3 Approaches to Preventive Maintenance of Automated Access Systems

Automated access management solutions are complex technical systems that require periodic inspection and maintenance as well as specialized interventions when needed, otherwise they will not operate within the established parameters.

If, in the case of a passenger elevator, periodic technical inspection ensures its proper functioning, extends its lifespan, and reduces the risk of unpleasant or even dangerous incidents, similarly, in the case of automated access systems, inspection and maintenance prevent and limit problem-causing events, while also reducing additional expenses.

A maintenance contract helps you protect your investment, optimize operational budgets, ensure continuity in activity, and focus on business development by leaving system maintenance to specialists.

When we talk about maintenance, we consider 3 possible approaches:

Preventive maintenance
Predictive maintenance
Corrective maintenance

A plan of preventive maintenance aims to prevent equipment failures and maintain them in good working order by replacing worn components before they fail.

In such an approach, periodic checks, partial and/or total inspections are carried out with the frequency established by the manufacturer and at specified intervals, including component replacements, adjustments, lubrication, etc.

Benefits of a Preventive Maintenance Plan

Functionality – Safe operation within parameters of the equipment;
Reduced costs – Lower costs for equipment replacement;
Prevention – Reduction of unscheduled accidental interventions;
Spare parts – Optimized management of spare parts inventory;
Optimal budgeting – Optimization of operational budgets;
Extended lifespan – Increase in equipment lifecycle;

Predictive maintenance contributes to determining the condition of equipment in operation, with the aim of precisely predicting maintenance actions. All this means significant cost reductions compared to routine maintenance actions, as it takes place during the equipment’s operating period, thus minimizing functional-operational interruptions.

Corrective maintenance means intervention for the operative remediation of malfunctions in equipment in operation. The main activities consist of repairing or replacing, as appropriate, parts of the affected equipment and restoring them to operation.
