TESTIMONIALS
Exciting developments together since the establishment of Kalycito!
I can proudly say that we are an early customer and we could make some exciting developments together since the establishment of Kalycito. We are really happy with what has been achieved together so far and I am looking forward to the next years of cooperation!
- Stefan Schoenegger, VP Product Strategy
Market Introduction of our new grader was on schedule and without problems!
Moba is the market leader in egg grading equipment. Implementing a new Ethernet based industrial network in our egg grading equipment was a serious project, and we needed to reduce the risks and shorten the learning curve for our organization as much as possible. With the help and support from Kalycito we accomplished this. Our market introduction of our new grader (PX-700) was on schedule and without problems.
- Paul van Gerwen, R&D Director
Our partner in Deterministic Ethernet!
Rather than a vendor, we see Kalycito as a partner in our Deterministic Ethernet efforts over the last couple of years. We were initially skeptical of how well a team located in India can learn our tools and technology from a remote location. We have been pleasantly surprised with the results demonstrated by Kalycito in different projects over the years.
- Tom Weingartner, VP Marketing
We are happy with their self driven approach and problem-solving capabilities.
In 2012-2013, we had engaged with Kalycito to support us in integrating Ethernet Powerlink on one of our industrial printing platforms. They have good expertise in Powerlink and Embedded Systems and were able to quickly reproduce our environment at their end and actively help us troubleshoot the issues we faced. We are happy with their self driven approach and problem-solving capabilities. The quality of their project communication and deliverables made it easier for us to work with them..
Holistic and real-time view of our manufacturing data
...for more than 3 years for monitoring our assembly lines across five units in India. The solution has given us a holistic and real-time view on our manufacturing data including quality. The system is user-friendly and we are able to perform analytics on the data to optimize our capacity utilization, increase our production efficiency and quality. Also, it is noteworthy mentioning that no Kalycito personnel has visited some of our plants though the system has been installed and is in use for quite some time in these locations.
