Off-site engineering reliability service

The off-site engineering reliability service is a low cost means for companies to have their maintenance and production databases checked for reliability trends and identification of critical weaknesses in their maintenance strategies. The analysis provided is intended to close the loop for the engineering and maintenance department whereby historical data is used to identify and justify improvements in:

• PM strategies
• Operator set-up and utilisation of equipment
• Capital improvement and equipment design upgrades

Maintenance systems establishment and refinement

Covaris has mature and time/cost-effective processes for the establishment of maintenance systems, either in a new site or to improve an existing site with poor maintenance control. These processes have been implemented multiple times with excellent results and closely involve the maintenance team to ensure ownership of the final result.
Covaris has also developed a comprehensive process that may be tailored to an enterprise, consisting of one or multiple factories/sites, for the improvement of asset management through maintenance improvement, fault reduction, cost optimisation and risk control. The core elements allow a company to pass through three stages of asset management maturity:
1. Maintenance in control
2. Cost optimum maintenance
3. Maintenance is part of our competitive advantage

The elements that allow this process include work control, spares management, fault finding, budget control, technical systems, people skills and safety. The implementation of the process may be a full-blown company maturing project, or may consist of applying discrete elements for targeted improvements.
Covaris is a technically-focused organisation with total commitment to research and development, evidenced by the publications of the company and the new products generated throughout its history. The company has in-depth knowledge of a range of modern computerised maintenance management systems and can assist with establishment, training and value-adding through specialised add-ons.
