Benefits of Planray solutions for maintenance
1. The Planray solution ensures the fastest response time to alarms. In a failure situation, our system issues a timely alarm, which indicates the cause and priority of the alarm and its position on a system map.
2. In addition to this, the system enables you to easily anticipate maintenance. The system tells you when a cable is about to fail, for example.
3. Our controllers have been designed to be easy to install and safe to maintain. The visualisation created in the system installation phase facilitates maintenance and expedites fault positioning.
4. With the Planray system reports, you can indicate power consumption and the savings achieved through optimisation.
5. Thanks to our regular user training, those responsible for the maintenance and servicing of the trace heating solutions will always be capable of using the systems cost-efficiently.
6. Our spare parts deliveries are fast and global.
7. Our products are made to last. They are manufactured and tested at our own factory in Finland.
