Case Study: Saft (high-tech battery manufacturer) achieves 50% reduction in manual production and maintenance hours with QAD EQMS

Quality Management Systems Improve Business

Saft, a global leader in high‑technology batteries serving industrial, aerospace and defense markets, faced tightly regulated customer and certification requirements (ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO18001, TS16949). Production, maintenance and calibration tracking were largely manual and fragmented across spreadsheets and forms, making audits slow, reducing transparency and preventing effective predictive maintenance.

Saft implemented QAD Enterprise Quality Management System (EQMS) for its robustness and configurability, consolidating siloed processes into one automated platform. The system cut manual production and maintenance tracking hours by 50%, improved calibration control and quality‑issue analysis, streamlined audits, reduced errors, and enabled scalable growth as the company expands engineering capacity.
