PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
- Comprehensive, multipoint, maintenance program
- To be done once per year, for every work shift
- Allows you to maintain the warranty on your equipment
- Must be performed by the MSK Canada team
What Is A Preventive Maintenance Program?
The Preventive Maintenance Plan is a comprehensive, multi-point maintenance program designed exclusively for vertical storage systems. It covers the mechanical, electrical and IT aspects of both vertical lift modules or VLM or Vertical Carrousels. A preventative maintenance plan is required to maintain the limited warranty on your equipment.
How often should preventive maintenance be performed?
The frequency of use of the automated storage system defines the number of preventive maintenances to be carried out annually. The amount of maintenance required per year corresponds to the number of shifts per day. For example, a company using a VLM system for 3 shifts daily will have to perform 3 preventive maintenance each year.
Why perform preventive maintenance?
The frequency of use determines the appropriate preventive maintenance schedule. As a general guideline, one maintenance visit should be completed annually for each work shift. For example, equipment operating three shifts per day requires three preventive maintenance visits each year.
This maintenance schedule ensures routine maintenance is performed at the appropriate maintenance intervals, reducing equipment downtime while supporting long-term equipment maintenance and maintenance compliance.
Benefits Of A Preventive Maintenance Program
A proactive maintenance strategy helps improve system reliability while reducing the risks associated with reactive maintenance. Regular inspections enable maintenance technicians to identify wear early and schedule maintenance activities before failures affect production.
Unlike reactive maintenance, a structured preventive maintenance program follows a planned process designed to prevent equipment failure before it impacts daily operations.
Reduce Unexpected Downtime
Preventive inspections identify potential issues before they become equipment failures, minimizing costly equipment downtime.
Extend Equipment Service Life
Routine maintenance and properly planned maintenance tasks reduce component wear and support long-term equipment performance.
Protect Your Equipment Warranty
Following the recommended preventive maintenance schedule is essential to maintain warranty coverage and comply with the manufacturer’s requirements.
Improve Equipment Reliability
A structured maintenance strategy improves operational reliability while supporting consistent warehouse performance.
