How to improve productivity with preventive maintenance in manufacturing

The last thing you want in manufacturing is downtime. But with small continuous improvements, you can significantly improve quality, cost and delivery.

Machine operators usually work closest to the zones where problems or obstacles arise. They play an integral part in prevention and improving productivity within the business. By implementing autonomous cleaning and preventive maintenance, faults may be discovered, and accidents and interruptions averted.

How to succeed with autonomous cleaning

To implement preventative maintenance and autonomous cleaning in your operations, you should equip every workstation with cleaning equipment. Having cleaning tools close by gives machine operators the means to undertake autonomous cleaning. This makes it more likely to be done regularly. It's also more efficient for workers than going off to find supplies. Tork can help you with smart, innovative solutions and make sure you are equipped to improve.
