Reduce Risk with 100% In-Process Test
Since 1981, Sciemetric technology and products have enabled various industries, to gain full visibility and control over their manufacturing processes to reduce cost, improve quality, and maximize yield.
At the heart of Sciemetric's product line is Process Signature Verification (PSV) an industry leading technology which enables understanding of the physical behavior of machines and assembly systems; thereby allowing systems to detect defects previously thought to be undetectable. This technology is key to identifying both root causes and efficiencies that boost quality and yield, as well as minimize costs. PSV is significant in manufacturing quality control, and dramatically improves monitoring sensitivity and defect detection over conventional methods.
Sciemetric's convergent technologies help our customers:
Reduce Costs
- Eliminate batch testing
- Manage and minimize recalls
Manage Quality
- Monitor process and product changes
- Intelligent quarantine
Maximize Yield
- In-station process control
- Limit management
Sciemetric has developed a world class traceability system that intelligently links line wide quality systems to provide customers with actionable information about manufacturing quality and yield, as well as providing a part-by-part record of compliance for every process test. This approach to traceability provides a scientific foundation for customers to continually improve manufacturing.
Medical device companies partner with Sciemetric to improve their manufacturing competitiveness and fulfill their regulatory obligations. Zero defects are critical for medical devices and the Sciemetric approach ensures a significant reduction, and often a complete elimination, of destructive batch testing; thereby, lifting quality and improving confidence. Using mathematical algorithms in combination with statistics, Sciemetric's signature analysis technology provides the most detailed process monitoring possible. Sciemetric's technology solutions control the manufacturing quality for class III medical devices, such as pacemakers, internal defibrillators, heart valve replacements, stents, catheters, bone implants, and joint replacement systems. The quality of single use disposable items, including external catheters, syringes, filters, extruded or welded plastic parts, dental tools, IV bags, blood bags, tubing, and anesthesia parts, are also ensured.
Sciemetric has worked steadily to develop a revolutionary and comprehensive monitoring and test strategy for internal combustion engines which can be scaled to cost effectively adapt to any assembly line. This technology has saved Sciemetric customers millions of dollars, with normal paybacks in less than a year and ROI in the 200%+ range. Sciemetric has worked with many of the world's largest automotive companies to develop various solutions for a number of different stations. The immediate benefits of using this technology include increase in first time yield, faster line launch (4X is typical), significantly higher quality, and rapid warranty and recall management.
