Case Study: Philips Respironics achieves proactive quality management and hundreds of man-hours saved with IntraStage's BlackBelt solution

Philips Respironics - Customer Case Study

Philips Respironics, a high-volume designer and OEM of medical respirators and ventilators, faced limited visibility into contract manufacturer performance, yield issues, slow retest verification, and the burden of analyzing thousands of ICT parametric measurements. To address this, Philips Respironics partnered with IntraStage and implemented the BlackBelt Hosted solution to centralize ATE data collection and improve proactive quality management.

IntraStage deployed BlackBelt Hosted to automatically gather ATE data from contract manufacturers, co-developed an automated Gage R&R report, and configured alerts and subscriptions for retest, yield, and performance issues. The result: immediate alerts and SPC drilldown into ICT performance, faster Gage R&R turnaround, closer collaboration with multiple CMs, and measurable impact including hundreds of man-hours saved per year and improved Rolled Throughput Yield—helping Philips Respironics ship only high-quality assemblies and maintain profitability.
