Robinson Industries manufacture the popular range of the versatile Super Tub that complement the Fisher and Paykel washing machines and dryers, the Robinhood rangehood units and fold-away ironing centres as well as a number of other products. Their production equipment must handle this wide variety of products and it is critical to keep breakdowns to a minimum and quality must be high.

Andrew Tunley, Maintenance Manager for Robinson's explains. "We use a number of different tools for different jobs and it is important that each piece of equipment will operate when we need it to even if it has not been used for some time. An efficient routine maintenance schedule is important for us to be able to keep things working smoothly."

"Workmate has proven to be exactly the tool that we need to do this work. It is a versatile system that is very easy to operate and was working for us virtually straight away." "The results speak for themselves - Breakdowns have been dramatically reduced and we now have an asset information resource database that takes the stress out of managing the plant and equipment."

Jason Parshotam, Production Manager for Robinson's explains the benefits from his perspective. "In a very short space of time Workmate has become an essential part of our operation. It is a neat software tool that has given us the ability to perform essential tasks on time and the confidence to maintain a tight production schedule. From a production perspective Workmate lets us know exactly what maintenance work must be done so we can plan for it well in advance and the reduction in breakdowns has made my job much easier." "It really is outstanding what a difference such a simple tool can make to our maintenance and production environment."
