Real numbers from our workshop records — repair jobs for KwaZulu-Natal customers since 2014.

4PP Power Panels — screens, touch layers, backlights and motherboards repaired, not replaced.

8BVI inverter, 8BVP supply and 8B modules for multi-axis lines.
8LSA / 8LCC servo motors and ACOPOSinverter drives — tested against a real load, not just spun up.
X20 PLC modules, Siemens, ABB, Allen-Bradley, Schneider, Danfoss VFDs and switch-mode supplies from every brand on our bench.

Being in Johannesburg does not slow this down — the courier legs are overnight, and your unit goes onto the bench the day it lands.
A photo on WhatsApp to 072 483 0132 is enough to start. Tell us what the machine was doing when it failed.

On the bench the day it lands. Fault found and a fixed written quote sent, usually within 24–72 hours.
No surprises. The quote is the price.
Component-level repair, then run under load on our bench to prove it holds up in service.
Returned to your plant with a test report and a 3–6 month warranty on the repair.
We will tell you honestly whether a repair can make it in time, or whether an exchange unit is your faster option — we hold spares for obsolete ranges most suppliers have dropped.

580+ repair jobs for KwaZulu-Natal plants since 2014 — sugar, paper, packaging, food & beverage and more.

Free inspection and a written quote before any work starts. If we cannot fix it, you pay nothing.

A beverages producer experienced a failure on a critical production line over a weekend. Technical support was initially provided telephonically, with physical repair intervention arranged two days later, following acceptance of the repair quotation. Due to the urgency of the breakdown, express logistics were required to move the necessary equipment to Cape Town. Production resumed four days after the failure.
The line runs approximately 180 pallets per 12-hour shift — about 15 pallets per hour. Ninety-six hours of unavailable capacity represents roughly 1,440 pallets of potential production. Even at a conservative contribution of R1,000 per pallet, the exposure is approximately R1.44 million against a direct repair cost of R36,957.80 — about 39 times the repair expenditure. At R2,000 per pallet, the exposure approaches R2.88 million, or 78 times.
Key finding: the financial significance of a critical automation component is not determined by its purchase price. A repair of under R37,000 restored a production asset whose prolonged unavailability could have exposed millions of rand in production value. Keep critical spares, obsolete components and a rapid-response repair partner within reach.
