CIMTEK Introduces Integrated Solution for Quality Lifecycle Management; Ensures Quality Excellence from Design to Post-Production Support
CIMTEK introduced an integrated solution set for product testing that solves the manufacturers' dilemma: how to deliver products faster, better and cheaper without sacrificing quality. The Boston-based leader in functional test platforms now delivers advanced hardware, software and services to revolutionize the contribution of test systems and strategies for the product quality lifecycle.
Recent high-profile stories around product safety and quality are driving a call to action for more robust processes that can minimize the risk of product failure - that's where CIMTEK thrives. Its solutions integrate information and action to increase overall product life spans and drastically reduce product return rates.
"Product quality is the single biggest gating factor in a manufacturer's success - it effects everything from revenue to competitive advantage to customer loyalty," said Stan Smith, CEO and president of CIMTEK. "Our solution extends the value that the test process delivers to quality excellence by increasing predictability and reliability for any product line."
CIMTEK combines expertise, insight and world-class hardware platforms to help manufacturers design, execute and integrate test strategies that improve the entire product lifecycle - from component sourcing through production and repair. As a result:
Test strategies are designed to solve possible trouble spots sooner. CIMTEK's services organization leverages expertise gained from thousands of new product introductions in automotive, avionics, electronics and industrial manufacturing.
Material waste, cycle time, field returns and labor hours are reduced, along with an added layer of quality and reliability. CIMTEK's software delivers predictive analysis with benchmark data on components and suppliers for better returns on design and production.
Potential defects are identified and repaired long before breakthrough innovation turns into a costly exercise in futility. Off-the-shelf or customized, CIMTEK's functional test platforms evaluate product performance across many dimensions - electrical, mechanical and environmental limits for optimized performance.
Many of the world's largest manufacturers, including Microsoft Corp., Motorola, Inc., Honeywell, Siemens, Visteon Corporation, Delphi Corporation and DuPont, rely on CIMTEK to improve how products are designed, produced and serviced. From video game consoles to air bag systems and cockpit communications equipment, hundreds of product lines have been tested for quality, reliability and functionality on CIMTEK's platforms.
CIMTEK solves one of manufacturing's biggest challenges: how to bring high-quality products to market quickly and cost-effectively. With CIMTEK's Quality Lifecycle Management , manufacturers leverage critical information on performance, functionality and reliability captured in the test phase to drive higher quality designs, smarter sourcing and consistently profitable products. Since 1986, CIMTEK has been the partner of choice for innovative test solution by leaders in aerospace, automotive, high-tech and industrial manufacturing.
