Instrumental Find and fix product issues with data and AI for electronics manufacturing

What is Instrumental?

Instrumental delivers a comprehensive AI and data platform designed for complex electronics manufacturing, transforming how companies approach quality control and failure analysis. The platform aggregates manufacturing data across the product lifecycle, creating a traceable record connected by serial numbers.

The system employs advanced AI capabilities to detect novel defects using minimal sample sizes, perform hundreds of visual inspections in real-time, and dramatically accelerate failure analysis processes. With features spanning from new product introduction to mass production, it enables companies to improve engineering efficiency, ensure zero defects, and achieve significant cost savings.

FAQs

Can I get a monthly license to the platform and AI capabilities?

While annual licenses are standard, monthly packages are available for emergency situations requiring short-term AI capabilities.
How do I predict my data and image volume?

The Instrumental team assists in estimating required data and image volumes, and unused data/images can be rolled over to the next licensing cycle.
What kind of support services are included?

Standard support includes remote setup, user training, and technical support. Upgraded support packages with enhanced SLA and additional support hours are available.
Am I buying hardware/station?

Customers can choose between integrating their own equipment or using Instrumental's equipment through a nominal licensing fee, with the flexibility to redeploy stations as needed.
