OptiSense early warning system saves tens of thousands of euros

During the live event of trade journal BESSER LACKÄR at Giga Coating in Twist, OptiSense Sales Manager Jörg Mülleneisen gave a presentation on coating thickness inspection systems for even more resource efficiency in coating.
It was no coincidence that Mülleneisen titled his presentation “Coating thickness measurement as a profitable adjusting screw”: host and OptiSense customer Giga-Coating was able to confirm that the company would have to reckon with a loss of several thousand euros if only a single part was overcoated.
These faulty coatings are now detected by the PaintChecker Mobile, the non-contact OptiSense test device, as an early warning system even before the curing oven.
OptiSense goes QIB

OptiSense will have an information booth on non-contact coating thickness measurement at the QIB Jubiläums-Praxisforum on November 17-18 in Wetzlar. In addition, Sascha Schmidt, OptiSense Sales Manager, and Martin Kolenda from the Metob group, will talk about "All-in-One Coating Thickness Testing of Highly Complex Components as a Profitable Process Tuning Parameter".
Resource efficiency becomes a competitive advantage

Rising material and energy prices as well as costs for scrap and disposal make the efficient use of resources an economically attractive challenge for coating companies. Test and measurement technology can make an important contribution to resource efficiency. The interview with OptiSense Managing Director Dr. Jens Heymans shows the potential and also gives a glimpse into the company's green ideas.
