For BRUGOLA, a renowned Italian manufacturer of fasteners for the automotive industry, absolute process reliability is essential. In the SAFED mesh belt and AICHELIN cast link belt furnaces used on site, a conveyor system continuously transports large volumes of components through the heat treatment process.
However, a critical question arose in daily operations:
What happens if individual parts remain in the conveyor channel unnoticed – and are unintentionally mixed with the next batch?This risk jeopardizes not only product quality, but also traceability and overall process efficiency.
Together with AICHELIN, BRUGOLA implemented a forward-looking solution: the CODIAC – Conveyor Diagnostic Camera System.
Since implementing CODIAC, BRUGOLA’s production and quality teams have benefited from:
At Brugola OEB, we are committed to continually pushing the boundaries of excellence. Since 1926, our commitment to quality has been at the heart of everything we do. We engineer performance every day and believe in the value of partnerships with suppliers who can help us reach new goals and find new solutions. Thanks to CODIAC, we can now monitor what is happening inside the oven conveyor at any time or view recordings of what has happened.Enrico Cazzamani, Brugola OEB Engineering Director
By integrating the CODIAC system, BRUGOLA has taken a significant step toward digital transparency and modern monitoring in heat treatment. Together with AICHELIN, a potential risk has been eliminated from daily operations – resulting in clear benefits for quality and process reliability.
