Case Studies
1. United States – CNC Precision Retrofit, Texas
A machine shop upgraded lathes and mills with GAO Tek displays, resulting in faster setup times and a 35% reduction in machining errors through improved positioning feedback.
2. United States – Bridge Structural Monitoring, Washington State
GAO Tek IPS displays, mounted on bridge inspection units, allowed technicians to read joint displacement in real time, reducing dependency on manual survey data by 40%.
3. Canada – Geotechnical Lab Testing, Alberta
A Canadian testing facility adopted digitally integrated readouts with LVDT sensors. Touchscreen controls made the system easier for students and researchers to use, improving data accuracy and reporting workflows.
