When it comes to maintenance operations, many manufacturers are often swimming against the tide in their quest to lower costs and cut the time taken to perform essential tasks. We caught up with Jonathan Beaumel from JPB Système, which recently announced a technology solution designed to improve efficiencies for manufacturers.
Why is it often difficult for manufacturers to achieve efficiency goals when it comes to maintenance operations?
It depends on the individual company and type of maintenance checks required. However, the fact that so many maintenance operations are still planned and performed manually, often by experienced operators performing sometimes basic yet time-consuming tasks, will always be counter-productive to improving efficiencies.
One laborious yet highly important task is the need for maintenance engineers to manually check the torque level of every single bolt that might be in place within a particular piece of machinery, engine, or countless other structures or vehicles.
