What are industrial services?

What does the concept of “industrial services” include? 

This is a whole range of services, consisting of a number of research, development, physical, informational, training and other activities aimed at bringing the organization to an uninterrupted operating mode, maintaining it in working functional condition, modernizing, ensuring recycling and disposal of equipment, etc.

The purpose of industrial services is to work to optimize the operation of industrial products and increase the attractiveness of their use for the buyer.

Industrial companies have always been involved in providing industrial services. Issues such as commissioning or maintenance are inherent obligations that accompany numerous industrial products. However, today the provision of industrial services is a separate profitable niche for numerous industries.

Classification of industrial services 

Industrial services are widely used in various fields and industries. They can be implemented in the form of design services, equipment supply, consulting, support, etc. For more efficient provision of services, good classification is necessary.

This kind of services can be divided into categories according to such criteria as the stages of the enterprise’s activity, belonging to a certain field of activity, and the type of equipment used.

A classification of services based on product categories may look like this: machine manufacturing, machine installation, spare parts supply, maintenance support and warranty service. If we differentiate them into categories based on their application, then this kind of division is appropriate: production of food products, medicines, products for household use, etc.

Other services such as consulting, management and software development can be classified according to their related functions and applications. For example, consulting can be divided into marketing, financial, legal, etc.

Thanks to classification, a more effective understanding and use of the services provided is possible. This allows target organizations and users to easily identify the service they need and understand its application and benefits.

What types of industrial services can be distinguished?

An enterprise at the planning stage may benefit from industrial services such as risk assessment , consultations on the use of certain technologies, integration of energy-efficient solutions, and a number of consulting services.

If the enterprise is at the development and design stage, the most relevant will be: selection of equipment and its configuration, taking into account installation features, development of technical documentation , engineering consulting, technical solutions, etc.
