Pressure gauges on hydraulic presses in stamping/forging lines are frequently broken during die changes despite using socket protectors and shorter piping, leading to recurring replacement costs.

Workarounds Described

• uses socket protectors to prevent gauge breakage during die changes
• adds shorter piping to reduce leverage on gauge connection
• buys replacement gauges from Alibaba to save on distributor markup

Implied Software Gaps

• Remote monitoring software that logs pressure data and alerts on compliance specs would replace manual data logging need
