Through refurbishing, we give your devices, modules and systems a second life. Whether refurbishing outdated products, upgrading technology or restoring functionality-we offer customized solutions that combine quality, cost savings, environmental awareness and sustainability. At BS&i Mechatronics, we understand the value of sustainable solutions.
What is refurbishing?
In case you are not already familiar with it, we will explain the concept of refurbishing. In fact, refurbishing is more than repairing or replacing parts. In essence, it means that appliances are completely disassembled. All parts are cleaned and checked for condition, function and damage. The damaged and functioning parts are repaired or replaced. Then the device is reassembled and tested. This process has some variations such as:
- Overhaul: Components are cleaned, tested and replaced if necessary.
- Upgrading: Software upgrades are made and features are improved or newly added.
- Return to new condition: Devices are completely brought back to new condition by performing overhauls and upgrades. The exterior is also completely brought back to new condition so that they function like new.
When do you choose refurbishing?
Refurbishing is an excellent choice when:
- Devices no longer function optimally, but the basic structure is still intact.
- You want to cut costs without sacrificing quality.
- You want to upgrade outdated products to the latest technical level.
- Make environmental awareness and sustainability a priority in your operations.
Why refurbishing?
Refurbishing offers numerous advantages over complete replacement:
- Cost savings: Refurbishing devices saves significantly on the cost of new production.
- Sustainability: By reusing, you contribute to a circular economy and reduce waste.
- Speed: Refurbishing often has shorter lead times than designing and manufacturing new devices.
Cross-sector expertise
BS&i Mechatronics serves various markets such as medical, paramedical, food, heavy duty applications. We can do this because we focus on technology, the common factor between all markets. This is why we can also offer refurbishing focused on technology and regardless of the market.
Our refurbishing services
We offer a wide range of refurbishing services tailored to your demand:
- Inspection and diagnosis: Thorough analysis of the status of your device, including functional tests and visual inspection.
- Repair and replacement: Defective parts are replaced with high-quality components.
- Upgrades: We integrate modern technologies such as improved electronics, software updates or new sensors.
- Cleaning and calibration: Devices are cleaned, calibrated and tested to meet desired specifications.
- Reconditioning: devices are restored, both functionally and aesthetically, for an optimal user experience.
Understanding costs
Refurbishing often reveals that the same parts have failed or show excessive wear. This while other parts show hardly any wear and tear and can be reused. We map this out per device. This allows us to quickly provide insight into the costs per device. Moreover, we discuss a limit for the maximum cost per device. After all, it must be worthwhile to refurbish a device. This ensures that there are no surprises and that you can plan your refurbishing budget.
Our refurbishing facilities
Our organization is generically set up based on the ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards. This means that our refurbishing process is also set up for control, reproducibility, quality and speed. It makes no difference to us organizationally whether we build a new device or refurbish devices. When refurbishing, we use all the facilities that are also used in the regular construction of new devices. Think of:
- Required Techniques: We have the techniques to repair or modify mechanical, electrical and electronic components.
- Organization: For refurbishing, we deploy the same organizational methods as for the assembly of new appliances. This ensures predictable high quality and short lead times.
- ESD-safe workstations: For safe handling of sensitive electronic components.
- Tooling in-house: For specific refurbishing tasks, we develop and produce our own tools and resources.
- Clean workstations: We also use our clean and dust-free workstations for refurbishing appliances.
Quality and traceability
At BS&i Mechatronics, quality is paramount. Because we also use our regular organizational methods when refurbishing appliances, you are assured of controlled and predictable refurbishing methods that include:
- Traceability: complete documentation of refurbishing activities through unique serial numbers and production logs.
- Quality assurance: Refurbishing takes place within the same quality organization as that of regular production according to our ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certifications.
- Documentation: Detailed reports on work performed and improvements.
