AUMA investment supports international service strategy
13/05/2013 AUMA Actuators Ltd
Major investment in service facilities, resources and training ensures that AUMA maintains highly responsive, customer focussed support for its modular electric actuators. Responding to growth in its installed base, the UK subsidiary has recruited additional engineers and purchased new support vehicles including fully equipped response vans permanently located close to customers' sites.Investment has also been made in test benches at the company's US, Russian and Italian operations. Representing an investment of approximately 280,000 Euros, the new benches - which are designed to test actuators and controls, replicate the equipment installed at AUMA's main manufacturing plants. During 2013, the group's Chinese operation will also receive delivery of new test benches.
Purchase of test tools is backed by regular education for the company's global workforce. An intensive fieldbus induction was completed by AUMA's Scandinavian technicians and service specialists in Brazil and Singapore successfully completed the Certified PROFIBUS Engineer training course.
Cutting-edge facilities and equipment, supported by a comprehensive training programme, confirms the AUMA group's commitment to after-sales and supports an international strategy to provide proactive, preventative maintenance.
AUMA service support encompasses all process control industries including power, water, oil and gas. Capability includes skills in retrofits, upgrades and comprehensive maintenance schemes including actuator overhaul during power station shutdown.
