The challenge
Not only do facility management companies often employ dozens or even hundreds of service engineers. For the many different measuring tasks involved in facility management, numerous instruments are also required, and these are purchased from a wide range of manufacturers. When it comes to managing the test equipment, the procurement, maintenance and calibration of the technical instruments entails a huge amount of organization. The many different operating and software concepts also make it difficult for service engineers to handle the instruments. The measurement applications therefore take longer. Inexperienced or less qualified employees are not capable of interpreting the readings correctly or of taking the requisite measures. Moreover, measuring instruments are often not available at all because they have just been sent in for calibration, or the recorded data is stored on different platforms and needs to be merged, which is a laborious procedure. The required documentation takes a lot of time and entails avoidable costs.
The solution
Testo offers you a tailor-made complete package for technical facility management – digital measuring instruments, innovative software and application-specific apps for the documentation and digital storage of recorded data. You no longer need to spend a lot of time selecting and purchasing measuring instruments from different manufacturers. At Testo, you can get a wide range of instruments which no other measurement technology manufacturer can offer you, all from one provider. We offer reliable, digital measuring instruments for the optimization of ventilation systems, for checking ventilation and heating systems, for the efficient adjustment of refrigeration and air conditioning systems, for the maintenance of electrical installations, for the accurate detection of thermal bridges and weak spots in buildings and also for the reliable identification of the causes of mould. Since Testo measuring instruments can cover multiple application areas, the service engineer can work more efficiently because not only do the instruments have an app connection, they also feature similar intuitive operation. This reduces the time needed to train new employees and also reduces the error rate.
Since lots of instruments have wireless sensors, the readings can be ascertained easily and reliably. The measurement results can be determined quickly and easily and sent directly to the customer or the head office in the form of reports, including digital images and commentary. This saves a lot of time working on site: With Testo’s measurement solutions, a measurement job that previously took over an hour can be completed in less than 45 minutes. You can also completely rely on Testo when it comes to managing your test equipment. Testo uses PRIMAS, an integral test equipment management system, to handle the calibration of your technology, documentation management, deadline monitoring of calibration and maintenance due dates as well as logistics and organization. Customized scheduling of returns when engineers are on holidays and 24-hour replacement deliveries in the event of unforeseen repairs increase the
availability of the equipment to almost 100 %.
