Technological innovation offers numerous opportunities to improve the maintenance systems of packaging plants.
Industry 4.0 has redefined various aspects of the traditional factory, involving all phases of the life cycle of machines and plants. For example, the predictive approach, which derives from the machine learning that machine learning systems process based on the history of the data acquired, minimizes the risks of possible downtime.
In this article, we will analyze the systems set up by SIPA with regard to the effective maintenance of the systems.
SIPA's experience in plant maintenance
SIPA, as a leading company in PET packaging systems, is able to offer maximum support for all forms of maintenance. Specifically:
Preventive maintenance: Preventive maintenance is essential in order to prevent unexpected breakdowns. These are scheduled interventions based on a pre-established timetable or on the analysis of the condition of the machines. It includes inspection, lubrication, cleaning, and periodic replacement of critical components.
Predictive Maintenance: The use of sensors for advanced monitoring allows you to set up a predictive maintenance system. This approach is based on the collection and analysis of data in order to predict impending failures and to plan maintenance activities in a targeted manner. For further information, we invite you to read the article that explains the ideal fulfillment of this service.
Corrective Maintenance: Corrective maintenance occurs after a breakdown or malfunction in the system. While it is preferable to avoid this form of maintenance, it is still important that the supplier is ready to respond quickly to minimize downtime.
Improvement Maintenance: This type of maintenance aims to improve the performance of the plant, energy efficiency or product quality. It includes technological upgrades and design changes to optimize the plant itself.
The different types of maintenance are essential steps in order to guarantee contractual performance, safety regulations, optimal operation and reliability over time, but also to reduce the overall costs measured over the life cycle of the machines.
SIPA offers its customers a complete maintenance service on a personalized basis. This means specific contracts depending on the model, age and workload of the machines with the aim of keeping the machines or the entire production line in like-new condition.
But that's not all: targeted audits are also available to customers aimed at thoroughly analyzing the state of health of the machinery in order to optimize future maintenance by replacing only the components that are worn or damaged.

The importance of original spare parts
SIPA original spare parts are the best solution to ensure a high quality standard of individual machines.
In fact, the use of original SIPA spare parts offers the certainty of maintaining the performance and durability of the systems unchanged in the medium and long term. SIPA's commitment is to ensure the availability of spare parts quickly and anywhere in the world.
For this reason, SIPA has developed a logistics process and strategically located warehouses, fully integrated with each other for the widespread distribution of spare parts.
Interactive spare parts catalogue: precision and ease of access
The interactive spare parts catalogue offers precise and immediate consultation, making 3D manuals available as an integral part of the equipment.
In addition, it is easily accessible online via the ECHO platform, in the special package called WAREHOUSE.
Essential features of the service
Guaranteed accuracy: The catalog is designed to provide detailed and accurate information about spare parts. This ensures that traders can quickly find what they need without any uncertainty.
Machine integration: Interactive 3D manuals are included as an integral part of the machines themselves, ensuring that operators have direct access to the information needed during maintenance activities.
Online access: The ECHO platform offers online access to the catalogue, allowing users to search and find the spare parts they want from anywhere using the internet connection. It is possible to use the catalog as an e-commerce by adding the selected spare parts directly from the manuals/3D drawings to the cart. In this way, a maintenance technician can generate a precise shopping list that the purchasing department can then buy with a click.
The interactive spare parts catalogue is designed to simplify search and reference, ensuring accuracy and accessibility.
