挑战
The consumer appliance manufacturer was facing numerous challenges from increasing global competition. To stay competitive, they developed a strategy centered on R&D and innovation to produce new technology that would satisfy client needs. To preserve the quality of its design from conception to manufacturing, post-market upgrades and productivity changes, the Manufacturer performed Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This approach helped reduce errors throughout the product lifecycle and avoid costly failures and recalls. However, the FMEA process required many manual hours using standard spreadsheet software to edit, update and format risk reports. The manufacturer was struggling with inefficient analysis of risk, difficulty upholding standards and reactive mitigation of product failures and recalls.
解决方案
The Manufacturer turned to Sphera to improve its quality risk assessment process. Sphera’s Quality Risk and FMEA-Pro solutions offer a framework, configurable methodologies, and risk assessment templates to ensure proper controls are in place. This helps process and discrete manufacturers eliminate complex documents and spreadsheets, maintain consistent analysis of product design and manufacturing processes, apply best practices and retain critical expert knowledge, leverage preformatted industry standard FMEA templates, and link design and manufacturing data sets across the different stages of the product life cycle.

Case Study
Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
