Case Study: Central Electrical Manufacturing & Automation (CEMA Ltd) plugs compliance holes and maintains ISO 9001 & 14001 certification with Ideagen's Q-Pulse

Ideagen’s Q-Pulse helps CEMA Ltd plug their compliance holes to maintain ISO 9001 and 14001 certification

Central Electrical Manufacturing and Automation Ltd (CEMA), a leading UK electrical engineering firm, was managing quality largely on spreadsheets and paper, which left data fragmented and routine tasks — document retrieval, asset calibrations and training records — time-consuming and error-prone. This disjointed system created overlapping due dates, expired calibrations and compliance gaps that threatened their ISO 9001 and 14001 standing.

Implementing Ideagen’s Q-Pulse gave CEMA a single, standardised quality platform: more than 847 controlled documents are now managed centrally, audits and compliance can be demonstrated quickly, and training and competency gaps are flagged automatically. The change streamlined document, asset and training management, closed compliance holes, and positioned the company to pursue further standards such as ISO 45001.
