COVAL launches its mobile application with TraceParts
COVAL takes the lead in the race for 3D content in the field of vacuum-handling systems thanks to a new mobile application developed with TraceParts
Saint-Romain, France, 1 April 2015 - COVAL is a French company that has been designing and manufacturing components for vacuum handling for nearly thirty years. The use of this handling technique is widespread in the car, food, aerospace and even packaging industries. It involves picking up an object, a sheet of metal or paper, a finished product or even a food product using one or more suction pads to move it from one work-station to another, or to place it in its packaging.
As early as 2007, COVAL asked TraceParts to create 3D models of all the components in its product catalogue and make them available online. Originally, COVAL supplied its CAD models directly to its customers; however, due to the increasing number of requests, the technical department could not keep up with demand, and therefore decided to use TraceParts' publishing solution.
COVAL entrusted TraceParts with its CAD models to develop a library of components, available in different CAD standards and formats via the "http://www.coval.fr/ website and via the "http://www.tracepartsonline.net/" portal.
"Our primary goal in choosing TraceParts was to make our 3D models available for integrators and machine manufacturers, and to reach new customers around the world in several languages. It was crucial for us to be present on the TracePartsOnline.net platform in order to develop our international business and to reinforce our customer services," explains Stéphane Garcia, the Marketing Manager at COVAL.
COVAL did not stop there; as a genuine pioneer in its field of activity, the company recently reinforced its sales strategy with a new application developed by TraceParts, the COVAL e-catalogue, available via the App Store and Google Play. Initially won over by the innovative, user-friendly technology of this mobile application, COVAL rapidly understood the potential of the tool's marketing and sales dimension. "The application is more intuitive than a website. It allows our salespeople to present our complete range of products and recent product upgrades to our customers using their smartphones or tablets. They can also send customers 3D files instantaneously, and have all product technical characteristics and references readily at hand," says Stéphane Garcia.
As an innovation-oriented company, COVAL is therefore pursuing its strategy of making its 3D content readily available to the broadest possible audience. Its new application is widely appreciated by end users and will enable the company to develop its communication in France and abroad, through its subsidiaries in the United States, China, Spain, Italy and Germany.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
