Maintenance consulting
Maximise plant availability and reliability. An audit can help reduce plant complexity, even with equipment from different manufacturers and a wide range of instrument types. The primary benefit is a clear overview of the installed base via an exhaustive online database. Endress+Hauser consultants also help define any necessary maintenance and calibration work according to available resources and production requirements.
Calibration consulting
Productive metrology leads to sustainable savings. Endress+Hauser expert consultants are able to optimise metrology functions to reduce downtime, labour, product variability, and save raw materials and energy. This service improves quality while cutting costs, allowing users to optimise productivity over the long term.
Device information and documentation throughout the plant life cycle.
Only a clear picture and detailed knowledge of the installed instrument base can act as a solid foundation for a predictive maintenance and optimisation strategy. Whether you need to find information concerning spare parts, verify software versions, trace instrument history records on the basis of key events, or view the plant database with its installed instruments – the data must be up-to-date and available rapidly. W@M Life Cycle Management supports users in operational matters and also assumes strategic tasks.
