Operational Impact
H2 PowerTech can better document and link quality issues to specific, impacted parts, specifications, procedures, or work instructions—providing improved traceability throughout the corrective action process. “To be able to look at any particular part and see all related quality issues is invaluable for engineers,” said Charney Cohen. “Connecting quality issues to items or assemblies enables our engineers to resolve problems and improve product designs by uncovering this information early on.” | |
As the world transitioned to remote work due to the pandemic, H2 PowerTech was able to continue product development operations across all sites using Arena PLM. “During the pandemic, I went from working in the new factory in South Africa to working from my kitchen table in Oregon,” noted Charney Cohen. “With these huge changes in work and travel, Arena played a key role in our ability to move designs forward and push ECOs through.” | |
H2 PowerTech continues to modify processes within Arena PLM as the company evolves. “Configuring the system is simple and limited only to my imagination,” noted Charney Cohen. “We can create new attributes, make them required fields, and change our routings to match how we do business as requirements change. Having our product data in a single, secure system that scales with our growth is key to our success and our ability to deliver products to market fast and without issues.” | |
