Cloud software for the consumer products industry and their supply chains. Solutions for material development, testing, color, compliance and collaboration. Texbase Testing reduces data entry costs, improves accuracy and timeliness of information preventing costly development delays. Texbase provides one location for all your testing data and documents. This includes your internal lab (if you have one), all your suppliers, and independent testing labs. Power users can easily create new test methods and define their data definitions without the help of Texbase, IT or consultants. Use the built-in protocols or define your own. The result is consistent and accurate data, fast. Regardless of where it's coming from or its purpose. Integrated fiber, yarn, fabric, and component libraries provide the tools you need to build digital libraries and manage the iterative development process to accelerate innovation while decreasing time to market.

Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) is a closed-loop feedback path in which the user and the supplier work together to collect, record, and analyze failures of both hardware and software data sets. Corrective action (CAR) is greatest during design evolution. It becomes more limited and expensive to implement as a design becomes firm. The resulting analysis identifies corrective actions that should be implemented and verified to prevent failures from recurring. FRACAS promotes reliability improvement throughout the life cycle of the equipment. The method can be used during in-house (laboratory) tests, field (alpha or beta site) tests, and production/operations to determine where problems are concentrated within the design of the equipment.
