MoldTrax Shop Tips

Maintenance Stations Ease Critical Data Entry



To ensure that critical maintenance and repair data is collected accurately and in a timely fashion, it is necessary to pay attention to the physical side of data collection and usage.  Shop PC's that require a technician to sit at a desk in order to input or extract data will result in data not being used as it should. This will result in missed opportunities to discover a root cause or input useful data. Like using any tool, ergonomics come in to play when using a PC in a shop. Read about it here.
