Maximizing Production Shutdowns at VALEO VISION SYSTEMS
Downtime comes at a cost—lost time, lost money, and reduced efficiency. Every hour a machine sits idle can lead to economic setbacks and potential delays. To help our customer, VALEO VISION SYSTEMS, we found a solution to minimize these risks.
By strategically utilizing scheduled shutdown periods, we executed a thorough on-site calibration - without any additional disruption to production. Thanks to our mobile calibration service, VALEO VISION SYSTEMS not only upheld its consistently high quality standards but also achieved notable savings in both time and costs.
