Univeyor Service Management (USM)
– a reliable investment


We are securing an increasing number of USM agreements, with the growth coming from two areas. Existing customers, who in the past have either had a hotline agreement or no agreement, have chosen to place the responsibility for maintenance solely with Univeyor. New customers are also opting for a USM agreement from start – as part of the whole investment.

Oticon extend service agreement
In January 2007 one of our long established customers, the hearing aid manufacturer Oticon, entered into a 3-year USM agreement with Univeyor. 6 years ago, Oticon automated their operation with a Univeyor miniload store and picking system with 2 cranes and 3 pick stations. Oticon has until now only had a hotline agreement with Univeyor along with regular service visits.
   
 
  Carsten Hedemann, Manager Outbound Logistics
at Oticon, says:

We have entered in a USM agreement with Univeyor for several reasons. Firstly, it is an investment in the complete reliability of the system, which also offers a high availability of vital spare parts. Secondly, it is a proactive measure to prevent wear and tear and of course breakdowns. Furthermore, this means that our own resources are now being used elsewhere within the business so that we can continue the manufacture of hearing aids. It also gives us peace-of-mind knowing the exact level of costs for any repairs or maintenance in the future.
