PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTS164 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 5 | 2025 www.cpi-worldwide.comUnitechnik Systems GmbH now offers the Automation Check-up - a structured service aimed at optimizing automated production systems. This three-step process analyses malfunctions, implements targeted improvements, and thereby increases productivity and operational stability.An unplanned plant shutdown in the middle of peak operations is a nightmare for many companies. When processes stall, deliveries are delayed, and employees are stressed, entire workflows are put at risk. Time and again, it becomes clear that many failures give warning weeks or even months in advance. This is precisely where Unitechnik steps in. With the new Automation Check-up, Unitechnik Systems GmbH introduces a three-phase service concept that goes far beyond traditional maintenance. Its goal is to ensure the long-term technical availability of systems while boosting performance through targeted improvements.Stability instead of error messagesThe concept is based on a structured three-step approach: analysis, implementation, and evaluation. In the first phase, Unitechnik takes a close look at past error reports: Where are the system bottlenecks? What patterns can be identified? This analysis is complemented by a software check-up, since outdated firmware or unused functions can also significantly impact performance. The result is a concrete action plan that clearly shows where and how improvements can be made - both technically and organizationally. Phase two focuses on implementation: Unitechnik%u2019s control system experts handle software adjustments, conduct in-house tests if needed, and oversee the on-site transition. Close collaboration with the customer is essential, as the full optimization potential is realized only when theory and practice come together. The final phase is a detailed before-and-after comparison of system availability. This makes it clear which improvements are already effective and where further potential exists.%u201cOur goal is to support our customers throughout the entire operational lifecycle. The Automation Check-up is a central part of that partnership,%u201d emphasizes Christian Stangier, Head of Customer Service at Unitechnik. %u201cWe help identify weaknesses early and address them in a targeted manner. This prevents costly downtime, reduces unplanned stoppages, and significantly improves operational planning.
