workstations from Data Strategy at the end of February 2020 just as the industry began to wind down into a global Covid-19 lockdown, could have been a mistimed event. \u00a0However, the versatility of the product and its ease of use enabled Limelite\u2019s directors to turn the situation to take full advantage of their investment in product safety, warehouse organisation, and logistics.<\/p>\n
The ability to commission QC-check workstations remotely \u2013 which has enabled customers as distant as Australia and the UAE to benefit from the safety testing system \u2013 ensured that Limelite Lighting\u2019s QC-Check workstations, including the robust and rapid testing power of Out Board\u2019s PAT-4 Test Processors and CAB-5 Cable Test modules, were up and running within 12 hours of delivery.
Limelite director, Ed Railton, explains how they were determined to make lemonade from the citrusy timing of events. \u201cAt that point, we decided to start a comprehensive testing programme – testing every single item of electrical equipment onto the new system. By the time the industry wakes again, we will have tested in excess of 25,000 items.\u201d
\u00a0
Using the current global lockdown periods to its advantage, Limelight\u2019s warehouse team has been testing non-stop, whilst of course abiding by social distancing guidelines, to ensure every unit of electrical stock is tested and ready to go at a moment\u2019s notice. Railton confirms, \u201cIt\u2019s proven invaluable now television production has started rolling cameras again.\u201d
The QC-Check workstations were integrated seamlessly into Limelite\u2019s rental management system, the cloud-based Current RMS. This installation represents the first time QC-Check has linked with Current RMS and following the simple commissioning process, Data Strategy\u2019s MD, Iain Roche, says, \u201cCurrent RMS is just the most recent rental management system we\u2019ve successfully integrated QC-Check with. \u00a0QC-Check is designed to integrate seamlessly with rental management systems, bringing powerful, extra safety capabilities and warehouse management to all rental management software.\u201d
Railton confirmed, \u201cWe\u2019re very pleased already with our two QC-Check workstations. We made the purchase based on recommendations and following lengthy talks with Iain [Roche]. Until ours arrived, we\u2019d never actually seen one in action! We\u2019d definitely recommend it to any other rental production company. The initial setup was simply processed by Iain remotely and we\u2019ve been able to establish our warehouse testing parameters within it very easily. It\u2019s made this period of downtime very productive!\u201d<\/p>\n
