Case Study: EMD Millipore achieves $250,000 in annual savings with Advantive InfinityQS

Tackling Complex Problems in the Life Sciences Industry

EMD Millipore, a life science industry leader, was facing a significant challenge in its manufacturing process. Their method of post-production quality testing for pleated cartridges was inefficient, requiring extra handling and movement of products, which cost a great deal of time and resources. They partnered with Advantive and implemented its InfinityQS ProFicient SPC software to enable real-time, in-process testing and eliminate the need for the final inspection.

The solution from Advantive provided real-time data analysis and automated SPC charting, which allowed EMD Millipore to perform quality checks during production. This eliminated the post-production test and resulted in annual savings of over $250,000 from reduced scrap, rework, labor, and overhead. Advantive's software also included remote monitoring tools to automatically shut down processes if quality issues were detected, ensuring reliability in their highly automated environment.
