Case Study: Leading Machining Company achieves nearly 99% first-pass yield and slashes scrap costs with Hertzler Systems Inc.'s GainSeeker

Real-time automated data empowering Precision Machining Industry

Leading Machining Company was wrestling with alarming scrap levels and just 40% first‑pass yield across five work zones because inspection data was collected manually and only available weeks later. The senior quality engineer sought an automated, ERP‑integrated solution for real‑time inspection data from gages, CMMs and other devices. Hertzler Systems Inc provided the GainSeeker real‑time automated data collection system.

Hertzler Systems Inc’s GainSeeker collected data directly from plant devices and the scheduling system, giving operators immediate visibility to drill into process performance and take initial fixes without waiting for engineers. In less than six months first‑pass yield rose from 40% to nearly 99% and scrap costs for the problem zones plummeted, delivering clear, measurable quality and cost improvements.
