1. Protect your investment and get peace of mind
Regular service extends instrument lifetime by making sure that your instrument is adjusted, recalibrated, cleaned and fine-tuned on a regular basis. But we also take care of your instrument performance. Get access to instrument and calibration performance reports that help you to monitor performance and validate and optimise calibrations. Keeping track of your instrument status is easy via monthly surveillance reports that provide you with the guidance you need to solve potential issues.
With a FOSS service agreement, dedicated service engineers and instrument performance alerts make sure that instrument components are replaced before they are worn-out. This secures that you always have reliable analytical results and prevents time-consuming and possible costly instrument breakdowns and repairs.
2. Get full value of your investment and keep expenses within budget
A SmartCare™ service agreement is comparable to an insurance policy allowing you to maintain your instruments at a fixed low rate and save money on expensive repairs.
- Safeguard your uptime and alleviate troubleshooting.
- Extend your instrument lifetime significantly with Extended Warranty and continuous Preventive Maintenance where wear parts are changed preventively.
- Get expert assistance on minor adjustments whenever you need it using our phone and web-based support.
- Access to industry leading support combined with discounts on training, spare parts, reagents, consumables, and software upgrades
3. Keep production running to protect your business
Unnecessary and unplanned downtime can bring the entire production process to a halt at great expense.
In many industries today, from food to feed and grain, businesses are dependent on a constant flow of analytical data from the production process to secure product quality and profit. Similarly, commercial and raw milk testing laboratories are dependent on high throughput and a continuous flow of results, sometimes on a 24/7 basis. At grain receival stations where grain suppliers bring grain for testing upon delivery, instrument downtime simply means that business goes elsewhere.
This is why many producers today, rely on a service agreement to ensure maximum uptime and keep their business running. And in many cases, producers experience that outsourcing service improves both yield and quality.
4. There’s a service solution to fit your production
FOSS service solutions come with different options to fit your needs, but how do you decide which package is right for your business?
No matter which solution you have, there is always a small risk of instrument breakdown. However, owners of sophisticated instruments require a higher degree of maintenance and repair, and therefore have a lot to benefit from a service agreement that will increase the level of production security, extend instrument lifetime and eliminate expensive repairs.
Another aspect to consider is how dependent your business is on keeping production running. In a meat plant, for example, instrument breakdown means a complete stop of production and a subsequent loss of profit.
