Root-Cause Analysis via in-house detailed inspection, testing and analysis, post-failure.

Equipment and system failures, while inconvenient, potentially hazardous, and usually costly; typically contain a plethora of information which can be used to assist in avoiding or mitigating the effects of future failures.

Scientific Systems can provide detailed inspection, testing and analysis of failed systems or components across any of its practice disciplines to establish root-cause (where feasible). In addition, we can also provide guidance for possible modifications to help mitigate future failures, or provide guidance in developing ongoing monitoring to give warning of an impending failure, which can assist with the mitigation of  the consequences of the failure.  

Scientific Systems is also able to provide detailed analysis of machinery, equipment and devices impacted by disaster events and other perils. This is particularly useful where commercial arrangements such as warranty or insurance arrangements apply. For example being able to differentiate between lightning strike and power supply effects (power surge) or differentiating between gross failure and wear-and-tear are usually of highly significant importance in such instances of commercial arrangements and liability.

From niche, high-value laboratory instruments and legacy equipment, to large industrial manufacturing machines and medical devices, Scientific Systems, its principals and affiliates have considerable experience in providing inspection, testing, analysis, repair & remediation, and future mitigation guidance across a broad range of industries and applications.
