Wireless Enables Customer Efficiency

“I can recommend connectBlue on their thorough know-how inwireless technologies & execution of wireless product projects."

Jonas Lundgren, Project Manager, Atlas Copco

 

Atlas Copco develops, manufactures and markets complete industrial power tools for the motor vehicle industry. “Our industrial tools have the best ergonomics and the lowest noise and vibration levels of all comparable tools on the market today,” explains Carl-Fredrik Haukas, ProductManager at Atlas Copco.

“By applying a wireless concept, we have been able to offer our customers a more productive solution since we could increase the operator flexibility and efficiency.” continues Haukas. “And thanks to connectBlue, new applications have been made possible for us,” says Marcelo Mantovani, Product Manager at Atlas Copco.

Footprint, Interface And Functionality

The relationship between the two companies was initiated already in 2005 when Atlas Copco went wireless. The main reasons why Atlas Copco chose connectBlue was that the “footprint, interface and functionality fitted our needs,” explains Jonas Lundgren, Project Manager Tensor STB at Atlas Copco.

The connectBlue solutions can be found in connectivity solutions where the operator wants to tighten a safety critical joint inside the car – in other words, in “quality and productivity critical applications,” says Lundgren. “Here, we use the connectBlue products to send the result of the tightening from the tool to the controller,” says Haukas.

If Lundgren would recommend connectBlue to another company, he would say that “they have a thorough know-how in wireless technologies and execution of wireless product projects.” Mantovani sums up the three top advantages with connectBlue as a supplier in “good product, good support and innovative solutions.”
