Keeping operations running smoothly post peak

Jan 7, 2025

The festive season is the busiest time of year for many businesses, especially those in eCommerce, logistics, and manufacturing. As warehouses and distribution centres operate at full capacity to meet the heightened demand, automation and conveyor systems face significant strain. Once the peak season subsides, ensuring these systems are back in optimal condition is critical to maintaining operational efficiency and avoiding unexpected downtime.

At CSL Automation, we understand the unique challenges operations teams face after the intense Christmas rush. That’s why we offer comprehensive support for maintaining, servicing, and repairing your automation and conveyor systems. Our ConveyorCare service packages—Bronze, Silver, and Gold—are designed to suit the varied needs of our clients, providing everything from basic maintenance to all-inclusive care.

During a post-peak service, our expert team conducts a thorough inspection to identify and resolve potential issues. This includes replacing worn slats on spiral conveyors, changing damaged or stretched belts, repairing or replacing safety guards, and performing deep cleaning to remove accumulated debris that can hinder performance.

Additionally, we check and recalibrate critical components, ensuring your systems are ready for the year ahead. This proactive approach minimises downtime, reduces long-term repair costs, and keeps your operations running smoothly.

 

Why post-peak maintenance matters

 

After a period of high-intensity use, automation and conveyor systems can show signs of wear and tear. Common issues include:

  • Increased wear on belts and rollers
  • Electrical faults due to sustained operation
  • Accumulated debris affecting performance
  • Components nearing the end of their operational life

Neglecting these issues can lead to unexpected breakdowns, reduced efficiency, and costly repairs later on. A proactive approach to maintenance ensures your systems remain reliable, extending their lifespan and reducing overall operational costs.

 

Mechanical and Electrical Servicing

 

Our expert team is equipped to handle both mechanical and electrical servicing of your automation and conveyor systems. From replacing worn components to conducting thorough system diagnostics, we’ll ensure your equipment is restored to peak performance. Our services include:

 

  • Inspection and replacement of belts, rollers, and bearings
  • Electrical system testing and fault correction
  • Preventative maintenance to identify and address potential issues
  • Lubrication and calibration for optimal operation
