At BS&i Mechatronics, we are ready to support you with the repair or modification of your devices, components or modules. This may be necessary when they do not meet the desired specifications or when interim design changes are required. With our facilities and craftsmanship we offer high-quality solutions to make your products meet the current spcifications again.
Repair of appliances and components
We are regularly approached by our customers to repair or modify devices or parts thereof. This may be the result of design changes that have to be made to a current order. However, it is also possible that our customer has received parts that do not meet the specifications, resulting in rejection and extra costs. Repairing or modifying the products in question will save costs and time. It is not acceptable that a reject may result in lost sales because the defective part delays the delivery of a device. Moreover, you reduce your environmental impact by preventing products from being scrapped. Our Repair Shop offers an efficient solution:
- Repair of defective parts: We repair a wide range of products such as: electronic, mechanical and electrical components, modules and devices.
- Maintaining quality: Our repair process is organized in the same way as the process for newly built devices. The goal is to bring the product in question back fully up to current specifications through repair or modification.
- Process control: As with the construction of new equipment, in repair we place great value on the reproducibility of the process and the predictability of the result. Repair and modification therefore share the same organizational set-up, allowing us to maximize quality assurance.
- Flexibility: And again, we fully focus on your requirements in terms of quantities and delivery time. Repair of 1 single piece is also possible.
Modification: Adapt to new specifications
Market requirements and customer expectations change rapidly. This creates a need to revise the design of a device. If this happens during an ongoing production order, certain components of that device may no longer meet the new set requirements. We can bring these components back up to the new required specifications for you:
- Design changes: Modifications to devices or components due to changing specifications or functional requirements.
- Upgrades: adding new features or improvements to existing products.
- Technical modifications: This can range from modifications of mechanical, electrical and electronic components to software updates.
- High quality: As in repair, we use the same organizational methods in modification as in new equipment construction. Quality, process control and predictability are paramount here.
Our repair and modification facilities
Our modern facilities are equipped to perform a wide range of techniques and processes:
- Mechanical operations: such as adjusting or replacing mechanical parts, including drilling, milling and pressing.
- Modifications of electronics: Consider ESD-safe replacement of smd components, connectors and application of new connections.
- Electrical modifications: The repair and replacement of actuators, wiring, motors, switches and other electrical components were among the options.
- Software modifications: flashing and testing upgrades of software, firmware and new implementations for embedded systems.
- Tooling in-house: We have the appropriate tooling available for these activities. When necessary, we design and build dedicated tooling ourselves, allowing us to act quickly and flexibly.
Process control for consistent results
As mentioned earlier, we apply our organizational methods not only to new equipment construction, but also to repair and modification. As a result, you are assured of maximum control of processes in these cases as well. Examples include:
- Predictability: The design of the processes allows us to deliver a high-quality result of the repairs and modifications.
- Reproducibility: We do this every time the activity in question is carried out. This is supported by organizational methods that guarantee this.
- Traceability: Also in these activities, we can meet your requirements of traceability of materials, components and semi-finished products….
- ERP-driven processes: As with the construction of new equipment, these activities are driven by our ERP system (Dynamics 365 Business Central). A structured process and documentation of all repairs and modifications are part of this.
- Quality assurance: In addition to the application of the ERP system and therefore a guaranteed structure of work, the organization is set up according to the standards ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 with elements of and IATF 16949. This guarantees an additional assurance of our high quality.
When do you opt for repair or modification?
Over the years we have experienced that there are several reasons to proceed with repair or modification. Below you will find a number of situations for which our customers call on us:
- Parts or modules supplied by our customer do not meet specifications. However, returning them to the supplier in question is not an option. This is because it is either not cost-effective or the supplier in question is not open to it or is no longer available.
- Timely replacement of defective parts by suppliers is not possible due to long delivery times of new parts. This causes undue delays in deliverable orders.
- Interim design changes are required because during an ongoing production order there are new insights regarding the design of that device. The current order cannot be paused because buyers are waiting for the devices in question.
- There is a need for modifications in devices for specific applications. This may be the result of feedback from the user market that requires additional functionality to be added, for example.
- Due to the obsolescence of a design or short life cycle of components making them unavailable, it may be necessary to proceed to modification or repair.
- When cost savings and sustainability are priorities.
