Case Study: P2i achieves 300% higher engineering efficiency and zero quality escapes with Instrumental

P2i replaces 50% of manual inspections and eliminates quality escapes

P2i, a global leader in liquid repellent nano-coatings, faced significant challenges in quality control during the development of its Dunkable® waterproof coating for electronics. The company's manual inspection methods were expensive, inconsistent, and led to critical defects escaping to their downstream customer, a smartphone manufacturer. The amorphous and translucent nature of the coatings made them particularly difficult to inspect with traditional vision systems, and the team lacked the traceable data needed to validate quality and diagnose issues quickly.

Instrumental implemented its AI-powered optimization platform, which provided intelligent, proactive issue detection and complete traceability across P2i's supply chain. The solution enabled P2i to set up 78 unique AI tests, remotely monitor their lines, and accelerate failure analysis. As a result, Instrumental helped P2i eliminate all customer-reported defects, reduce manual inspection costs by 50%, and triple engineering efficiency, allowing one engineer to solve issues that previously required two to three. Instrumental is now P2i's primary quality control methodology.
