Protect the equipment that keeps the office open

Many TSS clients are dental and orthodontic offices. MMS started there: air, vacuum, HVAC, gas, and water. The same idea applies to other shops we already support — including power-generation service companies — when compressors, HVAC, or generators cannot go down quietly.

The idea

Two types of equipment. One practice day.

  1. 1
    Electronic hardware and software — computers, network, internet, servers, printers, and practice management systems. TSS already manages this through Managed IT Support.
  2. 2
    Electromechanical, gas, and water systems — air compressor, vacuum, HVAC, nitrogen/air, and related utility equipment. MMS helps protect this group.

How it works

We install small sensors on key equipment to watch temperature, vibration, current, and pressure. If a reading starts to go outside the normal range, we notify the office so the issue can be addressed before it becomes a shutdown.

Benefits

Why offices look at MMS

  • Lower repair cost by fixing a problem before it becomes an emergency call
  • Reduce wasted energy and lower energy bills when a unit is running outside its normal range, or outside the office schedule
  • Keep the equipment available so the day stays on schedule

On cost

One unplanned compressor or HVAC failure can stop the office for hours and turn into an emergency repair plus a lost day. MMS is meant to see the problem developing so it can be handled before that happens. Sensors can also show a unit running outside its normal range, or outside office hours.

Maintenance types

Reactive, preventive, then predictive

A. Reactive

Wait until it fails, then repair it.

B. Preventive

Service on a calendar, whether it needs it or not.

C. Predictive

Service when the data shows a problem is developing.

What we typically monitor

Air compressor

Current, vibration, output pressure, temperature.

Vacuum

Current and vibration on pumps that cannot stop mid-day.

HVAC

Current, vibration, and line temperature trends.

Nitrogen / air

Temperature and pressure / level so tanks are not a surprise.

MMS can be added to existing TSS IT support, or used on its own. Same month-to-month approach as our IT services.
