Know which PacDrive risks could stop your production

See what protection you already have, where the gaps are and what to do first.

Are you prepared for a PacDrive failure?

A missing backup, incompatible spare or unavailable replacement can turn a single failure into prolonged downtime, emergency sourcing and missed production commitments.

Why consider a Site Risk Assessment?

Understand your risks and plan your next steps.

The assessment gives engineering, operations and finance a shared view of risk, so investment can be directed where it will provide the greatest protection.

Obsolete does not automatically mean unmanageable. Stock, repair support or a practical upgrade may provide a recovery route. Newer equipment can still carry availability and compatibility risks.

We assess PacDrive M and PacDrive 3 systems so you can decide where to invest and which equipment can stay in service.

What does the assessment cover?

Assess. Prioritise. Protect.

An on-site review of your installed PacDrive equipment, existing protection and recovery options, with recommendations prioritised by production impact.

01: Assess

Record what is installed

We record the equipment and protection in place.

  • Installed equipment by line and location
  • Backups taken or verified where access allows
  • On-site spares and compatibility
  • Models, serial numbers and photographs
02: Prioritise

Find the biggest risks

We assess where failure would have the greatest impact.

  • Criticality and production impact by line
  • Component availability and lead times
  • Compatibility with existing equipment
  • Gaps in backup and spares coverage
  • Consequences of taking no action
03: Protect

Decide what to do next

We match actions to your risk, budget and production needs.

  • Immediate priorities
  • Planned improvements
  • Longer-term strategy
  • Risks that remain if you postpone action

What will your report tell you?

Know what needs attention first.

The report shows where you have adequate protection, where gaps remain and which actions should come first.
  • A documented asset register to support future planning
  • Where existing protection is sufficient
  • Your greatest recovery gaps and exposure
  • Risk ratings and the likely production impact
  • Recommended actions: what to do now and what can wait
  • Risks that remain if you postpone action
Normally delivered within 7-10 working days, followed by a Microsoft Teams meeting to review the findings and agree next steps.
