Driving next-generation power tool reliability
Reliability isn't just a feature for power tool manufactures; it's the foundation of their entire brand identity. A tool failure on the job site doesn't just mean a warranty claim; it means lost time, lost productivity, and a potential loss of trust for a professional tradesperson.
To overcome these challenges, one of Hottinger Bruel & Kjaer (HBK)'s customers a leading power tool manufacturer implemented a comprehensive Design for Reliability (DfR) program using HBK's ReliaSoft suite, which proactively predicted risk, modelled system performance, accelerated validation and scientifically proved the toughness of its designs.
This data-driven approach provided objective evidence of jobsite reliability, accelerated innovation without compromise, reduced warranty costs by 11%, and reinforced their brand by ensuring the unwavering trust of trade professionals.
