Digitalization & process optimization in manual production
As a digital assistant for Industry 4.0, Smart Klaus® combines efficiency, quality and transparency along the entire value chain. With intuitive operation, flexible integration into existing processes and optional gamification elements, it sustainably optimizes production processes and significantly reduces error rates.
Modular design for maximum flexibility and individual expandability
Smart Klaus® has a modular structure. Depending on the configuration of hardware and software, it can be used along the entire value chain.
Incoming goods - Efficient article inspection
Smart Klaus® automatically identifies components in incoming goods based on their visual characteristics - even without a barcode, QR code or label. Faulty deliveries or missing parts are detected in real time, deviations are reported immediately and all inspection results are documented. This enables companies to start their production efficiently and without errors.
