We’ve installed 16 systems at one plant for this Fortune 100 manufacturer. We’re in the second year of a maintenance contract with this plant, and are on site one day each month to inspect equipment and provide additional training.<br /><br />Our site visits are uneventful. In fact, quite boring. What do we see go wrong? Small things. Number one problem? Camera trigger sensors drift out of adjustment.<br /><br />Why does this company contract mine to have us on site so frequently? Because these systems are critical to their production, and with our help their system utilization stays at about 100%.<br /><br />Despite the boredom, I love visiting this customer. I often come away with new ideas on how to make our systems even more reliable. Relationships like this are truly good for all involved.Brian Durandhttp://www.i4solutions.us/news/machine-vision-maintenance.aspxnoreply@blogger.com
