What are Industrial Dashboards and how do they help in production?

Industrial dashboards are visual control panels that display key performance indicators (KPIs), alerts, production data, and real-time testing. They are essential for quick decision-making, traceability, and process optimization in modern, connected, and intelligent production environments. Dashboards transform raw data into intelligent decisions — in real-time. 🧩 Why use dashboards in

What is Kanban and how does it organize production?

Kanban is a visual workflow management system, originally created in Japan by Toyota, aimed at optimizing production, reducing inventory, and increasing efficiency. Using physical or digital cards, Kanban allows real-time tracking of task status, production orders, or material movement. Kanban makes the invisible visible — and turns chaos into flow.

What is FMEA?

The FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) or Failure Modes and Effects Analysis is a systematic methodology used to identify, prioritize, and mitigate risks of failure in products, processes, or systems. The goal is to anticipate what can go wrong, understand the effects of these failures, and take actions to

What is Repair Process Standardization?

The standardization of repair processes involves defining and applying consistent and traceable technical procedures at all stages of diagnosis, intervention, and validation of defective products — whether in repair centers, production lines, laboratories, or after-sales. With well-defined flows, the company ensures quality, safety, repeatability, and cost reduction with rework and

What is the DUT Failure History?

The DUT failure history is the complete record of all defects, anomalous behaviors, and test statuses that a given tested product has exhibited throughout its lifecycle — from initial testing to possible field returns (RMA). This history is essential for the identification of recurring failures, technical traceability, continuous improvement, and
