Case Study: Leading Medical Device Company achieves faster quality insights and major cost savings with TIBCO Software's Data Science platform

Medical Device Company Improves Quality, Saves with TIBCO Data Science Software

This market-leading medical device manufacturer, which produces high-volume diagnostic instruments for critical care and hemostasis, faced a growing analytics bottleneck: R&D was “data-rich but analysis-poor,” reliant on IT and one-off Minitab jobs to interrogate millions of sensor and test records across hundreds of thousands of cartridges. The company needed fast, consistent analytics to troubleshoot complex environmental and manufacturing factors, automatically monitor performance, and meet strict regulatory escalation and validation requirements.

They deployed TIBCO Data Science to centralize, schedule, and publish analytic workflows without heavy programming. The platform enabled rapid, repeatable analyses, automated alerts and reporting (including integration with SAP and LabVIEW), and consistent statistical procedures across teams—helping engineers find root causes faster, avoid costly scrapped batches, monitor suppliers, and simplify FDA-required validations, delivering measurable time and cost savings.
