Before start-up

Before start-up

Systemically preparing and setting up your measuring device is vital for ensuring smooth, sustained operation that delivers results on time. Unpleasant surprises caused, for example, by an inadequate infrastructure, missing certification or a lack of knowledge can be effectively prevented.

Advisory service

Our professional advisory service ensures that all necessary framework conditions are created for your devices and software to operate continuously and reliably. We will discuss the following key points with you:

• Future location of the device with regard to accessibility, supply lines and ambient conditions 
• Legal requirements, such as standards, national laws and safety considerations
• Risk assessment for defining the required and available services
• Setting up your individual servicing profile Benefits 

Benefits

• Optimum conditions for successful start-up 
• Individual servicing concept to prevent unplanned output losses

Spare parts

Quick availability of spare parts is essential for preventing device and system failure and to ensure that function and output are restored as fast as possible. Depending on the risk assessment, essential spare parts should be available on-site or close to the device or system. In addition to adhoc spare parts, Minebea Intec also offers tailored spare part packages.

• Starter Kit: The Starter Kit is ideal for new products. The kit includes the most important spare and wearing parts, giving you advanced protection right from the start. 

• Life Cycle Kit: The Life Cycle Kit is designed for maintenance and replacements after months or years of operation, thus optimising the function of your devices. 

• Emergency Kit: This kit contains crucial spare parts. Having parts available as a preventive measure is essential for reducing downtime as much as possible, especially in sensitive areas of the system.

• Total Care Kit: The all-round carefree package. In addition to the standard spare and wearing parts, this kit also contains components that fail less frequently, meaning you are covered for more or less all eventualities

Benefits 

• The spare parts are available when you need them

• Production loss is reduced to the minimum

FAT, SAT, IQ/OQ

Measuring devices, systems and bits of equipment that are used in regulated environments (GMP), in particular, are subject to special test requirements. The tests are carried out within the scope of a documented device qualification procedure (IQ/OQ). 

Similar test scenarios, such as FAT and SAT, are typical in non-regulated environments. A combination of the different test scenarios is also possible in regulated environments. However, it should be noted that, although FAT and SAT can supplement a device qualification procedure, they cannot under any circumstances replace it.

Minebea Intec offers the relevant services for device qualification and acceptance procedures. In addition to operational implementation by our service experts, these also include test plans for proving device suitability.

Benefits

• Documented qualification of your devices in line with directives and standards
• The risk-based proof of suitability increases security against deviations
