In today’s highly automated material handling environments, preventing issues is just as important as fixing them. That’s why Spring Automation goes beyond traditional reactive support to offer a proactive approach that enhances system reliability, efficiency, and safety.
From thermal inspections to network analysis, power studies, and system efficiency evaluations, our support services are designed to keep your operations running. Here’s how these advanced offerings can help you identify hidden risks, optimize performance, and reduce costly downtime:
Thermal Inspections
With thermal inspections, Spring Automation can create reports to help detect problems, reduce power outages and troubleshooting times, and increase safety and reliability. Our infrared electric inspections identify hot spots within a control panel. We can develop reports that highlight areas of concern and determine required cooling methods for panels through Natural or Forced Convection, or Closed-loop cooling.
By integrating thermal inspections into your predictive maintenance practices, you gain valuable insights that allow your team to take corrective action before failures occur, minimizing unplanned downtime, extending equipment life, and ensuring a safer operating environment.
Network Analysis
Automation systems rely heavily on high-speed, reliable communication. Spring Automation’s network analysis services identify issues and detect unknown components within the network that compromise system performance.
What We Provide:
- Diagnostics of Ethernet Length and latency issues
- Monitoring of traffic load and network health
- Detection of crimped or damaged cabling
- Confirmation of expected addresses within the network
The result? A clearer picture of your control network’s performance and fewer headaches due to elusive communication issues.
Power Studies
Spring Automation’s power studies provide a comprehensive overview and analysis of your facility’s energy usage, offering real-time data. Our team can remotely access systems, allowing for continuous insight and quicker responses to abnormalities for improvement.
This data allows you to plan upgrades and implement more innovative energy management strategies.
System Efficiency Evaluations
Even a fully functional system can underperform if it’s not optimized. Our system efficiency evaluations examine both hardware and software performance to uncover opportunities for improvement, whether it’s more effective HMI interfaces or better I/O utilization.
Efficiency Evaluations Include:
- Assessing overall system operations to evaluate performance and reliability
- Identifying primary causes of downtime and inefficiencies
- Developing comprehensive reports with actionable solutions to improve uptime and throughput
By taking this step, we help ensure your system isn’t just running, but running at its best, so you can maximize productivity and reduce costly interruptions.
