The challenge

The problem

Intermittent field failures are hard to reproduce in the lab. Without root cause, fixes are guesses and returns keep coming.

Cannot reproduce

Intermittent field failures do not show up in the lab.

Guesswork fixes

Without root cause, fixes do not stop the returns.

Fleet-wide impact unknown

Teams cannot tell how many devices are affected.

What we do

Root cause analysis, fix and verification across the fleet.

Failure data collection and analysis

Return unit teardown and analysis

Reproduction in lab and HIL

Root cause report

Fix and fleet-wide rollout
