A Hexagon Case Study
Köppel AG, a Swiss contract manufacturer specializing in metalworking, faced the challenge of transitioning from manual measurements to automated technology. Their primary needs were an easy-to-use system that could be operated directly on the production floor by their machine operators, ensuring continuous production flow. They sought a reliable partner and solution, ultimately selecting the TIGO SF coordinate measuring machine from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence.
Hexagon's solution, the TIGO SF with PC-DMIS CAD software, provided intuitive operation that allowed production workers to perform measurements seamlessly. This implementation resulted in a significant reduction in errors compared to manual checks and drastically minimized waste by enabling early adjustments during production. The investment paid for itself within just nine months by eliminating external measurement services and reducing downtime, fully meeting Köppel AG's expectations for increased productivity and efficiency.
