RT

QUALITY FIREWALL

Driving zero-defect Manufacturing

RT Terminal is a hands-on shop-floor quality firewall built to control the assembly process where defects are actually created. It helps manufacturers prevent missing parts, skipped steps, incorrect tests, weak traceability, and uncontrolled deviations by combining interlocking, process control, operator accountability, test validation, and real-time visibility into one practical system. RT is not just software that gets installed and forgotten; it is customized around your plant, your products, and your production risks so quality is protected at every critical step before defective parts reach the customer.

6 MODULES TO PROTECT YOUR QUALITY

RT Protection Areas

RT INTERLOCK

RT Interlock module protects your production line against:

1.Missing or wrong components.
Skipping a process step.
No interlock to stop. incorrect assembly

Typical ROI example for one production line: Assume a line produces 200,000 units/year, and these errors affect just 1.5% of output. That means 3,000 impacted units/year.

Cost per affected unit:
Scrap/rework labor and material: $35/unit
Downtime and disruption impact: $15/unit
Containment / sorting / investigation: $10/unit
Total quality loss per bad unit: $60
Annual loss without protection:
3,000 units × $60 = $180,000/year
With error-proofing / interlock / component verification:
If the system prevents 70% of these issues, annual savings are:
$180,000 × 70% = $126,000/year

RT CAM

RT CAM protects your production line against:

1.No quick root cause detection.

Typical ROI example for one production line: Assume a line produces 200,000 units/year, and slow root cause detection causes a recurring issue that affects 1% of output before the cause is identified. That means 2,000 impacted units/year.

Cost created by delayed root cause detection:
Scrap / rework: $30/unit
Extra sorting / containment: $12/unit
Downtime during investigation: $10/unit
Engineering / quality labor: $8/unit
Total cost per impacted unit: $60
Annual loss without fast root cause detection:
2,000 units × $60 = $120,000/year
With faster detection and traceability:
If the system reduces impact by 65% through faster identification, quicker containment, and shorter investigations, annual savings are:
$120,000 × 65% = $78,000/year

RT OPGUIDE

RT OPGUIDE protects your production line against:

1.Misreading work instructions
2.Control plan not enforced
3.Temporary deviation not properly controlled
4.No accountability

Typical ROI example for one production line: Assume a line produces 200,000 units/year, and operator-related process control issues such as misreading work instructions, control plan not enforced, temporary deviations not properly controlled, and no accountability affect just 1.2% of output. That equals 2,400 impacted units/year.

Cost per impacted unit:
Rework / scrap: $28/unit
Extra inspection / sorting / containment: $12/unit
Downtime / disruption: $8/unit
Quality / supervisor / investigation labor: $7/unit
Total quality loss per impacted unit: $55
Annual loss without stronger process control:
2,400 units × $55 = $132,000/year
With digital work instructions, enforced control plans, controlled deviation management, and operator accountability:
If the system reduces these issues by 70%, annual savings are:
$132,000 × 70% = $92,400/year

RT GUARD

RT GUARD protects your production line against:

1.Bypassed or opened pass/fail windows
2.No validation of test limits
3.Incorrect test parameter windows

Typical ROI example for one production line: Assume a line produces 200,000 units/year, and poor test control such as bypassed pass/fail windows, unvalidated test limits, and incorrect test parameter windows affects just 1% of output. That equals 2,000 suspect or mis-tested units/year.

Cost per impacted unit:
Scrap / rework: $32/unit
Additional testing / retest / troubleshooting: $10/unit
Containment / sorting / quality labor: $8/unit
Customer risk / field exposure reserve: $10/unit
Total cost per impacted unit: $60
Annual loss without proper test control:
2,000 units × $60 = $120,000/year
With locked test windows, validated limits, and controlled parameter management:
If the system reduces these issues by 75%, annual savings are:
$120,000 × 75% = $90,000/year

RT DATA+SHIPPING

RT DATA protects your production line against:

1.Defect parts making their way to shipping box
2.No part level shipping traceability
3.No traceability

Typical ROI example for one production line: Assume 200,000 units/year, and just 0.8% of output is affected by defect parts reaching shipping, no part-level shipping traceability, and no traceability records. That is 1,600 impacted units/year.

More realistic cost per impacted unit:
Replacement / return / warranty handling: $40/unit
Customer sorting / containment / line disruption: $35/unit
Internal sorting / investigation / admin labor: $20/unit
Expedited freight / reshipment / field response: $15/unit
Recall and traceability exposure reserve: $40/unit
Total cost per impacted unit: $150
Annual loss without strong shipping traceability:
1,600 units × $150 = $240,000/year
With part-level traceability, shipping verification, and defect blocking:
If the system reduces these issues by 75%, annual savings are:
$240,000 × 75% = $180,000/year
