Industrial Maintenance Services
When industrial manufacturing companies have more monetary resources, it’s recommended they focus on optimizing their industrial maintenance services. If unplanned downtime occurs an average of one day per month, it could cost up to $3.2 million in lost margins over the life of the plant.1
There are three maintenance strategies that will ultimately help your facility reduce the risk of a disaster, emergency tank cleaning or major clean up.
Preventive Maintenance
With these types of industrial maintenance services, the lifespan of the facility and its equipment is taken into consideration. Given the type of the equipment and its reliability, one can assume when necessary maintenance processes should be scheduled. When machines begin demonstrating signs of lower efficiency or productivity, then it’s wise to schedule maintenance. Fixing or updating a machine will cost less than the loss of production you’d experience when it is broken or unfixable.
Predictive Maintenance
For certain equipment, this type of maintenance is dependent upon the actual machine operators. They constantly use the equipment, so they are better able to monitor its condition and report any issues. Without this crucial information, you will be unable to accurately predict when it needs maintenance. At this stage, investing in maintenance resources will help prevent unexpected production downtime.
Proactive Maintenance
This strategy is most suitable in preventing production downtime that results from large-scape equipment faults. With this method, you will identify the root cause of any maintenance issues first and fix them before they cause larger problems. Executing this strategy requires a good information management process that will alert you of potential problems or areas of concern.
Industrial manufacturing companies utilize these strategies to optimize plant maintenance and operations. Well-optimized plant operations help maintain high quality standards and can also safety compliance more effectively. With the proper solutions, you can reduce operational and maintenance costs and increase the flexibility and efficiency of your manufacturing process.
