01Overview
What preventative maintenance is for
What it is
Preventative maintenance is work planned on a schedule and done before a fault stops the line.
Why it matters
An unplanned stop halts the line at a time nobody chose, and planned work moves that time to a window the plant sets.
How ARS does it
Preventative maintenance is one of the seven ARS service areas, next to programming for eight robot platforms and ongoing support.
Our service offerings also include workforce training, mentoring, and ongoing support to help clients maximize ROI and sustain continuous improvement.

Common questions
Which robot platforms does ARS program?
ARS programs FANUC, ABB, KUKA, MOTOMAN, KAWASAKI, Hyundai, UR and NACHI robots.
How often should a robot get preventative maintenance?
Follow the robot maker's schedule, which is usually based on hours of operation. Heavy duty cycles can need shorter intervals.
