Corus sings the praises of Videoswitch

Thu, 20 Apr 2006 08:00:00 GMT

When twenty-ton coils of cold metal steel are being processed, despite stringent quality control procedures, there is always the possibility of a fault occurring that could result in costly delays.
The Corus Colors production lines convert the coils, which are each two kilometres long, into pre-finished steels for applications as diverse as roof and wall claddings to consumer products. To understand the reason for any fault and to ensure it does not reoccur, Corus Colors at Shotton, North Wales, have invested in digital video recorders from Videoswitch.
