How the Datapaq EasyTrack3 Helped a Manufacturer Achieve Consistent Quality and Cost Savings

A small manufacturing company that produces composite materials has always struggled with ensuring a consistent curing process, resulting in costly defects and rework. They knew they needed a solution that could help achieve a constant curing process and improve the quality of their products. Intrigued by the Datapaq EasyTrack3 capabilities, the customer contacted our sales team, who helped them choose the appropriate data logger for their application.

Once they received the EasyTrack3, they installed it inside a thermal barrier configured for their application and placed it in the furnace with their product. The Datapaq EasyTrack3 data logger gets its readings through connected thermocouples, that are attached to the product itself. The furnace is run according to the manufacturer's specifications, and the Datapaq EasyTrack3 data logger records the temperature of the product as it moves through the furnace.

After a few cycles, the customer reviewed the data and saw that the EasyTrack3 had identified several issues in the curing process that he had not been aware of before. Certain parts of the curing process were not achieving the desired temperature, leading to incomplete curing or poor quality output. Armed with this information, the customer adjusted the temperature settings and the timing of the curing process to ensure that all product parts were exposed to the correct temperature for the appropriate time.

Over time, this customer saw significant improvements in the quality of their products. Defects were reduced, and they no longer waste time and money on rework. They also achieved cost savings by avoiding scrapping products due to curing issues. This customer was thrilled with the results they had achieved with the Datapaq EasyTrack3 system. They had finally found a solution that could help them accomplish a consistent curing process and improve the quality of their products.

The Datapaq EasyTrack3 is a game-changer for manufacturers that must ensure a consistent curing process. This customer’s success story is proof that investing in a Datapaq system can lead to significant improvements in product quality and cost savings over time.
