Life-cycle support (LCS) maximises equipment uptime and therefore the capacity to earn back the investment in return for the lowest possible costs of ownership.
This starts in the sales, specification and design stages, with reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) as vital components of every system. Production, test stage and commissioning under Quality Management control (QM) make further contributions.
Once in operation, the uptime of the equipment depends heavily on operator skills, how easily errors are detected, the right maintenance and the logistics for spare parts. IHC D&A will provide every measure to enhance the uptime of vessels, equipped with its products. For that purpose, all skills, ranging from (among others) consulting, manufacturing and commissioning, to research and development, are at its customer's disposal.

Electronic systems regularly require upgrades. Increasingly, software upgrades take place online using the IHC Connect protected data infrastructure. Hardware upgrades usually involve dedicated operations, an area where IHC Drives & Automation's customers fully can benefit from the proven technology of other IHC Merwede units.
LCS aims to maximise the return on investment, sustainable operations, emission control and innovations for IHC D&A's customers. Special products and services in this field are available or can be developed in close cooperation with customers' requirements. The LCS team is ready to assist customers 24/7.
