CASE STUDY
Enabling Zero-Defect Manufacturing
Data-Driven Quality Intelligence for a Medical Devices Manufacturer
The Challenge
The manufacturer faced increasing pressure to achieve near-zero defects while complying with stringent regulatory requirements:
Sporadic quality issues leading to batch rejections
Root cause analysis was slow and largely manual
Process parameters were monitored but not correlated with quality outcomes
Audit preparation required extensive data collation
Lack of early warning indicators before defects occurred
The leadership needed a system that could detect deviations early, support data-backed investigations, and strengthen quality governance—without disrupting validated processes.
Why BayaSense
BayaSense was selected for its ability to act as a real-time quality intelligence layer:
Edge-based monitoring without altering validated machine logic
High-frequency capture of critical process parameters
Time-aligned correlation between machine behavior and quality outcomes
Audit-ready data trails and dashboards
Scalable architecture aligned with Industry 4.0 quality practices
Most importantly, BayaSense supported continuous improvement without re-validation risk.
Business Impact
35–40% reduction in quality defects within 6 months
25% reduction in rework and scrap costs
Faster batch release cycles
Improved audit outcomes and reduced compliance risk
Higher customer confidence and fewer quality escalations
Deployment Scope

Beyond Zero Defect: The Quality Roadmap
With BayaSense in place, the manufacturer is now positioned to:
Introduce predictive quality analytics
Correlate environmental, machine, and process variables
Support digital device history records (eDHR)
Integrate selectively with QMS and MES systems
Advance toward closed-loop quality control
Client Snapshot
Industry: Medical Devices Manufacturing
Company Size: Mid-sized, export-oriented manufacturer
