Each contract is tailored to your equipment, its criticality, your operational constraints, and your technical support needs.
An industrial maintenance contract is an agreement between a service provider and a company that specifies the equipment covered, the maintenance and inspection procedures, their frequency, the responsibilities of each party, and the terms of service.
It helps structure a process for failure prevention and preventive maintenance to:
Scheduled maintenance allows organizations to shift from a “repair after failure” approach to a proactive strategy based on the condition and criticality of equipment.
In every industrial sector, measuring instruments play a central role in monitoring, controlling, and regulating industrial processes.
An incorrect measurement can lead to improper process control, a decline in quality, excessive energy consumption, a false alarm, or, in some situations, a production shutdown.
Maintenance and instrumentation managers must ensure the availability of their equipment while managing their technical resources and budgets.
Industrial sensors and e analysers s are subject to mechanical, thermal, chemical, and environmental stresses that can gradually affect their performance.
A measurement problem can result from wear and tear on an electronic component, a diaphragm, a connection, a leak, contamination, or an incorrect configuration.
Regular inspections help detect certain abnormalities before they cause a breakdown or significant deterioration in the process.
An instrument's accuracy may change due to aging, operating conditions, or repeated use.
Verification and calibration procedures help identify measurement discrepancies and determine whether the instrument remains suitable for its intended use.
Reliable measurements are essential for properly controlling a process, maintaining product quality, and making sound operational decisions.
Emergency repairs, unexpected repairs, travel expenses, and equipment downtime can result in significant costs.
A contract makes it possible to organize service calls, anticipate the need for supplies, and plan operations that require the facility to be shut down or made available.
A structured preventive maintenance program makes it easier to forecast expenses and reduces reliance on unplanned corrective actions.
Manufacturers sometimes operate equipment that has been in place for many years, the maintenance of which requires specialized knowledge.
Technological advancements, staff turnover, and the obsolescence of certain components can complicate maintenance work.
Hiring a professional who specializes in industrial instrumentation provides access to additional expertise for diagnosing, repairing, inspecting, or replacing equipment.
Companies are sometimes required to demonstrate proficiency in the use of their instruments as part of their quality systems, internal procedures, or regulatory requirements.
Maintenance reports, calibration certificates, and inspection reports are useful tools for traceability.
A maintenance contract makes it easier to organize and document inspections, without replacing the operator’s regulatory responsibilities.
Industrial measuring instruments continuously monitor the parameters essential to the operation of facilities.
Fuji Electric offers maintenance, calibration, inspection, and repair services tailored to the measurement technologies and specific requirements of each application.
These services can be provided as one-time services or as part of periodic maintenance contracts, based on a program tailored to the management of instrument fleets.
Maintenance requirements vary depending on the measurement principle, operating conditions, and the criticality of the equipment.
| Industrial Instruments | Main Possible Operations |
|---|---|
| Pressure Sensors and Transmitters | Inspection, zero check, range check, calibration, and diagnostics; connection checks, pulse lines, configuration, and measurement |
| Industrial Flow Meters | Verification of operation, settings, output signal, and measurement consistency |
| Level measurement instruments | Verification of configuration, assembly, connections, and measurement response |
| Temperature Probes and Transmitters | Verification of the measurement chain, wiring, and metrological performance |
| HART-Enabled Instruments | Reading diagnostics, verifying settings, and checking communications |
The exact scope of services depends on the equipment specifications, the available testing resources, and the conditions under which the work is performed.
An industrial facility may include several dozen or hundreds of measuring instruments distributed across various processes.
Their technological diversity, age, and operating conditions make maintenance management more complex.
A periodic maintenance program makes it possible to organize the monitoring of installed equipment, prioritize maintenance tasks based on the criticality of the instruments, and identify the specific maintenance needs of each production unit.
The first step is to have a thorough understanding of the equipment in question.
An inventory may include, among other things, part numbers, serial numbers, technologies, locations, measurement ranges, verification dates, and service histories.
Not all instruments present the same operational challenges.
A transmitter used for a secondary display does not necessarily require the same level of monitoring as an instrument that is essential for controlling a critical stage of production.
The analysis may take into account the impact of a failure on safety, quality, system availability, and operating costs.
The maintenance program specifies the tasks to be performed, their frequency, the necessary resources, and the conditions for accessing the equipment.
