We are working hard to solve the problem, but cannot take any steps without permission from the insurance company. We are now at another important decision point and are hoping for the desired response from the insurer,” Claassen explained.” \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Brabant-based client was already affected by a fire at its premises a few weeks ago. Fortunately for this entrepreneur, the fire was limited to the room where the packaging line was located. And so only the filling and palletising machine were damaged. Vezet provides regular maintenance on the packaging line for this customer, so the entrepreneur knocked on the door for help with the damage repair. \u2018Of course we try to serve our customer as quickly as possible in such a situation,\u2019 Claassen says. And so a team from Vezet travelled to the packaging line to take stock of the damage and estimate repair options. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Analysis<\/h2> “What can and can’t be done in terms of overhaul depends largely on how much hold such a fire, as well as the extinguishing water, had on the equipment.”\nDamage analysis involves a team consisting of a programmer, an engineer and a mechanic.\n“Together they look at what kind of damage there is, whether it can be repaired and, if so, how.”\nSometimes cleaning and replacing parts is sufficient, but most packaging lines are also equipped with automation and control systems.\nDamage to these may prompt replacement of wiring and\/or hardware and software.\nEach team member takes stock from their own expertise and together they estimate the work needed.\n“The insurance company sent a cleaning crew immediately after the fire. This made it more difficult for our experts to see exactly where most damage had been done by fire and extinguishing water. Ideally, you see with your own eyes where exactly the fires were, how soot is positioned. Those are signs that help determine the possible damage.” \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Revision<\/h2> Based on the inventory, Vezet concluded that the packaging line could be overhauled.\nIn doing so, the company noted to the insurance company that the relays in the control box probably no longer work.\n“You only have certainty when you can connect the controls. For that, you have to repair the mechanical part of the line first.”\nBased on the damage report, Vezet was allowed to start overhauling the mechanical part.\nThis included replacing the lifting motor of the palletiser.\nIt had been damaged and was no longer available.\nIt was up to Claassen and his team to find such a lift motor, check it completely and install it.\nTo find parts or machines, Vezet relies on an extensive network in the used machinery trade.\nWhen appropriate, Vezet staff can also engineer and customize parts to complete a packaging line.\n“We have all the engineering, programming and assembly knowledge in-house and know the ins and outs of most brands of packaging lines. Because of that interplay, we actually never have to sell no and can always completely relieve our customers when it comes to overhauling and maintaining packaging lines.”\nThis does not include coating and polishing. \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The repair of the mechanical part of the packaging line is just about finished.\n“And now it turns out that our suspicion is borne out. The PLC doesn’t work.”\nThe insurer has to give permission for its replacement, and that decision-making is not going as fast as Claassen would like.\n“Automation and control are proportionally more expensive than the machine itself, so if you can avoid those costs, there is something to be said for that,” observes the Vezet director.\nOn the other hand, he believes that both the insurer and Vezet must serve the customer’s interest.\n“Our customer has been at a standstill for several weeks. The common goal should be to get production back on track as soon as possible. Moreover, both the customer and the insurer benefit from a reliable solution that prevents problems in the future.” \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Replace<\/h2> Claassen hopes he will get permission to replace the PLC in its entirety.\n“Then we will know for sure that we are delivering a reliable line. Moreover, we can immediately install a modem. That gives us the ability to monitor the device remotely and perform preventive maintenance if necessary.”\nThe alternative is to use a second-hand controller whose components are no longer available in the future.\n“This allows for longer downtime in the event of a potential problem in the future,” he said.\nIn addition, the relays will have to be sorted out incrementally to determine what still works and what no longer works.\n“From there, we then rebuild everything step by step. That can be done, but takes time. That’s really searching for a needle in the haystack. It also means that the customer stands still longer and we need weeks more to deliver the line. Only when we ourselves are convinced that we are delivering a reliable product can we complete this project,” Claassen concludes. \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
