TME® Contributes to 50% Increase in Yield for 3D Glass Solutions, Inc.
3D Glass Solutions, Inc. (3DGS) manufactures high-performance 3D radio-frequency technology. With a goal of increasing production capability, 3DGS partnered with MASS Group to implement a TME® Manufacturing Execution System (MES). This strategic partnership has significantly contributed to a substantial advancement in operational performance with over 50% increased yield*, optimized the 3DGS production process, and resulted in a complete digital transformation of operations.
The Challenge
3DGS was encountering several operational challenges, including fragmented workflows from its reliance on spreadsheets, limited operational visibility, manual and error-prone data processes, and frequent equipment downtime.
The impact? Sub-optimal manufacturing yields.
The Solution
The capabilities of TME® MES were paired with MASS Group's expert training. This delivered a seamless digital transition for 3DGS. With no need for complex scripting, TME®’s fast integration and user-friendly configuration allowed 3DGS to quickly adapt to a fully digital environment. The platform's ease of use and agility meant it immediately aligned with 3DGS’s manufacturing workflows, delivering an unprecedented level of process control, asset tracking, and operational transparency right out of the gate.
The Results
With MASS Group’s implementation expertise and comprehensive training, 3DGS was able to transition from a manual Google Docs system to a fully automated MES with TME® in just three months. This leap forward has led to heightened batch quality and increased operational yields. 3DGS has empowered its process oversight, bolstered batch quality, and maximized operational efficiency. These advancements have helped increase yield rates and elevate customer satisfaction, exemplifying the success MASS Group aims for in every partnership.
“The level of customer service and expertise in providing solutions for any questions or problems has been exceptional. By and large, it has been very impactful for us. TME® has been very responsive, solutions-oriented, and helpful in getting us up to speed. It has been a huge improvement from Google Docs.”
