Service, maintenance and repair

Upon receipt of the service request from the customer, including machine type, specific data and problems to be addressed, the Sanaco technician will carry out an inspection to diagnose the class of fault.

If the part to be replaced is already in stock, the repair can be carried out immediately; otherwise, an estimate is made of what is needed so that the administration can draw up a specific or rough estimate. The spare parts required for the intervention are then ordered and carried out either by the technician on site or by the repair laboratory, thanks to the availability of a well-equipped workshop and spare parts warehouse.

As in the case of installations, the repair is completed by filling in and sending the Activity Report. In addition, in the case of maintenance, a contract of your choice is concluded in one of these three categories:

• Contract A: includes one or two maintenance visits (other interventions and spare parts are considered extra to the contract);
• Contract B: includes one or two maintenance visits and unlimited interventions (the inclusion of spare parts is considered extra to the contract);
• FULL contract: includes one or two maintenance visits, unlimited interventions and spare parts.

The contract is drawn up in consultation with the customer and includes the number of maintenance visits, the frequency of the technician’s visits and an on-site inspection to assess the type and quantity of equipment present.

At each maintenance visit, the appropriate maintenance procedures are then compiled according to the equipment being serviced.

On-call technical support: Repair

The on-call service is activated by the customer’s acceptance of the request and subsequent entry into the management system. The request is then forwarded to the Technical Manager who will schedule the support according to the skills required, the timeframe agreed and their own availability. To assist the technical assistance service, operating manuals and technical files for the machine must be made available to the technician. When the work is complete, the process ends with the update of the VIT and the delivery of the paper to the customer.

In the context of technical assistance, some services require specific actions, monitoring and controls, for which the following reports are prepared: Maintenance procedures; Measurement protocols.

Instruments subject to calibration are used to carry out checks, monitoring or measurements: A copy of the maintenance procedure or measurement protocol is given to the customer, together with a copy of the calibration certificates of the machines used.

The Service then provides the Activity Report to the administrator to register the activity in the management system. Finally, the invoice is issued in accordance with the commercial agreements with the customer.
