Ekets Uppåkra is a versatile subcontractor of components to various industries and has an extensive machine park. To ensure high productivity and operational reliability, continuous maintenance, rapid repairs and expert support are required when unforeseen breakdowns occur.
A wide range of machinery is challenging
With such a wide range of machinery, interruptions are costly and can affect the reliability of deliveries to customers. Ekets Uppåkra wants to maintain a strategy that is based on sustainability and resource optimization combined with active investment in new technology and machinery.
The solution requires knowledge of the operation
Through a long-term partnership with Jernbro, Ekets Uppåkra has access to:
- Preventive maintenance: Regular service and inspection to minimize downtime.
- Emergency operations: Rapid troubleshooting and repair when unforeseen breakdowns occur.
- Competent resource support: Access to technicians and service employees who are familiar with Ekets Uppåkra’s facility and needs.
- Spindle and electronics service: Repair and renovation of spindles and electronic components, which saves resources and promotes more sustainable production.
− It is a security for us that Jernbro already knows our business. When we have urgent needs, they can quickly step in and resolve the situation, says Mattias Andersson, Maintenance Manager, at Ekets Uppåkra.
Efforts in practice
Examples of concrete assignments that Jernbro has carried out:
- Replacement of rail guides and manufacture of machine guards.
- Manufacture of spare parts and dismantling of older machines.
- Renovations of conveyors and repair of control boards for a more sustainable and resource-saving production.
Results
Thanks to the collaboration, Ekets Uppåkra has:
- Fewer unplanned stops and thus increased delivery reliability.
- Longer service life of their machines because preventive maintenance reduces wear.
- Reduced investment costs in the long term by renovating instead of buying new.
− Jernbro is a good partner with knowledgeable and friendly staff. They simplify our everyday lives and contribute to a stable production environment, emphasizes Mattias Andersson.
Holistic approach
Jernbro’s long-term collaboration with Ekets Uppåkra shows how a knowledgeable partner can take a holistic approach to service, maintenance and repairs. By focusing on preventive measures, emergency interventions and sustainable solutions, a high and consistent production level is ensured. In this way, Ekets Uppåkra can continue to deliver on time to its customers while at the same time working in a resource-conscious and environmentally friendly manner.
