10 Case Studies
A WATS Case Study
SKIDATA, a worldwide leader in access solutions and revenue management for parking facilities, stadiums, amusement parks, airports, and mountain destinations, needed better visibility into its test and production processes as product complexity grew. The company struggled with limited test data insight, basic reporting, and slow issue resolution, making it difficult for test engineers to quickly identify root causes and act on problems. WATS provided the test data management and analysis capabilities SKIDATA was looking for.
With WATS, SKIDATA connected current test stations using its internal data format and quickly implemented prototypes while converting historical data, without changing its own platform or test sequencer. The result was much faster analysis: SKIDATA could detect test values and determine root cause in about one minute, down from more than 30 minutes using Excel-based comparisons. With WATS, the company gained real-time manufacturing and testing insights across all plants, improved maintenance planning, fixed defects within an hour, and boosted product quality while saving money.
