You photograph the rating plate at the customer’s and have the manufacturer, type and serial number properly recorded before you are back in the van. The spare part is found faster, and there are fewer wrong orders and second visits.

Is this for you?

  • You repair or service appliances from different manufacturers, such as heating systems, pumps, household appliances or drives.
  • Rating plates are often hard to reach, dirty or difficult to read, and part numbers are currently typed in by hand.
First step today

Photograph a rating plate from your workshop or from your last job (without customer names in the picture) and have it read with the template below. Compare the table with the plate character by character.
