The functioning of instrumentation is largely dependent on regular maintenance. Inspection and repair of devices is carried out according to the established schedule. Maintenance of instrumentation is carried out by specialized specialists who have extensive experience and relevant qualifications in this question.
Documents regulating the maintenance of instrumentation
-
Instruction for the operation of instrumentation. Issued by the manufacturer. It should be kept throughout the life of the equipment.
-
Maintenance and repair card - takes into account the operational requirements of the device prescribed in the instructions, as well as the control system in which it operates.
-
Maintenance schedule for instrumentation - determined depending on the repair cycle and maintenance card.
Instrument Maintenance Cost
Calculation of the cost of maintenance services for instrumentation depends on the scope of work and the remoteness of the enterprise. Usually professionals rely on hourly pay. VAT of 20% is calculated and paid in addition to the amount to be paid to the maintenance technicians.
How to identify an instrument maintenance contractor
An important requirement for a company or private specialists who will carry out maintenance and repair of instrumentation are:
-
experience in this field;
-
profile education and qualifications;
-
the availability of documents allowing to engage in this activity;
-
reviews and letters of recommendation;
-
the possibility of arriving at the enterprise, including from another city.
In an ideal situation, maintenance, scheduled and forced repairs should be carried out by specialists who carried out the setup and start-up of the equipment. They will spend less time working, as they are already familiar with these devices and the principle of their functioning in specific production processes.
If there is no opportunity to invite such specialists for maintenance, the choice of a contractor should be approached very seriously, spending time studying information and communicating. Cooperation must be supported by the conclusion of an agreement indicating the types of work and estimates. In this way, the norms of the law will be observed, and the interaction will take place without surprises.
