Industrial Maintenance

Why is it so important?

Hello dear reader! Welcome to the SermiBlog, the place where you can find news for your organization and the continuous improvement of its processes. In this edition we want to tell about the importance of industrial maintenance.

Industrial maintenance is a key piece to the success of any company. This is because it encompasses all those activities that are aimed at ensuring that both machinery such as computers, operating at one hundred percent capacity. As well as the spaces of the work are in good condition. To achieve this we will require repair actions and continuous review.

Include the industrial maintenance between the priorities of a company that will bring multiple benefits. For example:

  • Reduction of work-related accidents.
  • Reduction of losses due to stoppages in production.
  • Chance to avoid irreparable damage.
  • Increases the useful life of machinery and equipment.
  • Reduction of costs

There are, also, different types of industrial maintenance that are tailored to the needs and interests of each company:

Predictive

As its name announces, this type of maintenance seeks to forecast failures and accidents. All is the most technical and advanced, with the addition that requires personnel and specialized equipment. These tools detect variables that, in addition, give an overview of the state of the equipment and, if that is the case, guess a future failure.

Preventive

This type of maintenance, like the previous one, has as its mission to anticipate the inconvenience. It does so through reviews constants of equipment and machines, as well as the detection of bad practices on the part of the staff. The difference with the previous maintenance is that the predictive uses variables such as vibration, pressure and temperature of the equipment to anticipate failures.

Corrective

Corrective maintenance is carried out when there is a failure in equipment, machinery or facilities. Its sole purpose is to correct actions, once you have detected the problem.

The frequency and type of maintenance industrial depend on the company, since each one has needs and rhythms of unique production. However, it is recommended to have a long-term vision and take into account if there are seasons with greater activity in order to be certain that his tools are in optimal conditions.
