We all know that condition monitoring, vibration and thermal analysis are efficient methods of keeping track of your machines or being forewarned of any issues, but many of you may not know that ‘Maintenance Engineering Monitoring’ is just as effective.

By carefully ‘monitoring’ your Maintenance Engineer, an experienced supplier will discover what are the most critical plant items, and will be able to make all the preparations to get a site back up and running as quickly as possible if a nightmare occurs.

When timing is of the essence, what use is a trained engineer, even with a safety passport, as they’ll still need to be up-to-date on site safety procedures and certifications. This significantly delays access, but a well-organised supplier partner will ensure that at least one engineer is always on hand as and when required.

It also helps if your partner’s engineer is an experienced as your own. ERIKS UK & Ireland Repair Service Engineers have been making annual inspection viists to the same sites for deciades, and have a vast array of expertise. As a result, it’s easy for them to assess how many issues have developed since their last visit.

Another thing to consider is the brand-neutrality of your supplier. A business which only supplies will obviously want to replace the item. A supplier tied to a particular brand will only want you to purchase that brand. A repairer will want you to repair the failing machinery. But a supplier like ERIKS, who is not tied to a particular solution or brand, can identify the best option to suit your needs and budget – making a truly neutral reccommendation, determining where the real issue lies.
