PWR Advanced Cooling Technology Supercharges Quality Control with 1factory

In the world of elite motorsports, where performance is measured in milliseconds, PWR Advanced Cooling Technology is a recognized global leader in high-performance thermal solutions. With customers ranging from Formula 1 and NASCAR to World Rally Championship and Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, PWR’s bespoke radiators, intercoolers, and oil coolers are trusted by the fastest machines on the planet.

To maintain that edge, PWR recently transformed its global quality control processes through a successful deployment of the 1factory quality management platform, replacing time-consuming manual systems with real-time, cloud-based inspection and reporting tools.

Solving the Bottlenecks of Innovation

Before adopting 1factory, PWR faced increasing operational pressure:

• Quality control teams were buried in manual data entry and reporting
• Crucial inspection data was spread across disconnected systems
• Administrative overhead slowed down production timelines
• A lack of standardization created inconsistencies between global sites

The company recognized that scaling their operations—without sacrificing the precision their reputation is built on—required a comprehensive, integrated solution.

A Global Rollout, A Unified System

PWR implemented 1factory across two international facilities, with over 100 users now operating within the platform. The results have been transformational:

• Streamlined inspections: Quality professionals can now focus on inspection and analysis, rather than documentation
• In-process control: Real-time inspections on the shop floor enable immediate feedback and issue resolution
• Cross-functional collaboration: Project engineering and quality assurance work side-by-side with a shared data environment
• Standardization: Global teams follow the same quality protocols, ensuring consistency and compliance across borders

Results That Matter

With the 1factory platform, PWR has seen:

• A dramatic reduction in time spent generating inspection reports
• Faster turnaround for quality reviews and approvals
• Increased confidence among customers through consistent, validated quality
• Stronger alignment between engineering, production, and quality teams

A One-Stop Quality Solution

“If a company is looking for improvement—whether in standardization, resource allocation, time management, or eliminating quality bottlenecks—then 1factory is a powerful one-stop quality control solution,” said Andrew Styman, Head of Quality at PWR.

The platform’s user-focused design, real-time analytics, and continual upgrades based on customer feedback have made it a key component in PWR’s ongoing mission to lead the industry in performance and reliability.
