Study confirms preventive maintenance program for CSafe RKNs is instrumental in preserving high-quality operational performance, regardless of container age.
Summary
Maintenance of mechanical systems is critical for consistent operational performance. This is understood across all industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to oil and chemical manufacturing. Cold chain transportation is no different, and CSafe understood this, and thus developed and deployed a robust Preventive Maintenance Rebuild (PMR) program before launching its CSafe RKN active container. This white paper is an updated version of an earlier study titled, “Maintenance of Active ULD’s and It’s Positive Impact on Performance and Longevity”.
The earlier paper examined the hypothesis that all CSafe active containers operate at a consistent and optimal performance level, regardless of age, as result of the PMR program. In the original study, a random sampling of containers that shipped together on a multi-container lease, performed almost identically.
To reconfirm the same hypothesis, this new study recruited the oldest container from the original study and compared it to a new random sampling of containers shipped together on another multi-container lease. Again, the data collected from the new selection of containers demonstrated virtually identical operational performance across each of the containers utilized.
