Case Study: Strategic Materials achieves real-time, enterprise-wide quality visibility with InfinityQS International’s Enact

Real-time Data Visibility Across the Recycling Enterprise

Strategic Materials, the largest glass recycler in North America with nearly 50 plants, faced fragmented quality data: each site used its own nomenclature and Excel spreadsheets, making cross-plant comparison and real-time issue detection impossible. To standardize and centralize quality management, Strategic Materials selected Enact by InfinityQS as their cloud-based SPC solution.

InfinityQS implemented Enact rapidly—collecting and analyzing data at 12 plants within three months and expanding to 31 plants—centralizing reporting and delivering real-time, cross-plant visibility. The Enact rollout eliminated manual Excel consolidation, enabled immediate detection and correction of out-of-spec processes, reduced waste, improved product quality, and gave Strategic Materials the documented performance data needed to reassure customers and grow revenue. InfinityQS’s Enact also standardized data collection timing and integrity across plants, speeding continuous improvement.
