Maintenance and Upgrades

Production systems are the heart of any manufacturing business. In order to optimise profitability, it is necessary to keep energy and maintenance costs to a minimum, as well as preventing outages and controlling downtime. This is best achieved by deploying experts who have a comprehensive vision of the systems and who can call on the know-how needed for every problem and area of technology. The result is a single unified improvement and maintenance strategy. One plant, one concept, one BT-Anlagenbau.

Automation, switchgear systems, electro-pneumatic and hydraulic actuators for functions such as fully automated lubrication, PLC-controlled signal processing, bus-based communication – almost all machines and production lines are built using these elements. This places special demands on maintenance. Only with regular analysis, optimisation and maintenance is it possible to achieve process flows that minimize unplanned down time or eliminate unplanned stoppages altogether.

Preventive maintenance is the beginning of a continuous improvement process: parts that are at risk of wearing out can be monitored for temperature rises or other signs of imminent failure. Breakdowns can be reduced and spare parts can be ordered in time.

The optimal time point for sending a maintenance warning can be calculated based on factors such as maintenance results, counting of switching events, wear and tear, ambient conditions and load, so that the availability of the plant is maximised and its depreciation is kept as slow as possible. We offer a complete range of services in this area.
