Operation and Maintenance

This chapter describes important aspects of the operational phase of a machine unit. Crucial is the existence of an individual monitoring, maintenance, and repair strategy. The existing machine and condition monitoring systems continuously provide important data on availability. Also described are measures that must be regularly carried out in terms of maintenance and inspection. A section is specifically dedicated to the topic of machine revision. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive and requires detailed planning and good management by the maintenance team. Due to bottleneck studies, there are often desires for capacity expansion and optimization of the machine lines. A final section describes the approach and the planning and technical possibilities for this.
