Japanese electronics manufacturer leverages
data lifecycle analytics platform to help accelerate new product
introduction ramp-up with high reliability and efficiency
NI (NASDAQ: NATI) today announced Nidec Small Precision Motor
and Solutions Business Unit is using the OptimalPlus big data
analytics platform to help accelerate new product introduction
(NPI) ramp-up and improve manufacturing efficiency. By leveraging
OptimalPlus technology, now part of NI, Nidec hopes to improve
product quality and drive higher levels of customer satisfaction
and loyalty.
With increasing demand for product reliability due to the
proliferation of smart consumer electronics and autonomous cars,
ensuring quality and expediting time to market is presenting great
challenges for manufacturers worldwide, especially as mechanical
and electronic components and manufacturing processes become more
complex. The challenge is exacerbated when devices are assembled
with hundreds to thousands of subcomponents originating in
disparate geographies, and that relevant data is dispersed across
separate siloes. This combination makes it exceedingly difficult
for manufacturers to understand where the source of product issues
may be, address them, and accelerate NPI.
Nidec is always seeking to improve its operations and enhance
efficiencies by leveraging advanced technologies. The big data
analytics enabled through NI’s OptimalPlus platform, together with
its advanced genealogy and root cause analysis capabilities, allows
Nidec to extract the insights needed from manufacturing data to
overcome quality challenges. This helps them accelerate NPI ramp-up
while ensuring their customers get only the best products
available.
“We are delighted to be partnering with Nidec on their time to
market and efficiency mission, and are proud of the significant
impact we believe we can make on the success of the effort,” said
Uzi Baruch, VP of Transportation Business Unit at NI.
