This time and cost-saving service operates on the following principle :an authorized person logs on to the KRONS net-work via a modem (analogue or ISDN) from the PC integrated into the inspector. A service engineer at KRONS can now take over the control of the machine via a workstation especially installed for this purpose. New inspection parameters can be entered or optimised , if necessary. In case of malfunctions a fast and qualified diagnositc assessment is possible and programme undated can be directly transmitted. With our 12 hours teleservice and hotline , expensive on-site service can hotline, expensive on-site service can often be avoided and downtimes can be reduced considerably.
