Case Study: DRT Mfg. Co. achieves cost reduction and improved product quality with Zontec’s Synergy 2000 SPC

DRT Mfg. Co. Uses Synergy to Achieve Cost Reduction While Building a Better Product

DRT Mfg. Co., a precision tooling and contract manufacturer working to tolerances as tight as .0002", needed a real‑time Statistical Process Control solution after a prospect required SPC and the company sought to reduce costs while improving product consistency. They selected Zontec and its Synergy 2000 SPC software to provide immediate operator feedback, eliminate manual data entry, and meet stringent customer requirements.

Zontec implemented Synergy 2000, integrating the software with machines and gages (including custom interfaces) to deliver automatic, real‑time data and remove human error. The solution helped DRT win business, reduced scrap, rework and cycle time, and enabled use of pre‑control limits to maximize tool life while maintaining quality—producing measurable cost reductions and a better product. Zontec also provided responsive customer support throughout the rollout.
