GainSeeker Real-Time SPC Data Eliminates Costly Guessing

Senior Flexonics - GA Precision, Wisconsin, faced a significant challenge in accurately determining the tool life for each of the thousands of tools used in their manufacturing processes. The Business Unit Manager, Phil Kapalczynski, doubted the claims made by tooling vendors regarding tool life but lacked accurate data to verify these claims. The existing method of tracking tool life was cumbersome, relying on paper records that were often incomplete or difficult to interpret. This lack of reliable data made it challenging to ensure that operators accurately documented tool failure and replacement, leading to inefficiencies and potential downtime. Kapalczynski envisioned a cost-effective, automated method to track tool life, identify problem tools, increase uptime, and eliminate second-guessing. Accurate data records were needed to hold vendors accountable when tools did not perform as promised.
