Unexpected tool failures are detrimental to your productivity

Unplanned assembly tool breakdowns? Here’s how to eliminate them

5 minute(s) to read

Unexpected tool failures are detrimental to your productivity. Understand the Atlas Copco solutions that are ensuring manufacturers stay ‘business as usual.’

Preventative maintenance is a vital process for your company. It enables you to take care of your investment and optimize performance. This is especially important as our products, tools, and systems become more complex.

Whether you need a solution that can keep up with the maintenance schedules of your tools or a data-driven service for maintenance, quality, and process optimization, Atlas Copco has you covered. We have a range of service solutions that will optimize assembly, ensure production quality, and support the maintenance of your tools. Read on to discover the solutions we have to offer and the difference they can make to your assembly.

ToolCover service level agreements

ToolCover is a service-level agreement that enables our customers to optimize their tool maintenance, which helps to increase uptime in production. ToolCover is split into three modular packages, ranging from baseline to premium protection so you can choose the best plan for you.

ToolCover Protect: Annual calibrations and preventative maintenance for your tools.

Service agreement from Atlas Copco

ToolCover Stability: All the benefits of ToolCover Protect, plus repairs and spare parts.

Service agreement from Atlas Copco

ToolCover Uptime: All the benefits of ToolCover Protect and ToolCover Stability, plus on-site support and tool management.

These packages are designed to best fit your needs with planned preventive maintenance to keep your tools and production running smoothly. With these packages, our experts will help to maintain and protect your valuable investments by minimizing online failures, reducing and fixing your maintenance costs, and improving your overall productivity and uptime. The more your plan covers, the greater value the plan is to you and your assembly.

Best of all, when you choose Atlas Copco, we won’t only service Atlas Copco tools. All your tools are covered under our plans. Not only that, but our experts can do it better, faster, and cheaper than our competitors.

ALTURE – Data-driven services from Atlas Copco

Another service we offer is called ALTURE. Depending on your production needs, you can choose from two different versions of this solution: ALTURE: Optimize or ALTURE: Maintain.

Alture - Optimize Software Logo

ALTURE: Optimize: Utilizes production data to alert you about tightening trends and provides potential root causes and recommendations on issues that arise.

Alture - Maintain Software Logo

ALTURE: Maintain: Provides an overview of when your tools require maintenance and calibration. Utilizing production and tool usage data also enables it to determine when a tool requires service and where it is located in your plant.

For the purpose of this article, we will focus on ALTURE: Maintain, which keeps track of when maintenance and calibration need to be done, vital program changes that occur, and any tightening errors that may arise. This helps to improve production uptime as it will eliminate the occurrence of your tools unexpectedly failing during production. This completely optimizes the maintenance process, enabling you to stay on top of your most vital resource: your tools.

Optimized maintenance

At Atlas Copco, we want to ensure that you’re always in the know when it comes to your tools. Not all applications and tools are created equal. Depending on many factors, including tool type, joint type, and duty cycle, optimized maintenance will recommend the right maintenance cycles to ensure peak tool performance.

Our experts are working hard to bring you a solution that will keep you one step ahead of your tools, enabling you to service them when it’s convenient rather than after they’ve already failed. This will give you a broader understanding of your tools’ past, present, and possible future needs.

To sum it up

Our experts are hard at work creating solutions that work just as hard as you do, enabling you to stay ‘business as usual.’ When one tool unexpectedly fails, it disrupts your entire flow, slowing your assembly processes and increasing downtime and overall costs. By using our service solutions to keep track of your tool maintenance, you can avoid unplanned breakdowns.
