The Equipment Life Cycle

EquipNet Engineers understand the process and equipment lifecycle. Life science companies typically describe this lifecycle as being a progression from concept to design to construction to installation to operation to decommission. Some equipment may go through this lifecycle two or more times. EquipNet’s Engineering professionals will work with you at each stage to optimize your capital expenditures, shorten your schedules, and to reduce risks.

EquipNet Engineeers have spent their professional lives working for and with leading global companies in the biotech, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. These men and women have expanded production lines, optimized systems, modified processes, and built Greenfield facilities. EquipNet Engineers understand the pressures and pitfalls of projects and Engineering, construction, commissioning and validation processes.

How it Works, Part I

Our Engineers and project managers will work with you to identify pre-owned equipment that meets your process needs for a substantial cost and schedule savings over purchasing new equipment. When our professional Engineers refurbish your equipment by installing or refitting automation systems, modifying piping, or making other modifications, it will be indistinguishable from new equipment and, in some cases, even better. Pre-owned equipment that comes with well-documented maintenance logs and validation records may represent a lower compliance risk than new equipment because it has a history that includes successful commissioning and validated operation. It’s tried and true

How it Works, Part II

New equipment delivery often appears on a project schedule’s critical path. In other words, it can throw a wrench into the works. EquipNet Engineers can work with you to eliminate or substantially reduce equipment’s impact on schedule. In addition, our services can reduce installation, commissioning and qualification time to provide further project savings.

How it Works, Part III

EquipNet Engineers work with our clients to understand their process needs. If you have already identified the necessary specifications, we work with you to find equipment in our inventory that most closely resembles what you’re looking for. Once that equipment is identified, then we develop a proposal to close the gap between the current status of the equipment and your specific needs. If refurbishing is required, we will provide the high purity piping, automation, electrical, mechanical, process or other specialists to develop a project plan. With your approval, EquipNet refurbishes the equipment and develops acceptance criteria for a hosted File Allocation Table (FAT). In other words, we will do what it takes to turn that equipment into exactly what you need.
