Problem
Heavy industries often rely on large, custom-built components in their production equipment. When these components fail or become obsolete, long lead times for replacements can result in significant downtime and financial losses. Replacing entire installations due to the unavailability of specific parts further exacerbates these issues, leading to high storage and logistical costs.
Solution
Guaranteed offers on-demand repair and rebuilding services for large metal parts, leveraging wire & arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) to address obsolescence and reduce downtime. The company utilizes advanced simulation, monitoring, and inspection tools to ensure first-time-right production and guaranteed performance. By repairing and rebuilding components, Guaranteed reduces lead times, eliminates storage costs, and minimizes the need for complete system replacements. Their approach allows for performance optimization of existing components and enables the creation of tailor-made clamping tools for fast leak prevention.
Target Audience
Guaranteed serves asset-intensive industries such as steel, railway, aerospace, petrochemical, oil & gas, ports & maritime, mining, and energy utilities that require rapid repair or replacement of large, custom metal components.
