Specialist automation support that complements your FM team
acilities management companies are responsible for keeping complex sites safe, compliant and operational. But as automation becomes increasingly central to day-to-day operations, maintaining specialist conveyor and material handling systems requires a level of technical expertise that may sit outside a traditional FM maintenance provision.
That’s where ConveyorCare comes in.
ConveyorCare works alongside facilities management companies as a specialist conveyor and automation maintenance partner. We support FM providers with the engineering expertise, responsive service and tailored maintenance programmes needed to keep critical automation systems operating reliably.
Rather than replacing existing maintenance teams, we work as an extension of them, bringing specialist knowledge of conveyor, controls and automation systems to help facilities management companies deliver a more comprehensive service to their clients.
Specialist support for complex automated environments
From distribution centres and manufacturing facilities to logistics hubs and other high-throughput environments, automated systems are often critical to operational performance.
When a conveyor or automation system stops, the impact can quickly extend beyond the equipment itself. Downtime can disrupt production, delay orders, increase labour costs and affect the ability of a facilities management provider to meet agreed service levels.
While FM teams may manage a broad range of building services and infrastructure, conveyor and automation systems require specialist maintenance knowledge.
ConveyorCare bridges that gap.
We work collaboratively with facilities management companies to provide the specialist support required to maintain, service and repair conveyor and automation equipment. Our approach is built around understanding the site, the system, the operational requirements and the commitments the FM provider has made to its client.
Step 1: Understanding the site and existing maintenance strategy
Every partnership begins with gaining a detailed understanding of the operation.
Before recommending a maintenance solution, ConveyorCare works with the facilities management provider and site teams to understand the equipment in place, its criticality and the existing maintenance arrangements.
This can include:
- Assessing conveyor and automation systems across the site
- Reviewing the condition and performance of key equipment
- Identifying recurring faults, failure points and operational risks
- Understanding existing maintenance schedules and responsibilities
- Reviewing historical breakdown and maintenance information
- Discussing site-specific requirements, operating hours and access arrangements
- Understanding service level agreements and response requirements
This allows us to build a clear picture of where specialist support is needed and how ConveyorCare can integrate into the existing FM operation.
The result is not a one-size-fits-all maintenance package, but a support solution designed around the needs of the facilities management company and its client.
Step 2: Creating a bespoke automation maintenance solution
Once the site requirements have been established, ConveyorCare develops a maintenance and support programme tailored to the equipment and operational environment.
Depending on the site, this may include:
- Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
- Conveyor and automation system inspections
- Mechanical and electrical servicing
- Condition-based monitoring
- Reactive breakdown support
- Emergency engineering response
- Fault finding and technical diagnostics
- Spare parts identification and management
- Asset condition reporting
- Lifecycle planning and upgrade recommendations
- Continuous improvement support
The level of support can be adapted to suit the facilities management provider’s existing capabilities.
For some FM companies, ConveyorCare may provide a complete specialist maintenance service for automation equipment. For others, we may work alongside their in-house engineering teams, providing additional expertise for planned servicing, complex faults or specialist breakdown response.
Our role is flexible: providing the right level of specialist support without disrupting established site processes.
Step 3: Working as an extension of the Facilities Management team
Successful facilities management relies on coordination.
Sites may have multiple maintenance providers, in-house teams, operational managers and contractors all working within strict schedules and service requirements. Introducing a specialist automation partner should strengthen that operation—not create another layer of complexity.
ConveyorCare is designed to work alongside existing FM teams.
We integrate our service around the operational requirements of the site through:
- Coordinated maintenance schedules
- Clear roles and responsibilities
- Close communication with site and FM teams
- Flexible attendance around production and operational schedules
- Agreed reporting and escalation procedures
- Support aligned with client SLAs and contractual requirements
- Responsive engineering assistance when issues arise
Our engineers become a specialist point of contact for conveyor and automation systems, giving facilities management teams access to focused technical expertise when they need it.
This collaborative approach helps ensure that automation maintenance forms part of a joined-up facilities management strategy.
Step 4: Providing the specialist expertise facilities teams need
Conveyor and automation systems combine mechanical, electrical and control technologies. Diagnosing and maintaining them effectively requires an understanding of how these elements interact.
ConveyorCare provides facilities management companies with access to specialist engineering knowledge without the need to build and maintain that expertise entirely in-house.
We support site teams with:
- Specialist mechanical and electrical fault finding
- Conveyor and automation system diagnostics
- Technical guidance and engineering recommendations
- Identification of developing equipment issues
- Advice on reliability and performance improvements
- Clear maintenance and service reporting
- Support with ageing equipment and lifecycle challenges
By working alongside the FM provider’s own teams, we help ensure that specialist automation issues are identified and addressed appropriately before they develop into more significant operational problems.
Step 5: Helping FM providers deliver on their client’s commitments
Facilities management companies are ultimately accountable for the service they provide to their clients.
That means specialist maintenance partners need to understand more than just the equipment. They need to understand the importance of response times, communication, reporting and service delivery.
ConveyorCare works with FM providers to support their wider contractual commitments.
Our tailored approach can help support:
- Planned maintenance obligations
- System availability requirements
- Breakdown response targets
- Site safety requirements
- Maintenance reporting
- Asset management strategies
- SLA performance
- Long-term reliability and lifecycle planning
By providing specialist conveyor and automation support as part of the wider FM delivery model, we help our partners offer a more complete and capable maintenance service to their clients.
A flexible partnership built around your FM operation
No two facilities management contracts are the same.
Some sites require scheduled specialist maintenance. Others need comprehensive PPM programmes combined with reactive support and emergency callouts. Some FM providers require additional engineering resource during busy periods, while others need a trusted specialist partner to support automation systems across multiple locations.
ConveyorCare can adapt its service accordingly.
We work alongside facilities management companies to create support arrangements based on the needs of the contract, the site and the client.
Whether providing ongoing maintenance, supporting an existing engineering team or acting as a specialist escalation partner for complex automation issues, our focus remains the same: helping keep critical systems operating safely and reliably.
