Quality You Can Repeat: How OPEX Lifted First-Pass Yield on Every Line

Quality shouldn't be a game of catch-up. Learn how OPEX Corp. embedded quality into every build step, boosted first-pass yield from single digits to 80%, and is exploring how AI can take manufacturing quality even further.

On-Demand Webinar | Hosted by IndustryWeek

On a complex assembly line, quality can turn into a losing game of catch-up. You inspect at the end, rework whatever fails, and chase the same defects over and over without ever seeing which ones are actually costing you. First-pass yield stays stuck, and every fix feels like firefighting.

OPEX Corporation, a manufacturer of high-volume warehouse and parcel-handling automation equipment, lived that, with first-pass yield in the single digits. Then they changed their approach: Instead of inspecting quality at the end, they built it into each step of the build and made every defect visible and traceable. The team could finally see what was costing them the most and fix it at the source, and first-pass yield climbed from single digits to more than 80%, line after line.

Join Tanya Hamlin, Project Manager for Business Systems at OPEX Corp., and Joelle Dennig, Customer Success Manager at Tulip, for a fireside chat on exactly how they did it, and why OPEX Corp. is exploring where AI takes quality next. If you're tired of catching quality problems too late, this webinar is for you.

What You'll Learn

  • Why inspecting quality at the end keeps you in rework, and what it looks like to move the check into each step instead.

  • How to make defects visible and traceable so you can fix what is actually costing you, not the same things on repeat.

  • How real-time production dashboards can drive adoption and stronger cross-team collaboration.

  • How OPEX Corp. repeats the same approach on every new line to lift first-pass yield consistently, not just once.
