Make sure your machines are working well!
We always focus on the manufacturing of long lasting product, but we also know, that by time everything deteriorates. To keep the production lines performing well, we also supply the tools and maintenance parts for you, to keep these components in a condition, that it was designed to work in. To make this possible, we always stand by preventive maintenance, and support our customers with getting this thinking into the design of every newly built machine, so that it has a long and healthy life.
EN 13306 Standard - Preventive Maintenance: "Maintenance carried out at fixed time period or according to specified criteria in order to reduce the probability of brakdowns occurrence or reduce the extent of degradation of the individual components functionality."
As for the child in the family responsible are parents, they take in everyday life basic care of them relay on looking after their health. Only once the home care methods are not effective in ensuring the health of child, they seek for help from doctors. Therefore, the production workers are responsible for monitoring the technical condition and maintenance of optimal conditions of machines, and all exploitation and correction intervention requiring specialized knowledge maintenance services technicians are responsible for.
We see, that there are three main factors necessary for making this concept work in manufacturing:
1. Efficient maintenance
2. Education
3. Support
The aim of the program:
- Simplification of preventive diagnostics performance
- Shorten the time of fault, breakdown identification
- Shorten the downtimes caused by faults, brakdowns
- Time save to replace defective, damaged components
Benefits:
- Efficiency increase in diagnostics maintenance
- Reduction in unplanned stoppages, machines or devices stops
The importance of proper education for maintenance:
- Reduction in unplanned stops relating to the failure of pneumatic components increasing machine availability
- Operators given more confidence about the function of pneumatic components and the detection of abnormalities
- What we offer: Train the trainer program, eLEARNING200, Training tools
Support from SMC:
- Personal consultation
- Model selection software
- Documentation
