Maintenance for Smoother Operations, Higher ROI

Q: How are maintenance and service companies impacted by the fluctuation of metal prices?
A: Variations in prices do not hit us that much. Services like the maintenance and technical support we provide are constant. If you provide a good service, you will not be impacted by cycles. Our business actually was created in the middle of a mining crisis. Although we have seen a decrease in activity in 1H19, this is mostly because of the uncertainty regarding the change in political administration.
Q: How does AMMMEC divide its maintenance services for the mining industry?
A: Maintenance has three variants: autonomous, specialized and analysis. Autonomous is carried out by the operations team and specialized maintenance includes corrective and preventive. In the analysis part, we concentrate all the information generated regarding the conditions of the machine and use that to make the best decisions for that operation. Preventive maintenance is then divided into two segments based on time and condition of the machinery. For predictive maintenance, we provide tools that help make decisions to optimize operations. Maintenance should be carried out to keep machinery from malfunctioning. It also allows us to generate data and maintain the health of the asset. We offer installation, maintenance and technical support.
