Neil has extensive experience in the development and manufacture of high-tech electro/optic products for industrial and highly regulated markets. He is passionate about developing automated processes and test systems that return value through feedback and data-driven insights. This is essential for any closed loop or Agile manufacturing environment to rapidly validate incremental changes in the most cost-effective way.Quality control is the single most important process in determining whether your product is trusted … or not! However human factors remain a major factor in QC failures.› Most QC systems are paper-based making it difficult to actively track, trace and ‘gate’ products on the fly.› In regulated markets (Medical Devices, Aerospace, Food and Bev, etc), failures in the QC process can quickly escalate to product recalls. These have catastrophic and costly consequences, often caused by a simple and easily preventable human error.› Paper-based processes can be replaced by a system that captures production and test information digitally. This data can be instantly assessed, validated, and documented.We work closely with the Manufacturing, CI, NPI and Quality teams to set up an intelligent system that combines digital workflow management with autonomous quality control. • Reduces the occurrence of human errors• Improves reliability and reduces operating risk• Paperless operations• Product and workorder validation checks, before and after each operation • Autonomous Quality gating.• On-demand production records and auditable traceability reports• Intelligent analytics, from standard SPC monitoring to predictive analytics• Configurable, real-time dashboardsAnd most importantly - the platform is owned and managed by Engineering, not IT+61 433 569 594neil@medulla.net
