Remote diagnostic with Fume Hood Master
Waldner has developed the FUME HOOD MASTER as a digital solution to global pandemic situations. The Fume Hood Master (FHM) can quickly and reliably perform remote diagnosis on Waldner fume hoods under the guidance of a Waldner expert. This is essential when global markets are under tremendous travel restriction pressures.
Waldner - Your expert for Remote diagnostic
In the event of a fume hood malfunction, the initial diagnosis can be carried out with Fume Hood Master in shortest possible time. Guided by an external Waldner expert, the operator requires minimal technical knowledge to connect and use the Fume Hood Master. If replacement parts are needed, they can be identified by the initial diagnosis and delivered in advance of the repair work.
This leads to faster reactions in case of malfunctions, reduction of unplanned downtimes and a high "first time fix rate" to reduce customer costs.
