Predictive Maintenance on Automated Machines
Maintenance and servicing are a vital part of the successful running of any car, van or truck, and it is no less important for automation machinery. We at OB Design and Engineering understand the need for a company’s machinery and production lines to work efficiently and to bring maximum output for the company on a continuous basis.
Simply, the most important factor in achieving this is servicing and maintenance. That’s why we offer a predictive maintenance service that helps solve potential problems before they even happen, and in return, will result in less downtime for your machine.
Firstly, we will inspect your machines
and collect and analyse data on them and their parts concerning:
- The average life span of the machine
- Hours worked.
- The type of work the machine undertakes.
- Make of the machine.
- Availability of parts.
Secondly, our service engineer will provide a full written report
on the condition of the machine and a list of the parts that are nearing the end of their life.
This is ideal for all machines, but particularly those nearing the end of warranty.
Advantages of Predictive Maintenance include the following:
- Improved lifespan of the machine.
- Reduced unscheduled downtime due to equipment failures.
- Improves Health & Safety compliance.
- Ensures the Quality of the Product.
- Reduces Waste.
- Optimised spare part handling. minimises time waiting for parts that may need to be replaced, as these would have been pre-ordered.
Predictive maintenance undertaken in Ireland has been shown to lead to a 25%-30% reduction in maintenance costs, a 70%-75% decrease in breakdowns and a 35%-45% reduction in downtime.
