Service: Preventative Maintenance (PM) Planning

Focus: Warehouse Automation, System Audits, Downtime Reduction

> Overview

In high-volume warehouse automation, reactive maintenance is the most expensive way to operate. Unplanned downtime during peak throughput can cripple an entire facility. I provide comprehensive system audits to identify degradation before it causes a failure, delivering a customized, proactive Preventative Maintenance (PM) plan that protects your mechanical, electrical, and controls infrastructure.

> Audit & Planning Scope

• Mechanical Systems Integrity: Detailed inspection of drive trains, gearboxes, bearings, pneumatics, and conveyor belting. Generating scheduled lubrication routines, tensioning intervals, and wear-tolerance tracking to prevent catastrophic mechanical failures.
• Electrical Health & Calibration: Auditing power distribution, motor current draws via VFDs, and sensor reliability. Establishing PM routines for photo-eye/scanner cleaning, thermal checks on electrical cabinets, and verifying wire terminations to prevent intermittent faults.
• Controls & Network Infrastructure: The brains of the system need maintenance too. Creating protocols for PLC battery replacements, firmware version control, network switch health checks, and "forcing audits" to uncover and correct sensors that operators have temporarily bypassed in the logic.
• Critical Spare Parts Strategy: Analyzing supplier lead times and historical failure rates to recommend a lean, optimized Critical Spare Parts inventory. Ensuring you have the right components on the shelf without wasting capital on overstocking.

> Deliverables

You will receive a complete system health report alongside actionable, interval-based PM schedules (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Annual). I also provide standardized inspection checklists tailored for your on-site maintenance technicians to ensure the plan is executed smoothly and consistently.
