Keep your scale running with Preventive maintenance. Planned maintenance activities such as
calibrations and routine care help to greatly reduce unexpected downtime. However,having a contingency plan for spare parts and maintaining spare part kits on hand, you also avoid supply chain issues and ensure that you have the right parts ready to be installed in your scale. This helps to eliminate long lead times, travel and installation times and additional labor and shipping costs.
Additionally, it is a good idea to speak with your service technician about keeping all equipment current. Anticipating the end of your equipment’s lifecycle can help to ensure you’re prepared with a plan for replacement. Replacing old equipment before it breaks down can save significant amounts of time and prevent profit loss.
