Refurbished equipment is, in spite of itself, the victim of prejudice.
I grant you a new equipment is beautiful, it's functional and it's expensive.
But if the new equipment is no longer available at the manufacturer, or available with a significant delivery time, everything is not so beautiful or functional for your production.
Under these conditions, manufacturers are looking to alternative solutions including the purchase of refrubished parts.
Refurbished is indeed an alternative solution to new builders solutions, an environmentally friendly solution that also promotes the reuse of equipment that still work.
But there are all these psychological barriers that all too often associate the word refurbished with the occasion.
For the uninitiated, "refurbished" is equated with poor state, non-functioning, old, uncertainty, risk.
Our vision is different because we provide a service and therefore we would have more vision: refurbishment, testing, warranty, obsolescence management, financial gain
So let's live with our prejudices but the important thing is to try!
Obviously it is necessary to differentiate the refurbished from the occasion.
The opportunity is a raw product with the only certainty is that you acquire it in its current state.
The refurbished is a processed product that has undergone preventive actions, tests, cleaning and a warranty of at least one year.
This transformation is the difference!
More and more people are wondering why paying for a product that's 40% more expensive to get the same result and the same guarantees that a manufacturer has.
If we report this to our activity, then in fact PLC, operator panel, variator, robotics, numerical control, ... all these electronic elements mounted on industrial machines have their equivalences on the repackaging market.
We have created a repackaging process using precise and proven methods.
We buy from industrialists stocks of unused equipment or disassembled their machines. This equipment then passes into the hands of experienced technicians who will carry out a complete diagnosis, a set of preventive actions necessary to ensure long-term reliability, functional tests, a complete cleaning to remove grease and dust, and a repackaging for guarantee long-term operation.
Choosing a reconditioned solution can allow you to react quickly to a production stoppage, to create strategic stocks on obsolete items at the manufacturer and thus postpone the deadline for technological migration or the purchase of a new production tool. It is also an ecological choice because we favor the reuse of material dedicated to the destruction and a financial choice because in most cases the difference in price will be significant compared to a new equipment.
I hope I have aroused your interest and enlightened you on the concept of repackaging at PLSWISS.
