Maintenance Engineering
Maintenance engineering is a key discipline which aims to ensure that equipment, systems and infrastructures operate properly, and remain available, reliable and efficient throughout their lifecycle.
It involves the identification of necessary repairs, as well as the technical documentation, planning, organization and execution of the resulting maintenance activities.
Our mission
At ATEXIS, we are committed to helping our customers prepare for the future of Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) and RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety) activities.
Our goals are to:
- Maximize the availability of complex systems
- Minimize downtime
- Reduce failures
- Optimize logistics flows and maintenance costs
Our maintenance engineers and technicians continually develop tools and apply the latest maintenance planning and optimization methodologies — including preventive, condition-based and predictive maintenance, in compliance with current standards (S1000D, S2000M, S3000L, etc.).
Our activities
ATEXIS delivers tailor-made solutions across a wide range of activities, including Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) studies.
Using Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) methods, we define and plan activities to optimize operations.
By working closely with our customers throughout the development and production phases of their products, we help increase system uptime while limiting associated costs.
Our added value at ATEXIS is based on several key pillars:
- Deployment of outsourced service centers.
- Multi-system expertise: mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, embedded electronics and software.
- International presence.
- A dedicated team of experts.
- Experience working with industry leaders.
Joining ATEXIS means becoming part of a team of engineers specialized in ILS and Dependability, managing complete programs and providing strong technical and managerial value to build tomorrow’s solutions.
Integrated Logistics Support (ILS)
Our objective: optimize the lifecycle of complex systems in demanding environments by integrating all aspects related to maintenance, usage and total cost — right from the design phase.
- Design and optimization of logistics trees, maintenance plans and spare parts lists.
- Analysis of repair levels and maintenance strategies.
- Life-cycle and operational maintenance cost analysis.
- Technical documentation: maintenance manuals, spare parts catalogs, installation guides, user manuals, illustrations, etc.
- Expertise in documentation standards (S1000D, S2000M, DITA, DocBook).
- Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS).
- Obsolescence management.
Operational Reliability (RAMS activities)
- Systems analysis: Preliminary Risk Analysis (PRA), Functional Analysis, Safety Plans, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA).
- Predictive reliability (RAMS): assessment of reliability, availability, maintainability and safety.
- Calculation models: FMD, Functional Reliability Diagrams.
- Safety processes: functional analysis, integration and simulation testing and safety reviews.
