Early Detection a Boon for Manufacturer Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments is utilizing InfluxDB to monitor its manufacturing operation and detect issues before they become costly. The company's Probe Engineering and Manufacturing Supervisor, Michael Hinkle, discovered InfluxDB while searching for a way to identify and troubleshoot problems in real-time on the production line. Texas Instruments designs, manufactures, tests, and sells semiconductors that power many high-tech instruments and appliances. With upwards of 1,000 different signals of potential trouble to monitor, the end goal is to build apps that can surface only the critical issues and eventually, take action themselves.
