Today more than ever, aerospace and defense manufacturers are required to create innovative products based on ever-changing customer requirements. This has led to mass customization, short production runs and an ever- increasing level of complexity in today’s manufacturing environment. In turn, this complexity has made it more difficult to implement typical SPC tools and techniques.

InfinityQS is helping manufacturers meet these challenges. With unparalleled flexibility and advanced statistical capabilities, InfinityQS allows customers to use SPC in virtually any manufacturing environment, no matter how complex. The below companies represent just a sampling of our aerospace and defense customers.

Raytheon:

Raytheon Company, with average annual sales of $21.9 billion, is an industry leader in defense and government electronics, space, information technology, technical services, and business and special mission aircraft. Raytheon’s Vision, Strategy, Goals and Values are the foundation of their company. As a company, they are committed to driving strategic growth, establishing an inclusive culture, improving productivity and providing our customers with Mission Systems Integration, Mission Support and Mission Assurance for each and every product and service they offer. With standards such as these, their quality control process had to be precise and accurate.

Challenge
Raytheon required powerful, feature-rich analytics software to enable real-time process management for the production of silicon wafers with highly precise specifications. It is critical that the dimensions of Raytheon's products be 100 percent accurate, and to meet this specification, they required that all the software in the manufacturing line be compatible. "Due to the precise specifications of our silicon wafers, accuracy is important and the ability to have quality information at our fingertips in real-time was a key aspect in the selection of InfinityQS’ SPC software,” said David Liu, quality engineer at Raytheon.

Solution
Raytheon conducted a comprehensive analysis of InfinityQS SPC software to ensure that it met the requirements of the plant’s quality engineers. InfinityQS' open platform allowed for a smooth, seamless integration across the facility's entire manufacturing line, ensuring accurate, real-time data. “Raytheon came to us with very clear specifications deemed necessary for their plants,” said Michael A. Lyle, president and chief executive officer of InfinityQS. “Quality is a key component of wafer technology, and Raytheon concluded that our SPC software solution met their high standards.”

• Precise, accurate data results in real-time
• Smooth integration of data wtih InfinityQS' import utilities
• Security features for data validity

Results
“My engineers learned to navigate and use the software very easily because of its intuitive design and functionality. The security of the software, one of our major concerns when searching for an SPC solution, has exceeded our expectations,” said Liu.

• Seamless software integration across entire manufacturing line
• Drastically reduced time to import information with InfinityQS' import utlities

Honeywell:

Honeywell Engines in Phoenix, AZ switched from a file-based system to InfinityQS software. Instead of juggling 5,500 files (one for each part), they now use only three projects to easily enter and analyze data on the shop floor.

Gallo Winery in Modesto, CA also uses only a single project to manage all data entry and analysis of over 7,500 wine products run on 17 different fill lines. These two examples demonstrate how the project-based nature of InfinityQS will dramatically simplify your setup and administration, and drastically reduce administrator time.
