Case Study: Automotive Warehouse saves over $300,000 with Envista Forensics FTIR analysis

Automotive Warehouse saves over $300,000 with Envista Forensics

The customer, Automotive Warehouse, faced a challenge when the majority of the LED lights in their new building began to fail prematurely. The light manufacturer initially blamed the failure on fumes from the warehouse's stored products. Automotive Warehouse brought in Envista Forensics and its materials science expertise to investigate the cause.

Envista Forensics performed testing and conducted an FTIR spectroscopy analysis on the failed lights. This analysis proved that no external chemicals were to blame; instead, an internal manufacturing defect that caused overheating was the root cause. With Envista's findings, the manufacturer was compelled to replace all defective fixtures at no cost to the client, saving Automotive Warehouse over $300,000.
