Saving Money and The Environment

With the rising costs of production, lower profits and increased taxation on businesses, many companies are now looking at refurbishment rather than replacement when their machinery malfunctions. There are many reasons for opting to keep with the same equipment though, and they are not all financial.

Why Refurbish?

As previously mentioned, cost, for many businesses, is the overriding factor for many refurbishments. With specialised machinery, often costing hundreds of thousands of pounds (or more!) replacement is very often just not the viable option. New machinery has to be transported in, often from overseas, and on top of this, installation can be a long and expensive process, not to mention troubleshooting when the new machinery is in place. A refurbishment will mean that tried and tested equipment will live to see another day; no hefty removals, no compatibility testing, and, most of all, a small fortune saved by the company.

However, it is also ecologically friendly to refurbish instead of replacing. Machinery needs to be taken somewhere after it is decommissioned, and this impacts on the environment. Not only will the company not have to worry about where to put their old equipment, they are in turn also helping save another piece of machinery from the scrapheap.

The company's ability to refurbish automated machinery is not only built on years of experience in this field, but is widely regarded as being of the highest quality.

Years of tried and tested automation testing has led to an in depth knowledge of specialised equipment which will be refurbished and ready to work again alongside brand new machinery with the same results. And there will be no long waiting time for an engineer or parts to arrive. 24/7 availability means that fault finding, engineer attendance and part replacement and installation will be carried out in a short space of time, and with a minimum of fuss. Working with industry leading partners has built up a rightly impressive client list, and has only extended and built on current experience and pioneering methods of refurbishment.

Assembly technologies, automated machinery and service equipment is all able to be successfully refurbished at a fraction of the cost of buying 'like for like', and in many cases, inferior equipment. Considering this option will not only help the environment, but will save the company's purse strings and create an impressive 'ecologically aware' image, whilst at the same time minimising downtime and ensuring business continues as normal.
