allowing them to detect and address quality issues immediately. The implementation was rapid and the standardized system improved operational efficiency, reduced waste, and inspired greater confidence in customers, leading to increased orders and new revenue streams for Strategic Materials.
