SCHERDEL

The starting position

Ensure quality. Reduce costs. Stay flexible.

SCHERDEL wanted to have an existing stamped part inspected automatically. The challenge was that the product runs in very high quantities and both measuring and testing activities had to be automated. The company was looking for a flexible and simple solution without having to go down the route of a costly special solution.

Simple and standardized solution

No complex and expensive special solution, but simple and flexible to integrate.

Reduce staff deployment

Automation is intended to save personnel and therefore also costs.

Increase quality, minimize errors

Automation should ensure consistently high quality.
