Premier does it again!

Premier’s goal is to provide India’s critical industries with innovative bearing solutions. In that direction, the technical team recently conducted a seminar at one of the largest private steel plants in Eastern India. The seminar covered the basics of bearings and other information that will help the client maximise equipment service life. It was attended by the seniors of the steel plant’s respective departments. The seminar was a big success, with every attendee learning in the process.

As an industrial solutions provider, Premier’s objective is to deliver better than yesterday. In keeping with that, an expert team from Schaeffler hosted an upskilling program for our technical team at our Kolkata office.

The IoT Delivery workshop covered topics like:

• Features and application of OPTIME hardware and mesh network
