Reproducibility as a guarantee of quality

To manufacture our filigree metal parts which, together with the quartz and crystal, form the heart of our sensors, Kistler runs a workshop with around 30 employees at their headquarters in Winterthur. The high-quality requirements place great demands on precision and on the materials that are to be processed. To manufacture the extremely small metal parts, we take a cautious approach to the physical limits at all times. To be able to meet the requirements in the long term and guarantee the reproducibility, all relevant information must be saved. For this reason, the company sought a tool management software that would also allow all required items to be managed at the same time.
