Tool failure during production is a source of considerable inconvenience and frustration. Unexpected downtime is costly, reduces your productivity, and threatens the quality of your products. The issues often correlate with missing maintenance processes.
And we have ALTURE Maintain, a data-driven solution that will help optimize your maintenance schedules - neither too early nor too late - all based on the actual tool usage.
Smart maintenance scheduling - powered by actual usage data
With ALTURE Maintain, you know exactly when your tools require service and even get KPIs for overdue and due-to status that require immediate actions or planning proactively. You have the correct information on hand to minimize the risk of tools failing during operations and avoid costly consequences.
By processing production and tool usage data, service planning becomes much easier and more efficient as ALTURE Maintain provides a proactive overview in weeks/months of when your tools require maintenance and calibration.
Right in the palm of your hand!
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is usage-based maintenance?
The classic way of defining service intervals is usually by time of usage. The challenge of this time-based service interval is that the service life of a tool is very much dependent on how and where it’s being used. Usage-based maintenance enables ALTURE Maintain to schedule service for the tools not only based on time intervals, but also the actual usage of the tool, such as the number of tightening, torque level, and types of joints. As an optimal solution, usage-based maintenance means that the tool will be serviced when it’s time, based on the actual usage, not too early and not too late.
Why is real-time visibility important?
Most of our customers are pushing for higher production flexibility, with constant changes and optimizations. Managing multiple variants on the same line intensifies the pressure to minimize downtime while maintaining quality. Hence it is critical to monitor the status of tools in real time to make sure all the tools are working in the expected condition. Without such visibility, maintenance and calibration needed to adapt to the production changes, could be easily missed and lead to costly production issues.
