How Medical Device Manufacturers Simplify Design of Experiments with Cornerstone?
In a manufacturing landscape shaped by AI and automation, statistical Design of Experiments (DoE) continues to prove its value, especially in medical technology development. While some may view DoE as a method of the past, it remains critical for driving innovation, maintaining compliance, and optimizing processes.
As an advanced statistical analysis platform, Cornerstone enables engineers and process specialists to implement DoE without programming expertise. With a guided interface and scalable performance, the software simplifies statistical analysis for teams aiming to improve quality and efficiency in regulated manufacturing environments.

The Real-World Challenge: Process Optimization Under Regulatory Pressure
Medical device manufacturers face high expectations for quality, traceability, and regulatory compliance. Development cycles must remain efficient, yet experimentation and documentation often require significant effort. Many teams lack the time, resources, or programming knowledge to fully utilize advanced data analysis methods.
This is where Cornerstone supports organizations—providing a solution that makes statistical methods more approachable without compromising reliability.
Why Traditional DoE Is Still a Competitive Advantage
DoE offers structured, evidence-based insight into process behavior. Unlike AI tools that depend on large volumes of historical data, DoE allows users to uncover new relationships through controlled experimentation.
By systematically varying the influencing factors and analyzing the results with Cornerstone's powerful statistical tools, processes are optimized in a targeted and sustainable manner.
With Cornerstone, the number of experiments that need to be conducted can be minimized without compromising statistical significance. This saves time, costs, and resources in development.
