Maintenance, whether it be preventative, predictive, or reactive, is an integral component of operating manufacturing equipment. Cyntek’s team of electro-mechanical technicians are well-versed in a wide array of technologies and work closely with Cyntek’s project management team to develop maintenance programs tailored specifically to our clients’ goals. Whether you’re achieving less-than-optimal machine uptime with your current program, or have yet to implement a maintenance program, Cyntek is able to provide the structure and expertise necessary to increase uptime and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
With all maintenance programs, Cyntek offers critical spare parts management which involves the identification, monitoring, storage, and installation of high-wear parts.
A preventative maintenance program is a planned and organized approach to maintaining industrial machinery and equipment. The goal of a preventative maintenance program is to identify and correct potential problems before they cause equipment failure or downtime. This is typically achieved through regular inspections and servicing of the equipment, as well as the implementation of procedures for identifying and addressing potential issues.
By proactively maintaining equipment, a preventative maintenance program can help to extend the life of the equipment, reduce the need for repairs, and improve overall equipment performance
A predictive maintenance program involves the installation of condition-monitoring equipment for the purpose of collecting real-time performance data from production assets. The data collected by the monitoring equipment is analyzed to detect anomalies that may represent current, or impending defects. Rather than using a routine-based maintenance program, predictive maintenance addresses actual issues at an early-stage before they materially impact production.
Predictive maintenance utilizes the latest advancements in connectivity and data collection. Despite the capitally intensive nature of implementing a predictive maintenance program, its use is estimated to save the Manufacturing industry billions of dollars annually in unnecessary maintenance, and by limiting production downtime. Contact Cyntek today to learn more about how implementing a predictive maintenance program can provide cost savings for your organization.
Reactive maintenance is the most basic form of maintenance which occurs in response to an equipment failure. Cyntek’s team of electro-mechanical technicians have years of experience diagnosing equipment issues and devising the appropriate response. While reactive maintenance cannot be eliminated completely, it can become a minor aspect of an integrated approach to reliability.
