How we help our customers

Supporting a Finnish Paper industry customer

The customer asked Konecranes service for support on how they could keep their production going without interruptions during the COVID situation.

We proposed a plan that included detailed instruction on how daily work should be carried out and what safety precautions would take place. The service technicians that were already working at the facility were permitted to continue the work and a 24/7 stand-by team was put in place. The stand-by team goes through the risk assessment on a daily basis.

The factory manager accepted the proposal and was very pleased with Konecranes prompt and professional response in this difficult situation.

Things to consider for the future

Automation

Automated overhead cranes can reduce labor costs, track inventory, optimize storage, reduce damage, increase productivity and reduce the capital expense associated with forklift systems.

Smart Features

Smart Features are Konecranes-designed add-ons that work together or individually to improve safety and cycle time. These features assist the operator in controlling the crane by performing certain repetitive actions or compensating for misalignment and erratic movements.

Retrofits

Retrofits are a relatively easy and economical way to add current productivity-enhancing features and technologies to a crane.

Modernizations

When production ramps up or changes, a crane may need a modernization to maintain productivity.
