Audio measurement engineering costs constitute a significant portion of organizational operating expenses. Engineers often waste valuable time cleaning data in Excel spreadsheets before extracting useful metrics for R&D and manufacturing activities. This process is time-consuming, inefficient, and costly. The Lyceum Advanced Data Ingestor is a tool that captures Excel behaviors and generates instruction files for cleaning large datasets. Additionally, the tool enhances collaboration among team members by enabling them to upload and post-process 'clean' data on the cloud.
By automating data cleaning and generating instruction files, the Lyceum Advanced Data Ingestor saves engineers valuable time and ensures consistency and accuracy across projects. The solution has been tested and proven effective in various audio product development scenarios. Case studies have demonstrated its ability to save audio measurement engineers approximately 50% of the time previously spent on manual data cleaning, while providing consistent data cleaning instructions applicable to any data format, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
"The Lyceum Advanced Data Ingestor offers a game-changing approach to audio measurement data management, enabling audio engineers to focus on their core responsibilities and produce top-quality audio products. With this revolutionary tool, Lyceum is transforming the audio measurement industry, harmonizing data processing and analysis, and paving the way for a new era of audio product development," says Joshua Levy.
Cleaning audio measurement data is a manual, repetitive, and error-prone task that consumes valuable time. Engineers need to filter data into measurements, limits, yields, and other useful metrics, which can be a lengthy and inefficient process. Furthermore, data format inconsistencies, unit conversions, and other factors complicate the accurate and consistent cleaning of data.
Engineering teams also encounter inconsistent and unreliable data from manufacturing partners in Asia. These partners may not consistently provide high-quality data and may be hesitant to disclose their processes. Consequently, engineers must invest more time cleaning and verifying the data, a significant challenge that intensifies when working with multiple manufacturing partners with unique data formats and quality control processes. The Lyceum Advanced Data Ingestor addresses this challenge by offering consistent data cleaning instructions applicable to any data format, ensuring data accuracy and reliability regardless of its origin.
The Lyceum Advanced Data Ingestor captures Excel behaviors and generates instruction files for cleaning large datasets. The tool applies identical cleaning instructions to every dataset, ensuring consistent data cleaning across projects and minimizing human errors.
Lyceum ingests measurement data from software such as Listen Soundcheck, Klippel QC/dB-Lab, or Audio Precision APx, and provides users the ability to graph/visualize, calculate statistics, and generate yield numbers from a manufacturing build. For many companies who lack the resources to build and customize collaboration tools - never mind supporting the safety requirements of data systems on the cloud - integration with such platforms is a way to accelerate the implementation of connected interfaces, adding value to the services provided to an existing user base.
A case study recently assessed the Lyceum Advanced Data Ingestor's effectiveness in an audio product development process. An audio speaker company developing a new product line compared it with older speakers designed by a former engineer. The company used the Lyceum Advanced Data Ingestor to capture the cleaning instructions for the old speaker data and apply them to the new data. The tool ensured consistency in the data cleaning process, providing accurate and reliable data for analysis. By applying the same cleaning instructions to the new data, the company could compare and analyze the data from the old and new speakers to identify areas for improvement in the new speaker line.
With the Lyceum Advanced Data Ingestor, a manufacturer in Asia can upload all production line data to the cloud, enabling engineers in any country to access and analyze the data in real-time. The tool facilitates collaboration between the Asian manufacturer and the engineers, allowing them to work together to identify and resolve issues on the factory floor.
