Accelerating Primary Data Collection and Accuracy with AI

Vishay used Sluicebox to automate primary data collection and validation, accelerating analysis by 7,200x while improving trust in emissions data.

7200x Faster

Primary data collection and modeling at scale.

92% Accurate

Compared with manual results modeled by LCA experts.

The Challenge

Before Sluicebox

Vishay, a global leader in complex active and passive semiconductor components, struggled to collect primary emissions data and validate its accuracy. Manual LCA work frequently introduced issues such as double-counting emissions or modeling similar products inconsistently, which reduced confidence in the data and slowed the team’s ability to answer customer requests or identify major hotspots.

The Solution

After Sluicebox

Sluicebox’s Generative LCAs automated and accelerated primary data collection and validation. The platform incorporated manufacturing inputs at a granular level, down to solder paste, flux, and adhesives, while AI-driven analysis flagged potential errors and inconsistencies. That combination improved consistency, increased trust in the data, and made it easier to identify emissions hotspots quickly.

Key Results

What changed

Accelerated Data Collection

Reduced analysis time per component from about 2 hours to seconds, delivering a 7,200x acceleration in primary data processing.

Exceptional Accuracy

Achieved emissions calculation accuracy within 8–12% of manual LCAs, outperforming common industry variability ranges.

Automated Error Detection

Systematically flagged inconsistencies and errors early, improving the integrity of the primary data used in emissions calculations.

Rapid Hotspot Identification

Highlighted critical emissions hotspots quickly, including Pin Pressfit as a major raw-material contributor.

Sluicebox accelerates scalable, trusted primary data collection at the manufacturing-site level, using AI to proactively flag errors and drive deep insights—enabling Vishay to confidently meet customer sustainability demands.
