Unplanned downtime and equipment failures can cost you time, money, and a lot of stress. Here are some of the main benefits of having a preventative maintenance plan.
1) Preserved Reliability
Preventative maintenance ensures that all security components, such as bollards, crash barriers, automatic gates, and access control systems, remain operating at peak efficiency and in proper working order. Reliable security systems are essential for safeguarding property and assets and taking the necessary steps to maintain equipment can significantly improve their lifespan. Our maintenance and training programs work together to ensure that both equipment operations and the on-site personnel are successful.
2) Cost Savings
Routine maintenance provides a variety of cost-savings benefits. Annual safety inspections, 24/7 emergency response plans, on-site/ongoing training, all impact the bottom line in a positive way if done correctly. They help identify and address issues before they escalate into costly equipment failures or security breaches, which could also lead to fines, legal costs, or reputational damage. Long story short, a more cost-effective approach is maintaining your security systems rather than replacing or repairing them sooner than needed. Taking a proactive approach, like what Sloan Security Group offers, helps prevent equipment failure by adhering to regular maintenance procedures that can lead to long-term cost savings and extend the lifespan of your security equipment.
3) Improved Safety
Regular maintenance checks can identify and resolve safety hazards or security risks. Identifying and addressing vulnerabilities like damaged fencing, faulty gate operators, exposed wiring, control systems malfunctioning, etc. prevents accidents and injuries to both security personnel and individuals. An effective preventative maintenance plan streamlines responses to security threats, minimizing downtime and bolstering safety for personnel. By conducting preventative maintenance and offering on-site training, not only are you enhancing equipment safety, you’re also ensuring a secure facility and providing a safe environment for both employees and pedestrians.
4) Optimal Performance
Preventative maintenance is critical to optimizing performance of security equipment and systems. By effectively maintaining equipment, you can ensure systems stay reliable and function as their intended to. Ongoing maintenance should include regular testing and calibration of equipment, along with software updates, to ensure that security systems are operating at their best.
By making this a priority, organizations enhance the overall performance and effectiveness of the security system while providing site managers additional peace of mind. Companies like Sloan Security Group ensure your equipment is always running efficiently with daily, weekly, or monthly checks as needed given your specific situation.
5) Minimal Downtime
Preventive maintenance programs, like those offered by Sloan Security Group, are designed to have a direct and positive impact on your day-to-day operations by decreasing and optimizing equipment downtime procedures. Failing security systems can have a large effect on any organizations day to day; they create stress for facility managers, makes you more vulnerable to security risks, and threatens your overall security posture. An effective preventative maintenance plan minimizes routine equipment downtime and streamlines response to any unexpected equipment failures; and working with a professional service partner will ensure you have the right maintenance plan for your facilities.
6) Asset Protection
Neglecting maintenance can lead to a significantly shorter lifespan of security equipment and the need to replace it, leaving you open to security risks and potentially draining resources. Preventative measures are intended by equipment manufacturers when designing their equipment, but unfortunately no equipment is immune to maintenance needs.
No one wants to have to replace retractable bollards, wedge barriers, or operated gates sooner than they have to, so do yourself a favor and avoid doing so by developing a preventative maintenance plan that keeps equipment protected and operating at peak efficiency.
Don't wait to start a maintenance program for your automated security equipment. The sooner you start, the better off you'll be in the long run. If you would like information or pricing on a preventative maintenance plan for your business, please contact us.
