Decreasing Downtime with Automation PostedFebruary 21, 2023 https://bit.ly/3Ikro72 In Round Rock, TX, our client was looking for help to solve a problem. They had old, 30-yard-long ovens that weren't supported by the manufacturer and caused massive downtime. They weren't looking to replace them, so our solution was automation. We worked with our office in Lubbock, TX to make this project possible, and now, the client is excited to have the local support. Not only do they now have operational ovens, but also increased uptime. Maintenance is now able to troubleshoot better, and they're excited to further use the automation. See what all went into the project. Posted byInterstates, Inc Read More
