Thermal imaging
June 1st 2010 KNAPP UK's resident customer
support team at the distribution
centre of shoe retailer Clarks has used
thermal imaging techniques to save
the customer in excess of a quarter of
a million pounds in potential repair
and downtime costs in just 3 months.
At Clarks' warehouse in Somerset,
the thermal imaging highlighted a
damaged motor and gearbox, a
problem PLC, a phase imbalance on
a shrink-wrapping machine and
damage to the X-axis on a stacker
crane. Says Kevin Ashman, site
manager for KNAPP at Clarks, "We
would never have found these risky
problems at this stage without the
thermal imaging equipment.
Correcting these faults in a
controlled way avoided breakdowns
that would have been extremely
costly for Clarks." More articles from KNAPP UK Ltd: |
