The ability to schedule maintenance is the greatest benefit of time-based maintenance compared to unplanned and reactive maintenance. Reactive maintenance is often associated with high overheads that can be avoided by scheduling maintenance. The costs of unplanned maintenance consist, among other things, of lost production time, the consequences of the failure of equipment for the core business, higher spare parts costs and time losses due to inefficient communication and processing.
We therefore recommend our customers to preventive maintenance, also with a maintenance contract:
Maintenance is performed at predetermined intervals or on the basis of prescribed criteria and aims to reduce the likelihood of a failure or deterioration. Preventive maintenance includes regular inspections, regular maintenance (such as lubrication of mechanical parts), recurring inspections, and predefined component replacement.
Preventive maintenance serves to improve operational safety. Machines and systems which are not regularly serviced represent a higher risk of accidents!
The recurrent examination of work equipment is required by law!
