Welcome to the Total Testing Center™…Integrated quality control throughout the mill with USTER® TESTER 6
• Returning to the original question about what has changed :it’s clear that the more accurate answer would be ‘everything’.
• If the USTER® TESTER 6 wasonly a laboratory instrument, it would take a whole team of specialists – and a lot more time – to analyze the mass of data produced
• The Total Testing Center has the power to analyze all that data fast and the intelligence to make practical use of it.
