Episode 2
In this episode, we talk with Nick Humpries from Zeiss. Nick shares strategies to head off waste and ensure quality by integrating datasets to monitor production in real-time.
“The time that they used to spend wearing out a path between their workstation and the quality lab, is now all spent at their workstation and they are able to make adjustments in a much quicker fashion. And then the data integrity increased because they were able to mask those first few parts that they ended up scrapping. So we saved them a lot of time, for one, and then a lot of money in scrap as well.”.
