The unfolding COVID-19 pandemic is impacting every aspect of society and business. To protect health and livelihoods, much activity has been paused, but shutting shop isn’t an option for many manufacturers – food and pharma packaging converters, for instance. For these key industries, keeping machines running without in-person maintenance operations is crucial, and the answer is to get connected with remote assistance.
Remote assistance services allow machine problems to be diagnosed and solved remotely, online. It means you can tackle fault-based downtime faster, while still allowing as many staff as possible to self-isolate.
Helpline is BOBST’s remote assistance service. If you use a BOBST machine and encounter a fault or require expert assistance, Helpline lets you instantly contact and connect with our technical support staff.
