About UMC: Ultra Machining Company (UMC) manufactures complex medical device, aerospace, and defense components.
The Problem: UMC had five separate quality control software solutions to perform all the tasks from drawing ballooning to plan creation, first articles, inspection data collection, PPAP creation etc. The old systems were very slow (it was often faster to do work manually than use the system), could not handle the large number of parameters (100 to 800 parameters per part), and could not handle the volume of data being generated (1 million data points per month).
The Selection Process: UMC had put together a list of 145 requirements, and evaluated 12 vendors before selecting 1factory.
The 1factory Solution: With 1factory, UMC was able to eliminate 5 different pieces of software, and perform all their QC tasks in one single software. The 1factory system is very easy-to-use. Technicians required only 15 minutes of training to get started. It's also lightning fast - unlike the older systems, data entry and chart refresh in 1factory is instantaneous. 1factory now collects measurement data from 20 CMMs and 8 VCMMs automatically 24x7x365. It easily handles 800 parameters or more, lot sizes of over a 1000 parts, and collects over 1 million data points a month. Real-time feedback from CMM to machinist allows machinist to make process corrections. With 1factory, UMC has eliminated paper and excel files from the QC activities on the factory floor, and enabled collaboration.
