The right solution for everyone

Andreas, Head of Work Planning

The perfect solution for digitalising our production line.

We were looking for a functional and flexible solution for digitalising a small production line. Many solutions were too complex for this purpose and required a high investment. We found the perfect solution in the HCT Windows app. I can now easily create and customise workflows myself. The settings are reliably transferred onto the tool and can be used by the operator.

Marco, Assembler

Thanks to HCT, I work more efficiently and with fewer errors than before.

All the settings are pre-programmed into the tool and the software guides me through the assembly steps. This means I don't forget any of the steps and I finish faster. In addition to this, I no longer have to manually document the measurement values and therefore have more time for my measurement tasks.

Verena, Quality Assurance

The automated documentation system records our measured data reliably and in a traceable way.

Manual data transfers often resulted in errors and meant expensive reworking. Now, the measurement data is recorded directly from the tool in a complete, secure and verifiable way. Data tampering is prevented, which enables us to supply our customers with traceable, high-quality products.

Modern features to optimise your production process

Worker guidance – visually supported with images for each screwdriving case
Password protection to prevent unauthorised access
CAQ connection (MUX50, DMX16 protocols)
.csv or .dfq files stored in a local folder
The workpiece’s serial number is linked directly and automatically to the associated measurement value Up to 16
HCT tools can be connected to a PC/laptop at the same time for each dongle
Processes can be planned via the app (thanks to the bidirectional interface, screwdriving cases do not need to be created on the tool)
