Vertiv delivers a standardized thermal preventive maintenance program to service 39 facilities in 23 states, reducing the risk of system failure while streamlining healthcare IT management and cutting costs.
Background
A large, diversified health and well-being company maintains a network of national pharmaceutical compounding operations. These operations pose a unique challenge of ensuring the air and temperature are tightly managed to protect the integrity of the cleanroom environment. On top of that, incremental growth and a series of acquisitions resulted in a mix of HVAC equipment serviced by various suppliers. Looking to streamline processes and minimize risk, the company needed a reliable approach to maintaining its cooling equipment in these critical environments.
Results
- Dramatically reduced risk of thermal system failure and temperature fluctuations that could lead to potential contamination of sterile environments
- Standardized service across 39 locations, streamlining workflow, increasing efficiencies, lowering costs, improving access to needed parts, and saving time and headaches
- Established a comprehensive equipment inventory to facilitate strategic lifecycle planning and budgeting
- Provided a long-term plan for equipment standardization across facilities, which will lead to even greater reliability and cost efficiencies
