The Hoffmann Group Connected Tools Platform (HCT)

Andreas, Head of Work Planning

"I want to make the measurement processes in a production line more efficient and record measured data reliably. I don't need a full system costing thousands of euros for that. I'm looking for simple software which features worker guidance and the option to automatically transfer all device settings and measuring results to the computer, or for a direct transfer to a CAQ system (using standard protocols and data formats)."

Solution: HCT Windows app

Stefan, Foreman

"I want to keep track of things and organise multiple tool groups quickly and easily from my smartphone. I also want to set up different tools on my smartphone and get all the measurement data on my smartphone, simply and clearly."

Solution: HCT Mobile app

Heinz, Master Measurement Technician

"I want to take a measurement and I have to record it digitally. But I'm not familiar with all this new-fangled stuff. I want to get started right away and take the measurement quickly and easily, the same as usual."

Solution: Bluetooth®-enabled tools

Verena, Quality Assurance

"Since cables interfere with the acquisition of measured data, we want to switch over to wireless solutions in the Quality Control department. However, the production process must not change as we use CAQ software – it took a long time to set it up and train all employees. Therefore, smooth and gradual integration using standard file formats and interfaces is essential."
