Through leading edge science and technology, Geographe can design and manufacture enhanced products that customers can rely on for consistent, longer part life. This is because Geographe parts are exposed to a process of reliability engineering. This process is designed to radically extend the mean time between failures compared to the life of a standard part. Reliability engineering is practiced in all aspects of the Geographe manufacturing process including product development, testing, production, final operation and service. The company uses a variety of applications including design software, material selection and leading edge manufacturing technologies to exceed standards in reliability, performance and quality in many products and services.
Geographe has over 30 years in experience dealing with reliability engineering and has worked with many clients in the past to ensure that even under extreme operating conditions, our client’s equipment performs as consistently and reliably as possible.
In regard to mobile plant, Geographe take a focussed approach aligned with our core competencies of mechanical manufactured wear parts and consumables. We have analysed various mechanical applications where the design, in specific operating conditions, has been under engineered. Where this is the case Geographe can apply proven design enhancement principles, parts and where those parts are fitted have been re-engineered and upgraded to give much more consistent and predictable service performance. In many cases, extended life in upgraded parts is also achieved.
Geographe also apply verified design improvement principles when dealing with reliability issues in fixed plant. Clearances, tolerances, surface finish lubrication and accurate fitting and testing are some of the many techniques Geographe use to improve the consistent performance and reliability of plant and equipment on our client’s critical path.
Through partnerships with data analysts and reliability practitioners, Geographe is able to analyse maintenance data and engineer out excess reliability related costs through upgrade or removal of critical path performance weak points.
Accelerated stress testing can also be applied through our Finite Element Analysis systems to predict and design out modes of probable failure. Failure and performance decline rates can also be generated to model and determine changes to required service intervals.
