BAFCO Reliability

Nowadays, the most pressing issue in manufacturing is how to maintain equipment reliability. Let's start this article with a quick guide to maintaining equipment reliability. One of the most important things that you should know is that before any maintenance activities are performed, you should ensure that there is an initial service evaluation (ISE). An ISE is required only once for each piece of equipment before it enters service. This evaluation will provide information on the effects of use and aging on the equipment. The ISE will allow you to identify any problems before they affect production, as well as provide records for later service requirements. It is not always possible to perform an ISE; however, whenever one can be performed, it should be carried out thoroughly and according to a documented plan. Only in this way can you maximize the benefits of condition monitoring. Condition Monitoring is the practice of using sensors to monitor equipment conditions over their ent...
