Lifecycle Solutions: From Reactive Maintenance to Operational Excellence in Hybrid Digital Printing
From Maintenance to an OEE+ Model
Traditionally, industrial maintenance has followed a reactive approach: intervening when a failure occurs. However, in high-demand production environments such as hybrid digital printing, this model limits the real performance of the equipment.
The KENTO OEE+ model, embedded within our Lifecycle Solutions, redefines this approach by combining:
- Operational excellence support
- Annual and biannual process and maintenance audits
- Scheduled interventions by dedicated process and maintenance specialists
- Comprehensive spare parts management under a Pick & Pay model
- Consignment stock held at the customer’s facilities
- Continuous remote condition monitoring
- Unlimited online assistance
- Remote service platform with VPN access, alarms and regular reporting
The objective is clear: to achieve technical availability close to 95% and stabilise real average production speed.
Lifecycle Solutions: A Holistic Approach
KENTO’s Lifecycle Solutions go beyond conventional maintenance. They are built on a comprehensive lifecycle management approach, where every element is aligned to maximise sustained performance.
This model integrates:
- Machine parameter optimisation
- Continuous operator coaching
- Systematic preventive maintenance
- Ongoing calibration reviews
- Intelligent spare parts management
- Proactive remote support
The focus is not on fixing problems when they occur, but on identifying and correcting performance deviations before they impact production.
From Supplier to Productive Partner
The Lifecycle agreement with Grupo La Plana introduces a structured, results-driven collaboration model. Through an annually renewable contract, it establishes a relationship based on:
- Operational stability
- Cost predictability through a fixed monthly fee
- Reduced capital tied up in spare parts inventory
- Continuous OEE improvement
In this context, maintenance evolves from a reactive necessity into a strategic lever for competitiveness.
Competitive Advantage Lies in Management
In today’s industrial landscape, competitive advantage is no longer defined solely by the installed technology. It depends on how that technology is managed.
KENTO’s Lifecycle Solutions address this reality by providing a structured, measurable, and performance-oriented model that ensures maximum efficiency in hybrid digital printing systems.
We thank Grupo La Plana for their trust and for embracing a modern, structured, and results-driven approach.
The future is not just about technology.
It is Lifecycle.
And it is OEE.
