WIKA Instruments India Pvt Ltd recently launched its mobile calibration van for maintenance and repair at the doorstep of clients, in Bangalore.
An initiative, born out of need to maintain equipments during COVID lockdown has been transformed into a value-added service by WIKA India to provide services at the customer doorstep, delivering convenience for service, a release by WIKA said.
The mobile vans will be located in strategic points ensuring that they cover every important location in Bangalore city. This mobile van is suitable for large, multi-site companies who have lots of measuring equipment that needs to be continuously available 24 hours a day. The company has plans to launch such mobile calibration vans in northern and western India
According to Gaurav Bawa, Managing Director & Sr Vice President, WIKA India, “COVID lockdown has taught us a lot. If you have a will, you have a way and that is exactly how these vans were born. Maintaining calibrations of equipment in industrial units is essential for effective production. These vans are equipped with master switch that helps in calibration services without any displacement or damage to equipment.”
Round the clock
These mobile laboratories can travel to facilities to calibrate equipment that needs to be available round the clock, thus optimising costs and shipping time. At the end of the calibration, a report is provided which shows a measurement error. It measures the value before and after calibration which helps the clients to determine the functionality of the device.
“These calibration vans have been able to rule out any delay in transportation and helped us to initiate one of the best practices for WIKA India. Precision engineering market is expected to grow given the technology disruptions, and call for services will also increase with it. We hope to gear up for the challenges through such innovative measures,” Bawa added.
With the doorstep delivery of services through the mobile calibration van, customer can now book their appointments through various channels like toll free number, emails and WebApp, from the comfort of their office and home.
