CORE
Total System Care
With the Core package, we are responsible for the core maintenance of your dilution refrigerator measurement systems. You can focus your resources on your work and let us provide the optimal operation of the system for users. With the Core package, system uptime remains as high as possible, and the system’s longevity can be ensured.
One service visit per year is included in the Core package. The visit includes a system health check, with reporting, periodic maintenance of the system and operational training given to users. The visit is scheduled 10 weeks in advance.
In the Core package, customers receive technical support by email, with 1 business day response time.
In the Core package, an annual system health check is included. This includes analyzing the visual, mechanical, operational, and electrical health of a system. During the health check, our engineer performs a cooldown and warm-up cycle on the system while logging system performance.
The system performance logs are analyzed by our experts to predict potential future failures, and to optimize system performance. We provide recommendations for measures to improve performance and longevity. This facilitates early intervention and preventative actions to reduce potential issues.
By performing the system health check, we ensure that the system functions at the best performance level possible, maximize system uptime, and ensure that system lifetime is not threatened by any unobserved issues.
During the annual service visit, periodic maintenance is carried out on the system. This is performed in accordance with the periodic maintenance plan outlined in the user manual of the system.
The system maintenance program and planning is managed by the Bluefors technical specialist team. Results from the System Health Check are taken into account when planning the maintenance program.
Any parts required for the periodic maintenance are included in the service.
With the Core package, operational training is provided to users of the systems during the annual service visit.
In the operational training, any new users of the systems receive comparable training in system operation to that provided during the original system installation.
The Core package provides customers access to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) spare parts, which are parts designed for Bluefors systems. Using these spare parts ensures that system performance remains high and is not affected by sub-optimal parts.
Spare parts are provided from Bluefors’ Helsinki headquarters. For North American Total System Care customers, spare parts are stocked at our facility in Syracuse, New York.
