SKF Life Cycle Management

Technews Industry Guide: Maintenance, Reliability & Asset Optimisation 2017 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Industrial operations everywhere understand that effective management of assets throughout their lifecycle can deliver significant value and reduce total cost of ownership. No single company is better prepared to help achieve this than SKF.

SKF – at the heart of OEM assets since 1907

The company’s history of providing bearings, seals, lubrication, linear motion, actuation and mechatronics solutions for OEMs in every major industry, gives it in-depth knowledge of industrial assets. From specification, design and development to manufacturing and testing, SKF works with OEMs to solve application challenges and deliver world-class solutions globally.

Supporting assets in the aftermarket

Building on this knowledge, the organisation has developed advanced services and technologies to provide optimum replacement parts at the right time to maintain, monitor, repair and optimise the efficiency of plant assets throughout their operating life.

Closing the asset lifecycle loop

The SKF Life Cycle Management loop is closed by channelling its ‘end user’ knowledge back into the specification phase of next generation equipment. Technologies such as condition monitoring, can be designed into new OEM assets or retrofitted, constantly improving and providing differentiation in competitive markets, adding value, and extending the possibilities for aftermarket services and enhanced machinery maintenance.

Delivering benefits to our customers

At every stage of the asset lifecycle, SKF products, advanced services and solutions assist customers with improved productivity, energy and resource efficiency, reduced maintenance costs and optimised designs for long service life and reliability, ultimately helping to make them more successful, sustainable and profitable.
