The company
Esseti Circuiti Stampati makes electronic boards for defence, aerospace, medical, railway and power management. Production cycles are complex: many phases, carried out by many different machines.
Keeping that process under control takes a lot of energy, especially to stay compliant with military and aerospace certifications.
The challenge
Hitting those quality levels meant countless checks. Esseti needed to:
Simplify the management of production cycles
Monitor progress easily and in real time
Automate quality reporting to free up time
Archive non-conformity photos more easily
Results
Operators needed only a short training, and rollout had minimal impact on operations. After full rollout:
Real-time, remote visibility of production status
Paper-free field data collection, saving 1.5 hours a day
A faster NPI process, saving 3 hours a week
Up-to-date drawings and specs reach the floor with every work order
One-click quality and compliance reports, saving 8 hours a month
New KPIs tracked, such as on-time delivery
“Auditors are impressed. A large defense company said we’re well ahead of other suppliers in terms of control.”
