A Northwest Analytics Case Study
Crompton Technology Gruop, a Banbury-based maker of advanced filament-wound composite parts, needed to meet stringent aerospace quality and traceability requirements while handling a much larger volume of dimensional, ultrasonic and material-batch data—without disrupting existing paper-based workflows. To solve this, the company adopted NWA Quality Monitor from Northwest Analytics.
Northwest Analytics deployed NWA Quality Monitor at seven shop-floor stations, using templates that replicate paper travellers, direct connections to measuring equipment, live SPC and a central database. The system gives instant visual tolerance feedback, eliminates re-keying, produces a color-coded “super traveller,” and automates Certificates of Conformity, packing lists and shipping labels—improving speed and reliability. CTG currently makes about 40 shafts per week (projected to grow to 40 per day as production ramps) and is rolling the solution out to other product lines.
