While there are many factors affecting equipment uptime, there are six main areas to consider when analyzing your facility’s production:
1. No Preventative Maintenance Plan
Without a preventative maintenance plan in place, frequent equipment failures and unexpected stoppages can result. Regular maintenance and proactive monitoring are crucial to minimize downtime.
2. Using the Wrong Adhesive Equipment For Your Application
Using equipment that isn’t suited to your specific adhesive application can lead to inefficient performance, frequent malfunctions, and reduced uptime. Knowing that your equipment matches your production needs is essential.
3. Adhesive Quality Issues
Low-quality or incompatible adhesives can cause poor bonding, clogs, or excessive wear on equipment, leading to more frequent breakdowns and reduced efficiency. Consistently using high-quality adhesives allows for smoother operations.
4. Operator Error
Inadequately trained staff can cause operational inefficiencies and increase the likelihood of errors. Providing comprehensive training for employees on equipment use and maintenance is essential to improve equipment uptime.
5. Delayed Repairs and Suboptimal Parts Management
Difficulty in sourcing high-quality parts can lead to extended downtimes and reduced efficiency. Having access to an always-available inventory of OEM and KEYSTONE brand parts keeps production lines running smoothly.
6. Environmental Factors
Extreme temperatures, humidity, or dust in the production environment can affect both the adhesive and the equipment. Maintaining a controlled environment helps prevent unnecessary wear or malfunctions.
APPLIED Adhesives offers comprehensive features that include preventive maintenance, access to high-quality parts, and expert technical support. These services help reduce downtime, enhance performance, product quality, and improve equipment availability.
Well-trained employees operate equipment and perform basic maintenance tasks more efficiently, reducing the likelihood of errors and downtime.
