MANY MACHINES and lines have critical components with a long design lifetime, but often these parts will fail within the machine lifetime. Breakdown of those critical parts is devastating for the production process, since most companies don’t have these critical parts in stock. The results are long downtimes and high costs for your customers, paired with the need for experienced service engineers on-site for replacement.
