Industrial maintenance is designed to capitalise on the potential of vehicles and components that have reached their mid-service life. It is carried out in our production plants in France or at our customers’ premises, where we set up a repair chain service.

The military vehicles life cycle is made of 4 stages :

• Operational maintenance 
• Industrial maintenance
• Second phase of operational maintenance
• Version upgrade

4 solutions of industrial maintenance

• Deep Curative Maintenance
• Total Renovation
• Renovation of repairable parts or repairable replacements
• Modernization kits

DEEP CURATIVE MAINTENANCE

Restoring operational readiness through “just as required” repairs.

TAILOR-MADE PRODUCTION LINES :

1. Diagnosis, disassembly, with dynamic tests: driveline, safety components, steering, powertrain. Personalized quotation on a fixed price basis

2. Welding: floors, sheet metal, front facades, ...

3. Painting: paint retouching, partial/total painting, spare parts painting

4. Mounting: trains, electrical circuits, hydraulics, steering, pneumatics, powertrain, dashboard

5. Dynamic tests: parallelism, body height, braking, rolling test, …

6. Vehicle check: receipt made with the customer

COMPLEMENTARY SERVICES :

• Technical control activities: processing of obsolescence and technical facts
• Sampling and delivery of vehicles from their regiment of assignment
• Spare parts samples

MORE THAN 15 YEARS OF EXPERTISE

In the service of conducting large-scale repair programs (technical mastery, technical team, design office, purchasing, logistics, quality, ...):

• 180 VAB/year
• 200 TRM2000/year
• 40 VLRA/year
• 150 GBC180/year
• 20 TRM10000/year

A current installed capacity of more than 1000 refurbished vehicles
per year. Possibility to rapidly inscrease this capacity of the implementation of extensions to our production lines.

 

OUR STRENGTHS

• The upstream implementation of an obsolescence prevention and management plan
• Dedicated teams and production lines for each project
• Our know-how at the service of Export projects
• An ability to adapt and organize our renovation lines to meet the cost/quality/ delivery challenges
• Optimized lead times for any new production line on posts, resources mobilized and logistics (less than one year)
• The use of new technologies: tablets, production monitoring screens, connected glasses, digital documentary resources,...
• An omnipresent quality approach in the service of continuous improvement (5S methods, QRQC, ...)

TOTAL RENOVATION

Contrary to deep curative maintenance, the operations carried out on the renovation line are defined with regard to the applicable configuration. This renovation therefore guarantees the conformity of the operations carried out with respect to the physical and functional requirements as described through the applicable configuration. The vehicles thus regain significant potential and a longer life span.

RENOVATION OF REPAIRABLE PARTS OR REPAIRABLE REPLACEMENTS

• Engines
• Gearbox
