oil gas aThe Challenge  An oil and gas company had gone through
multiple acquisitions and experienced supplier attrition as well
as documentation issues. Prints and bill of materials (BOM) were
hard to define.  The Linear Solution  Linear did an obsolete and
alternate material analysis. Utilizing design for manufacturing
(DFM), Linear updated old processes and antiquated technology.
New documentation packages were created and the electronics
assembly was streamlined into current manufacturing processes.
The Success  A prototype was built and tested. Linear did the
box build which communicated with satellites to collect data and
perform pipeline trouble shooting. The new documentation package
helped the oil and gas company achieve ISO and CSA
certification.
