Comprehensive preventive maintenance checks, including a web application created by APEL, provide more efficient, responsive and productive preventive maintenance.

On our intranet, historical data is accessible for all equipment, including real-time maintenance data and details concerning the useful life of each machine, along with guidance to avoid repetitive breakdowns and for making improvements to lifting equipment

The equipment data is collected by a technical team dedicated to preventive maintenance, equipped with tablets that enable a full checklist to be completed.

This data is transmitted to the Technical Service Administration office in APEL via GPRS, in order to evaluate the collected information and send an on-line technical report to improve decision making.

Access the intranet is obtained with a user name and password, enabling access to all information regarding equipment maintenance, safety and machine reliability issues.
