Cylinder testing from the office desk

Service and testing of hydraulic equipment is often done far from where the customer sits. Servi Group now offers our customers to participate in the tests from their own workplace, where they can sit and work, while also participating in the video transmission of the tests.

This was carried out on a cylinder overhaul for Aker Solution. The order consisted of a FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing), i.e. testing that is carried out by the supplier before the product or system is delivered back to the customer. In this case, it was pressure testing after the overhaul that was carried out. Prior to the test, the test requirements were reviewed with the customer.

Innovative thinking provides good customer experiences

Some customers want to physically participate in this test. Due to travel restrictions during the pandemic, Servi therefore set up equipment for live broadcasting so that the customer could witness the testing from his office. Both people from Equinor and Aker Solutions followed the test without being physically present.

Knut Beck Engebretsen, Project Manager in Aker Solutions, was impressed by the implementation. 

- Kudos to Knut Ingar & Co for a well-executed test with digital transmission - it was efficient to run all the cylinders of each type together and, not least, rational for us who could sit in our office to follow along - at the same time that during waiting periods we could use time for other things
says Engebretsen. 

Servi has a full focus on digitization and streamlining processes - both internally and with customers. Video transmission of tests saves our customers both time and money, as well as helping to reduce unnecessary emissions related to travel. Good for the customer, good for us and the environment.
