Equipment Preventive Maintenance

All electroinic measuring devices should be calibrated annually and should be maintained on a regular basis to maintain equipment sustainability.To be used efficiently, all products need to have current firmware to be present on the device. Preventative maintenance validations are critical for assuring the quality of device for calibration factors, firmware and hardware automated operations. Preventative maintenance validations can increase the usability and reliability of the device, resulting in decreased failure rates, fewer recalls and corrective actions, less risk to users, and reduced liability to device manufacturers. Preventative maintenance can also reduce long term costs by making it easier and less costly to reliably modify changes to the device. Annual preventative maintenance represents a very large percentage of the total cost of device’s entire life cycle. An established comprehensive calibration factors, firmware and hardware validation process helps to reduce the long-term cost by reducing the cost of validation for each subsequent release of the firmware and product changes.
