Case Study: Northrop Grumman achieves proactive IC visibility and 10% reduction in engineering time with IntraStage

Northrop Grumman - Customer Case Study

Northrop Grumman, an advanced engineering company in the aerospace and defense sectors, faced tight RF semiconductor performance tolerances and very large datasets that could take more than two days to aggregate and format for analysis. To address the need for manufacturing and NPI data aggregation and earlier detection of measurement trends, Northrop Grumman engaged IntraStage, leveraging IntraStage’s BlackBelt open-analysis capabilities.

IntraStage automated capture of IC design and performance data and delivered off-the-shelf trend, characterization, and histogram analysis while enabling open analysis through tools like JMP, MATLAB, Minitab, DIAdem, and Excel. The IntraStage solution provided proactive visibility into IC lots, wafers, sub-assemblies and parts, reduced demand on high-value resources, and cut engineering time spent aggregating data by 10%.
