With ever-changing technology in the world of industrial manufacturing, manufacturers of printed circuit boards are always producing new products, and discontinuing boards that are currently in production. This puts the original equipment manufacturer at an advantage, and the end-user of obsolete circuit board products at the mercy of purchasing new circuit boards. Circuit board repair services play a major role in making a decision on whether to upgrade failed equipment or have the failed equipment repaired.
When a circuit board fails, minimal production downtime is critical; circuit board repair centers present expedited solutions to minimize manufacturers’ downtime by working around the clock to repair failed equipment. Board repair centers can often repair failed equipment and get the repaired equipment back into production before the original equipment manufacturer offers their customer a replacement or repair quote.
Manufacturers & Maintenance Techs work with circuit board repair centers because minimizing downtime while meeting customer demands is critical for production. Original equipment manufacturers often do not communicate in a timely manner with maintenance departments and production teams, and manufacturers can lose thousands of dollars in production loss while waiting for the original equipment manufacturer to offer a solution to failed equipment.
Some manufacturers don’t realize that failed circuit boards can be repaired quicker through repair centers, so these manufacturers send their failed circuit boards to the original equipment manufacturer while waiting for a solution; this can cause the manufacturer production loss, existing customers, and new potential customers, if manufacturers are unable to meet production demands of their customers due to downtime.
Spare Equipment on Crucial Production Lines
For crucial production lines, manufacturers should always keep spare circuit boards, variable frequency drives, servo drives, servo amplifiers, servo motors, pumps, induction motors, and all other equipment that is required for their machines to constantly maintain operations with little to zero downtime. When manufacturers have spare equipment for crucial production lines and a primary piece of equipment fails, it’s important to quickly install the spare equipment to get production back up and running. It is also crucial to immediately send the failed equipment out for repair so there is always a spare piece of equipment on hand; this will ensure that whenever a piece of equipment fails during production, there is always a spare piece of equipment that can be quickly installed to keep manufacturing demands at maximum productivity.
