A leading tire manufacturer faced a persistent challenge in tracking and addressing quality issues within its production process. Adding a barcode to the quality check forms helped reduce defects by 10%.
Automotive is a $100 million market, and a massive aftermarket estimated to be anywhere from $325 to $427 billion. Every one of these vehicles and after-market parts needs one or more automotive labels— and off-the-shelf solutions often won't do.
Tire labels are asked to do some heavy lifting. The surfaces of tires are irregularly textured and covered with contaminants. Yet manufacturers require that these labels stay affixed through manufacturing, retreading, and distribution. They must also stay clean, white, and legible. Here is the solution.
Auto service centers rely on unit set forms for inspections and claims, but mechanics often fill out these forms by hand. Poor penmanship can result in errors on the back end that can kill profits. Wise found a better way!
