Unplanned downtime on a machine can lead to large costs by creating negative economic ripple effects. Here are examples of negative impacts an unplanned stop can trigger:

• Stop in the production flow
• Cost of possibly moving production if this is possible
• Delay in the delivery of products to the end customer
• Cost of staffing/overtime to make up for the delays
• Permanent damage to machine and tools
• Shortened lifetime/permanent damage to machine
• Frequency of unplanned stops

This can be avoided with proper preventive maintenance, which is why we at Wictus have a strong focus on this. We offer operator maintenance and preventive maintenance. WictusNet is our own maintenance system. Through this web portal, our contract customers have access to the history of their machines, including deviation lists and reports.

Operator maintenance is a preventive maintenance system for operators. We believe that the most important person in a well-functioning preventive maintenance is the operator. We have prepared routines that the operator has access to via a web portal and can be used either via a smartphone or a PC.
