Modernization is an event to improve equipment aimed at improving the performance of a particular equipment. Sooner or later, everything that is used by a person in the process of work is exposed to a similar process. The lack of modernization can be quite detrimental to the system as a whole.
What is the point of modernization?
In most cases, you can notice significant malfunctions in the system. However, if the installation has not undergone modernization for a long time, it may even fail. The equipment modernization project is the basis for the start of work to improve the performance of a particular machine. Normalization of work is created on the basis of a pre-planned schedule for the modernization process.
A planning project aimed at improving the efficiency of the equipment is considered the most important aspect. It should be noted that only after the establishment of the project, work on improving the device and its functionality begins.
Improvement of equipment: what is it for?
The modernization of equipment is a critical aspect in the development of technology. In the absence of equipment, as a rule, it malfunctions or becomes inoperative. As a result, the installation should certainly be repaired. Any event aimed at improving the equipment should be held in accordance with the basic rules of operation of each individual machine.
Technological equipment undergoes modernization work after the end of its life. Statistics show that in the conditions of production, 100% of the plants are subject to the modernization process, while having all the relevant documentation on how to modernize the equipment on time.
When do you need to upgrade?
If the main part of the equipment is operational and functioning normally, but for certain reasons is prone to systematic breakdowns, equipment should be upgraded:
- increase reliability;
- improve product quality using the latest regulatory and management technologies;
- significantly increase the number of products;
- thanks to modern diagnostic methods, reduce the search for possible breakdowns and malfunctions;
- modern protection system will extend the life of the equipment;
- increase the culture of production.
Highlights of the modernization of technological equipment
The responsibility of the management of the enterprise, which is responsible for the integrity of the entire production system, includes the implementation of the modernization process, which consists in the following works:
- obligatory and thorough washing of units;
- oil change (if necessary);
- a thorough check of the technological conditions of the machine
- inspection and troubleshooting of the machine under conditions in which normal equipment operation is not possible.
If certain malfunctions are detected, the machine is sent for repair work. If the scheduled repair work will be carried out after a long period of time, then the fitter at the plant must eliminate the malfunction before the start of repair work.
It is worth noting that checking the health of the equipment is a point that is clearly spelled out in the law on GOST regarding technological equipment installed at the factory. Technological work to check the safety and serviceability of the machine must take place at the specified time.
The modernization of equipment can act not only as an improvement of technology, but also as repair work. It is worth clarifying that each machine has its own characteristics and its focus on work. Therefore, the locksmith must take into account all aspects of the operability of the device in order to eliminate breakdowns. If the machine is completely out of order and it is almost impossible to cope with the normalization of its work, then such equipment is sent for repair work, regardless of the start of the repair department.
Repair and modernization
Repair is an essential step in the modernization process. In production conditions, all equipment located is subjected not only to mandatory improvement and analysis of work, but also to repair. An exception is not made and machines with normal performance.
Modernization of technological equipment provides for the improvement of certain functions or details. Moreover, under conditions of modernization, it is emphasized that there is no replacement of parts or a functional part of the machine, but only the completion of certain parts of the system.
In many cases, the modernization process leads to a more efficient and stable operation of the equipment. However, there were cases when the consequence was a breakdown of equipment, as a result of which repair was required. It is carried out mainly in the event of a breakdown of one part or part of the equipment, malfunctions or the complete inoperability of the equipment.
When is the repair done?
Repair work in the production environment begins according to the schedule set at the factory. During the repair, equipment modernization is considered one of the main stages. As a rule, faulty cars get to the repair, for which the following measures should be taken:
- full inspection of the machine;
- identification and study of breakdowns;
- replacement of one or another part;
- replacement of defective parts;
- cleaning parts from rust, dust or other irritants;
- replacement of external parts, such as the outer casing or the bottom of the equipment;
- functional troubleshooting.
Finally
Summing up, we can say that the modernization process is an obligatory stage, affecting the production efficiency. Thanks to GOST, you can set the exact time frame for upgrading. As a result, it is possible to ensure safe work for production workers. It is necessary to reconstruct equipment modernization, which allows you to keep the machine in proper form without repair for a long time.
