Niscam – Control and Automation Management Contract (CAMC) is a flexible agreement that is tailored to the individual needs of your business. It can be provided to cover parts only, Labour only or both. The main benefits of a CAMC can be summed up simply as: Increased Uptime, and Decreased Costs.

Increased Uptime:

Fortunately, over recent years, the overall reliability of control systems has increased. The downside to this is that the level of technical experience required to diagnose and maintain automation products has also increased due to the increased complexity of the technology. As the frequency of breakdown is reduced, so too is the day to day experience within the ‘On Site’ support.

This inexperience can lead to a possible lack of confidence, which in turn often results in a slow diagnosis of a problem or even cause further damage due to an incorrect diagnosis!

Because our Service Engineers are dealing with these faults 24/7, their technical experience and knowledge is consistently maintained, which ensures that you are back up and running in the quickest time possible.

Decreased Cost:

Having considerable amounts of capital ‘tied up’ in a full suite of automation spares (just in case you need them!) is becoming increasingly difficult to justify. If your plant is less than new, some of its components could now be considered ‘obsolete’ by the manufacturer. The alternative to a very expensive upgrade means that you are forced to pay a premium for a part that you might never use!

If you factor in the additional costs of spares management, such as asset depreciation, physical deterioration, management overheads, audit costs etc, it is easy to see the financial benefits of outsourcing this burdon to someone else.

If you agree a ‘Bonded Stock Contract’ with Niscam, we will even buy your spares stock off you and guarantee their availability to you immediately should you need them. That way, you still enjoy the comfort of having a complete spares profile but only having to pay for what you need, when you need it. This makes far more financial sense than paying for the privilege of keeping them on a shelf!
