Tracks: Maintenance & Reliability

3D laser measuring technology has become the new maintenance standard in caster workshops. With the adaptation of Industry 4.0, this process can be streamlined by utilizing caster data and displaying complex measurements using a user-friendly, app-based HMI on any cell phone or tablet. This technology allows casters molds, segments and carrier frames to be perfectly aligned by using this intelligent software to increase repeatability, reduce confusion and increase productivity.
