Benefits
● Low investment costs thanks to fewer screwdriver stations.
● Reduction of maintenance costs and downtimes through reliable wireless and therefore
wear-free data transmission to mobile communications partners.
● Shorter downtimes if a fault occurs thanks to the C-PLUG (configuration plug) in the
SCALANCE devices. Devices can be replaced without a programming device and without
specialist personnel.
● Higher productivity and process reliability because all data of the plant controller, such as
workpiece IDs, screwdriver data and assembly information, is also available directly on
the screwdriver stations. Other applications for quality assurance are also easy to
integrate.
● The SCALANCE wireless devices W788-1 or W748-1 that are used have a robust metal
housing with IP65 degree of protection and are designed especially for industrial use.
