   Recording measurements directly (objectively) from measuring instruments using digital attachments. Elimination of data input errors and/or omissions.

2. **Tracking Cost of Quality**  
   Computing "cost of poor quality" for each batch or process and associating rejects to specific root causes.

3. **Integration of Supplier Quality**  
   Real-time remote and concurrent visibility of supplier batch/process quality to an OEM customer, prior to dispatch!  
   Achieving accuracy and speed in the inspection of visual defects using an integrated machine vision system.

   Establishing the last mile connectivity to major energy guzzlers in the plant using a non-intrusive sensor.

2. **Automated Baselining**  
   Automatic computation of "business as usual" profiles of energy consumption of a machine/process for every product type.

3. **Production-Energy Optimization**  
   Smart computation of energy consumption for every product (energy intensity) produced.

4. **Comparison of Energy Usage**  
   Comparison of the energy performances of identical machines to understand why one machine is behaving better than the others!

**BORG CONNECT®**  
Implementation of Energy Saving Strategies.  
Smart computation of the expected savings & implementation of energy savings strategies to reduce energy consumption.

## INDUSTRY USE CASES

### PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT  
A Tier 1 supplier tracks performance of CNC Machines in order to make incremental changes to improve performance within a shift.

### DEFECT CHARACTERIZATION  
A Tier 2 supplier avoids human errors and omissions by automating the assignment of root causes of quality defects.

### ASSET PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT  
Large Utility achieves unified visibility of KPIs & early warnings of anomalies in its boilers' operating performance.

A Wastewater Treatment Plant Achieves Usage-Based Preventive Maintenance across its 600+ Pumps using a single Logical Rule.

### QUALITY PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT  
An Auto Parts Supplier objectively records (without human data entry), In-Process & End-of-Line QC measurements.

An Automotive OEM remotely tracks in real-time Supplier Batch Quality before shipment & whether OEM's QC Plans have been followed completely.

### ENERGY PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT  
A Top Food Processor tracks, logs & is notified of Power Quality events to curb utility penalties.

A Tractor OEM monitors & reduces weekly energy consumption of a Paint Line across different shifts.

A Printing Plant implements energy savings strategies (e.g. Load Shedding) during specific shift periods.
