Machines verification and process assessment

One of the most challenging elements is the verification and maintenance of production processes to ensure they are fully safe throughout the product's lifecycle. Continuous verification is essential because even seemingly minor changes in the process or machine design can have critical significance. This can undermine all efforts and expose the company to enormous costs, loss of reputation, and future business loss.

For machines being built, it is common practice to use substitute materials even in the same device models. This can result in the generation of static charge or poor dissipation, posing a direct threat to the product.

Both machine manufacturers and users should ensure that the right materials are used where they are necessary. Often, solutions are found that, apart from generating costs, do not affect the safety level.

Equally important is the selection of process steps, as adding or removing a step often changes the safety level. This is critical because for mass-produced items, an error will be replicated, and the source analysis will be costly.
