WSC Calendar: Post-Harvest Equipment Inspection report and review meeting: quarter 1. Equipment Repairs and Improvements: quarter 2 and 3 Pre-Harvest Equipment inspection: quarter 3. Harvest: Emergency service, assist local retailers in service.quarter 4. Inspection description: Each piece of equipment in the program has a WSC proprietary procedure. Each procedure contains different check points specific to the OEM's recommendations and our empirical data. The equipment specific procedures contain but are not limited to the two generic categories below. Electrical Inspection: Trained technicians follow the path of electron flow through conductors, control wiring and circuitry to drive motors. Inspection of electrical enclosures, control boxes, seals and gaskets are also included in the electrical inspection. The conclusion of the electrical inspection is a meg-ohm test conducted to determine the health and balance of internal motor windings. Inside of the motor; the energy converts from electron flow to magnetic energy which is where the mechanical inspection begins. Mechanical Inspection: Technicians follow the path of physical energy as it is generated in the motor winding and transferred to the motor shaft. There, we follow the path of mechanical energy through bearings, as it is transferred to chains, belts or gear boxes. Condition and adjustment of all power transmission components are inspected and recorded paying special attention to vibration and temperature. Our practical and proprietary inspecting methods have proven to be thorough and effective over a broad range of wine production equipment; regardless of its type or age. Communication to client: The Equipment Management Report will communicate the information gathered during the inspections and recommendations will be made if the equipment does not meet WSC equipment guidelines for performance or reliability. WSC also works with local retailers to identify equipment which may have been identified by the OEM to require upgrades or modifications. |

Introducing..."The Machine Health" page.

We have separated the machinery into
the following categories:
Each category is electronically rated on a
scale of 1-10 (based on category specific
checkpoints) during the equipment
inspection and maintenance. The ratings
are placed on the graph and an "OVER ALL
MACHINE" rating is an average of each of
the categories.
Compare your ratings to the key on the
left of the graph to determine which
health rating your equipment receives.
Images (if they apply) are connected to notes
in the right hand column below Rating.

Equipment Management Program receives
an "Machine Health" page which is
followed up by one or more "Supporting
Images" pages where prior notes are
supported by images to clearly
communicate the equipment health
level. Images are numbered and match with
category notes in the "Machine Health" page.
This format repeats for all pieces of equipment
enrolled in the program.
We believe we have identified a common
format which is flexible and relatively easy to
read which has been adapted to all winery
production equipment.
