Client: A Leading German Automotive Manufacturer

Challenge: The client experienced inconsistent coating thickness on brake components, leading to increased corrosion failures and warranty claim rates. Traditional measuring equipment struggled with complex geometries and could not provide statistical process control data.

Solution: We deployed 20 LY-985 SmartSeries gauges across their production lines. The rotating probe technology enabled precise measurements on curved surfaces and inside narrow grooves. Real-time data synchronization with the client’s quality management system facilitated immediate process adjustments.

Results:
• 65% reduction in coating thickness variation
• 43% decrease in corrosion-related warranty claims within six months
• Full traceability achieved through cloud-based data logging
