Challenge: Ensuring Business Continuity During thr COVID 19 Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sensor Solutions faced the formidable challenge of maintaining critical test programs across various industries while adhering to strict health and safety protocols. One particularly pressing task involved a car manufacturer in Slovakia that required precision testing of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). The project was essential to the client’s production timeline, and Sensor Solutions needed to find a way to execute the work seamlessly despite travel restrictions and on-site limitations.
Solution: Adaptation and Remote Collaboration
XXXX demonstrated an exceptional willingness to adapt, leveraging innovative solutions to overcome logistical and technical challenges. The process unfolded as follows:
- Shipping and Preparation:
- The customer shipped the PCB components to Sensor Solutions facility for the necessary strain gauge installation and calibration.
- Once the strain gauge work was completed, Sensor Solutions arranged for the PCBs and Data Acquisition (DAQ) system to be securely shipped back to Slovakia.
- Addressing Expertise Gaps:
- The customer had limited experience with the DAQ system and no available time for training before their testing program was scheduled to begin. This posed a potential bottleneck in the project timeline.
- Remote Execution:
- To bridge this gap, Sensor Solutions engineers took remote control of the DAQ system from their location.
- Sensor Solutions managed the data collection process in real-time, allowing the customer to focus on running their testing program without the added burden of mastering the new system.
Outcome: Seamless delivery amid crisis
By embracing remote technology and maintaining close communication with the client, Sensor Solutions ensured the success of the project. The PCB testing program was executed on schedule, and the customer was able to proceed with their production timeline without disruption.
