The Foundry Industry is marked by extreme working conditions with high temperatures, strict time constraints, and significant wear on doors and infrastructure. Frequent repairs and safety risks in mobile work areas are common. At the Linde Material Handling plant in Weilbach, Door Control was implemented to prevent door damage, reduce maintenance costs, and minimize downtime. The Cone Unit also provides better safety for mobile construction sites and aerial work platforms, ensuring better protection for employees while they work.
