One of the most significant capital investments in order fulfillment and manufacturing facilities is material handling equipment (MHE). To maximize ROI and extend the longevity of these systems, facility operators must always be mindful of the working condition of their equipment. Too often they are not aware, and minor issues that could easily have been fixed are ignored until they become real problems. Of course, the true costs of this inattention are system downtime, productivity loss and expensive repairs. But by performing periodic assessments, these scenarios can all be prevented.
In our next On the Move Webinar, three of Intelligrated’s Lifecycle Support Services team members will discuss the importance of periodic MHE equipment and system evaluations. Javiera Aguirre, assessment manager, Doug Bach, director of lifecycle sales, and Dave Trice, senior director of business development, will explain how assessments give operators insights into the condition of their equipment and, more importantly, recommend how to mitigate imminent risks and potentially extend system lifecycles. Attendees will learn about the diverse types of assessments and how they help solve numerous business challenges, including:
- Prevent system downtime and productivity loss
- Guide capital planning priorities (obsolescence, major projects, upgrades, changes in operational requirements)
- Establish effective preventive maintenance plans
- Identify gaps in the maintenance operation
