Adding value to the end product
Working faster and more efficiently as a hydraulic engineer to deliver your work faster is always a hot topic . But that ’ s not the only way hydraulic engineers add value to the end product . Once a schematic leaves the engineer ’ s desk , it is implemented into the finished product that will go to work , throughout its lifecycle it will need to be serviced , maintained and repaired . Each of these stages will require downtime , repair time , work hours not to mention a team of different people working on it . Here also we as hydraulic engineers can influence how much time and money each of these situations will cost our customers .
VALUE ADDING HYDRAULIC DESIGN
We as hydraulic engineers have the power to add value even throughout the life of the end product . It all starts with a well designed hydraulic system that will enable optimization at every life stage of the product . Here is how to ensure that during maintenance , service and repair the hydraulic schematic serves as a tool to keep the process running smooth and minimizing the time and costs :
1 . CLEARLY IDENTIFY ALL COMPONENTS
This may be a no-brainer , but lack of clarity here could mean delay and additional research necessary . This is time wasted and we all know time is money . Of course to clearly identify components there needs to be “ one point of truth ” with definitions that your team can look up when needed .
2 . DIGITIZE YOUR SCHEMATIC
For easy collaboration even across geographies – are you still using paper , or emailing bulky files ? Have an easy digital file available for quick viewing and sharing that even in situations with weak internet connection your files are light and easily accessible .
3 . HAVE UPDATED DATA SHEETS FOR ALL COMPONENTS
Have updated data sheets for all components available with the schematic for easy reference .
We at PARO are hydraulic engineers ourselves , and with these challenges in mind we have created HydroSym Software for designing flawless hydraulic schematics . All of the above options are available with HydroSym Software . You can clearly identify all the components and their properties , label them with internal item codes and so on . PARO Library contains over 40,000 hydraulic components that you can just click and add into the schematic as you design , this way component specs are always available and up to date . As for the Data sheets ? Once you are finished designing , the entire project can be downloaded automatically into a neat project file containing all up to date data sheets for all components used .
Heads up sales teams . This is also an additional value sell . Not only is your product of high quality , works well and competitively priced , but the hydraulic design is executed in a way that will continue to add value to your customer ’ s business throughout its lifetime . www . paro . nl | info @ paro . nl
