Advanced Technology Services (ATS)

The ATS team at a leading heavy equipment manufacturing plant recently came together to support Operation Shoebox, a nonprofit organization that reportedly sends between 350 and 400 care packages each week to support deployed troops. This initiative was chosen in recognition of the veterans within our team, including one who is currently deployed. Employees generously donated supplies, which were collected in boxes throughout the facility. This team effort ties to our company-wide Beyond Zero Challenge, where ATS employees earn points by volunteering time and resources for projects that promote safety and well-being in the workplace and beyond. #ThisIsATS #ATSBeyondZero #OperationShoebox

In tire and rubber manufacturing, quality and consistency are achieved by monitoring and controlling key manufacturing process parameters. What’s more, having instrumented the processes, these manufacturing sensors can also support preventive maintenance.

Manufacturing Leadership Council plant tours reveal exceptional strategies and practical insights driving the industry forward.   Each tour we attend is an opportunity to strengthen our approach and collaborate on fresh ideas, allowing us to provide greater efficiency for our manufacturing customers and partners.    Most recently, one of our team members joined the plant tour in Richmond, Kentucky, where he saw firsthand how EnerSys is transforming industrial battery manufacturing into a sustainable, lean operation.   For deeper insights on this most recent tour, visit: https://lnkd.in/ghDq4wMQ

As we express our deepest gratitude to all who have served and continue to serve this Veterans Day, ATS is honored to announce our 12th consecutive year as a Military Friendly® Employer and to be recognized as a Best for Vets Employer by Military Times for the fifth year running.

An electrical preventive maintenance program involves routine inspections and testing of machinery's electrical systems to keep equipment running smoothly and avoid failures. This practice not only helps maintain productivity but also enhances workplace safety by preventing accidents. Additionally, it can extend the life of equipment, ultimately saving costs. So, the next question becomes: What goes into an electrical predictive maintenance schedule, and how should it be implemented?

Fault tree analysis is a top-down, deductive failure analysis used to identify the root causes of system or equipment failures. This systematic approach helps identify potential problems before they arise, ensuring that we can implement effective solutions. By analyzing the pathways that could lead to failures, organizations can not only enhance their safety measures but also improve overall efficiency. Learn how it works and explore a practical example of a fault tree analysis for maintenance in this blog: https://lnkd.in/gDS7xmBB #FaultTreeAnalysis #FTA #IndustrialMaintenance

Understanding the role of Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) in manufacturing is essential for enhancing asset performance. MRO strategies can lead to reduced downtime, improved efficiency, and longer equipment lifespan. By focusing on proactive maintenance and streamlined operations, manufacturers can ultimately enhance productivity and minimize costs.

With Reliability 360® Machine Health Monitoring, sensors collect vital machine performance data and transmit it to a cloud-based system for analysis. By detecting fluctuations in asset health, early intervention can prevent potential machine failures—reducing downtime, improving efficiency, and supporting data-driven maintenance strategies.

In manufacturing, ghosts are best left to Halloween. With the right maintenance approach, production lines can stay reliable and free from spooky surprises. Here’s to a season of treats — and less fright on the production floor! #HappyHalloween

A troublesome conveyor belt — perhaps it’s not moving smoothly, or it’s pushing product against rails and guards — can also lead to waste. For example: ■ Containers might get marked and subsequently be rejected ■ Liquids could spill, transferring to adjacent containers and dripping onto the floor to cause slip hazards ■ Dry packaging can get torn open Scenarios like these can be avoided by performing regular and effective conveyor belt maintenance.
