For three years now, Bob Brakel, head of the technical department at pot plant nursery Richplant in the Netherlands, has been using the Service Engine of Royal Brinkman. This smart, web-based tool for desktop and smartphones provides a complete overview of the maintenance status of the installations and equipment of the company. "It keeps us on track, so that preventive maintenance and compulsory inspections are carried out according to the plan. It enlarges the certainty of the company, which saves time, money and concerns.”
Preventive maintenance hinders breakdowns and extends the lifetime of the equipment and installations. Any grower or technician will immediately agree. Nevertheless, due to the busy everyday life, it is often forgotten or postponed indefinitely. “Then, logically, something goes wrong that could have been prevented", Bob Brakel knows from his own experience. "And you will just see that this happens in the heat of the moment, when you cannot afford breakdowns or delays. Fortunately, thanks to the Service Engine, this is now a rare occurence.
"Even in busy periods, we are able to prevent breakdowns and delays."
