Why End-to-End Lifecycle Services Are Essential for Automation ROI

In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, automation systems are very large investments.  They are important to your day-to-day operations and you rely on their efficiency to honor all your business obligations.  At Duravant, we recognize that having a real return on investment comes from support that extends well beyond the final sale.

We understand the importance of that reliable support, through the full lifecycle of equipment. That’s exactly what Duravant Lifecycle Services provides, because maximizing uptime and productivity demands an efficient, supportive end-to-end aftermarket strategy.

1. Sustained Uptime through Proactive Parts & Service

When machines aren’t working, this costs production, profit, and worse yet, brand reputation. With Duravant Lifecycle Services, your operations will benefit from:

• A global network that ensures spare parts, part kits, and consumables are available where and when needed. This will aid in reducing lead times and inventory overhead.
• Repair and refurbishment services that extend the life of key components while controlling cost.
• Rapid-response field service and technical support to minimize disruptions, backed by deep system expertise.

2. Optimized Productivity & Performance

Automation ROI peaks when machines perform at their best, not just at on the first day but consistently and efficiently as time goes on.

• Preventive maintenance programs ensure machines stay tuned and efficient.
• Performance audits, service plans, and training empower your teams to get more from equipment by reducing waste, enhancing throughput, and refining workflows.
• Upgrades and retrofits future‑proof your investment, leveraging emerging automation technologies and adapting to evolving production needs.

3. Connectivity: Data-Driven Decisions

Today’s manufacturing is all about adapting to new technology and working smarter.  That’s why Duravant Lifecycle Services adds digital intelligence and operational success through the following:

• Remote monitoring and support, which enables expert diagnostics and faster root‑cause analysis even if you are located across the globe.
• Duravant ONSIGHT™ which is a secure IIoT platform that delivers real‑time data, alerts, and performance reports to proactively manage assets resolving issues and preventing problems before they escalate.

4. Global Scale, Local Excellence