It can be adapted to production downtime, the workload of maintenance crews, and operational constraints.
The history of calibrations, repairs, and maintenance allows us to identify instruments with recurring defects or abnormal drifts.
This information helps adjust maintenance schedules and plan for replacements.
As equipment ages, technology evolves, and the availability of parts changes, certain repairs may become difficult or economically unfeasible.
Asset tracking makes it possible to identify equipment that needs to be monitored and, when necessary, to plan for its replacement.
Instrument lifecycle management aims to ensure their availability and reliability while controlling resources and maintenance costs.
Even with a preventive maintenance program, some instruments may malfunction and require corrective action.
Fuji Electric offers diagnostic and repair services for its industrial measuring instruments.
Depending on the nature of the defect, the type of instrument, and the technical resources required, repairs can be performed on-site or in the workshop.
These operations may include identifying the malfunction, replacing components, performing repairs, and conducting the necessary checks before the equipment is put back into service.
A technical assessment helps determine whether repair is appropriate or whether replacing the instrument is a better option.
Gas analysis systems are used to monitor industrial processes, particularly in combustion facilities, industrial boilers, and air emissions monitoring systems.
These systems are used, in particular, in industrial combustion and heating facilities, where emissions monitoring helps track environmental performance.
Their proper functioning depends not only onanalyser but also on the equipment used for sample collection, transport, and packaging.
Maintenance of gas analysis systems must cover the entire measurement chain in order to ensure the quality of the results.
Drawing on its expertise in the design of gas analysis systems and gasanalysers cabinets, Fuji Electric offers maintenance services tailored to the operating conditions of the facilities.

A failure in the analysis system may disrupt emissions monitoring, result in the unavailability of measurements, or require corrective action.
The P2d troubleshooting option supplements the preventive maintenance program by providing assistance in the event of a malfunction.
Our technicians investigate the cause of malfunctions, identify the point of failure, and perform the services specified in the contract.
When immediate repair is not possible, they may propose interim measures appropriate to the situation.
The P2d option provides predefined troubleshooting procedures to supplement scheduled maintenance visits.
The exact terms of coverage, exclusions, service calls, and covered parts are specified in the contract.
Monthly Preventive Maintenance (P2m)
The P2m plan includes one visit per month to perform the inspection and maintenance tasks specified in the contract, in addition to the annual maintenance visits.
It can be adapted for use in systems subject to demanding operating conditions, particularly when there is significant fouling or when close monitoring is required.
The P2t plan includes one visit per quarter, in addition to the annual inspections.
It allows for regular monitoring of equipment when operating conditions do not require a monthly inspection.
The choice between P2, P2m, and P2t must take into account the system's criticality, its operational history, and the operations already performed by the site teams.
Automated systems for measuring air emissions may be subject to specific quality control and quality assurance requirements.
The NF EN 14181 standard defines, among other things, the QAL2, QAL3, and AST procedures when applicable to the installation.
The QAL2 procedure is used to establish a calibration function and to evaluate the variability of the results from the automatic measurement system.
It is based on comparisons between the automatic measurement system (AMS) and the standardized reference methods (SRM) carried out under the conditions specified by the applicable requirements.
The AST, or Annual Surveillance Test, is designed, among other things, to verify that the system’s calibration function and metrological performance remain valid.
The QAL3 procedure involves the regular monitoring of the drift and accuracy of the automatic measurement system.
It relies on inspection procedures and monitoring methods tailored to the equipment.
Fuji Electric technicians can assist with inspection operations in coordination with the organization conducting the inspection.
This assistance may include:
QAL2/AST maintenance and support help keep the system in working order, but do not replace the regulatory tests conducted by the relevant authorities.
Industrial facilities subject to continuous emissions monitoring must have usable measurement data in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
A failure in data collection, packaging, oranalyser may affect the availability and quality of this data.
Maintenance operations help keep systems in good working order and facilitate preparation for inspections.
They can also support the quality of the information used for environmental reports, particularly GEREP when such a report applies to the facility.
Regular maintenance is an important part of managing the monitoring system, although it does not, on its own, guarantee the facility’s regulatory compliance.
The contract must be selected based on the equipment involved, the criticality of the measurements, and operational constraints.
