When we offer our customers a new product, whether it is a new entry in the catalogue or an ad hoc creation for one customer, what lies inside it is a world of technology and research with decades of history in its wake and the working together of a trained and specialised team.

Knowledge and measurability are at the heart of total quality – an objective we aim for in our work every day – and the very possibility of making improvements: this is why process monitoring is absolutely essential.

We have often talked about how Carcano keeps precise tracks on every process and every check performed on every batch of products. So, if tracking is an essential requirement of our products, it is equally important to underline that such checking starts with the actual casting of the steel.

The core of Carcano production is obviously centred around hot forging: in order to perform these operations, we have installed modern automated systems that ensure we enjoy high precision and high quality as well as consistent results over time.

Carcano products enjoy a privileged position among several industries and none more so than its railway accessories: a wide selection ranging from single items to assembled finished components, with all the necessary marks plus unparalleled reliability.

Once they have left the factory and been put to use, accessories that go to make up lifting systems must undergo a series of checks by the user to verify that they are still in good condition and to assess their level of wear so as to ensure that they can be used in absolute safety

The Carcano Research & Development department is always busy: in order to develop new products, whether for inclusion in the catalogue or tailor-made for a customer, it is also essential to create the dies and tools required for the processing work. Operations that Carcano manages directly in-house.

Every day Carcano ensures its maximum commitment towards providing the market with quality, high-performance products, but that is not enough: their correct use is of fundamental importance. That is why we have decided to make it even easier to access the instructions for use of CARTEC lifting systems, through a QR Code.

Tracking, certificates, technical documentation: every component in a lifting system requires a large number of documents to be produced. The digitisation process and cloud storage bring significant benefits in both organisational and environmental terms.

CARTEC lifting solutions are equipped with a complete tracking system, from raw material casting to machining and certified controls.
