Maintenance of industrial plants covers all preventive, corrective and predictive activities put in place to ensure their correct operation.
A correct maintenance is essential, as this is the only way to maximise plants efficiency and extend its lifecycle, maintaining constant productivity and reducing the risk of downtime.
At LCS Group, we provide a preventive maintenance service: we schedule the most suitable interventions for specific industrial processes. Each of our interventions is tailor-made and aims to extend the lifecycle of the equipment, guaranteeing reduced ROI times and considerable savings compared to a new installation.
In this article we detail the importance of having an efficient service to rely on and how we support customers during preventive maintenance.
Why is preventive maintenance important?
The maintenance of industrial plants ensures operational efficiency: it allows the plant’s performance to be maintained, thus avoiding sudden stoppages due to breakdowns and malfunctions.
Preventive maintenance of machine tools is therefore essential for several reasons:
- Operational continuity: regular maintenance helps prevent sudden breakdowns or plant malfunctions, reducing downtime and ensuring that production and industrial activities can continue without unwanted interruptions.
- Increased reliability: proper preventive maintenance improves the stability and reliability of equipment, enabling consistent production and reducing rejects and/or defective products.
- Safety: poorly maintained industrial plant may pose a safety risk to workers. Regular maintenance identifies and resolves any safety problems before they escalate.
- Life extension: a preventive maintenance plan helps extend the life of industrial plants, thus reducing the need for costly investments in new equipment
- Performance improvement: proper maintenance helps to improve plant performance, optimizing production, product quality or industrial output.
- Reduced repair costs: preventive maintenance, which identifies and corrects problems at an early stage, is often less expensive than emergency repairs due to sudden failures.
The maintenance of industrial plants also allows you to stay in compliance with the regulations of your sector. In addition, it is a sign of corporate professionalism and seriousness that increases trust in the company on the part of customers, suppliers and stakeholders.
The importance of service for preventive plant maintenance
The maintenance of industrial plants requires specific skills and technology, which is why it is important to rely on a specialized company, such as LCS Group.
In fact, only experienced technicians are able to fully understand the functioning of the machinery, identify potential problems at an early stage and apply the appropriate preventive measures. Using state-of-the-art technology and diagnostic tools, the condition of the equipment is monitored, anomalies are detected and components subject to wear or potential failure are identified.
Relying on a specialized company, such as LCS Group, also means benefiting from customized preventive maintenance programmes that meet the specific needs of each customer.
LCS: your best partner for preventive plant maintenance
LCS Group provides its customers with a customized service for the preventive maintenance of industrial plants, providing support for electromechanics and the software that governs the system. In 2018, in fact, we set up a business unit entirely dedicated to this service and revamping, to ensure our customers receive the utmost attention in maintenance management.
We carry out maintenance starting with the study of plant data and performance, which allows us to identify and plan the most suitable interventions for the situation. Our specialized technicians are organized according to levels of competence, such as the corresponding levels of automation, and identify the best solution for the maintenance of the individual plant.
Each intervention at the plant is carried out within the agreed time frame (4 to 24 hours) in the customized contract with the company.
LCS Group also takes care of the management of spare parts in the warehouse with tailor-made component supply plans and specific analysis of components at risk, which are essential to overcome the non-availability of spare parts and to find alternative supplies for obsolete parts. We also assess the need for revamping interventions, aimed at electromechanical and software modernisation.
Relying on us for plant maintenance therefore guarantees:
- Qualified assistance during plant start-up
- On-site maintenance interventions according to agreed timescales
- Quick response to emergencies
- Upgrades and Optimization of hardware and software parts
- Warranty, reliability and safety
- Support for customer company personnel, even remotely with 24/7 availability
- Post-intervention reporting through analysis of collected data
Our goal is to maintain a high level of industrial performance: we take care of all phases of a plant’s life and take care of every implementation, even those installed by third parties.
