Case Study: Large U.S. Manufacturing Company achieves $6M annual savings and improved surgical equipment uptime with Cognizant's IoT data-capture solution

Large U.S. Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

A large U.S. maker of endo-surgical equipment relied on costly, manual on-site inspections by highly trained staff to collect device data and recertify gear. That painstaking process caused slow responses to faults, deployment delays, reduced sales activity and increased risk of equipment failure during surgery.

Cognizant implemented an IoT-based solution that plugs into existing devices to capture and transmit usage and performance data remotely, enabling faster issue identification, remote updates and better maintenance planning. The change eliminated routine field visits and in‑field recertification, reduced downtime, improved patient outcomes, delivered ROI in under a year and is projected to save $6M annually.
