Maintaining your systems is important to keep your processes running optimally, now and in the future. That is why DGS is always at your service to carry out maintenance on a regular basis.
DGS has experienced engineers with the right technical knowledge to prevent wear and tear of your production equipment and, if necessary, to replace parts in a fast and efficient way. For example, we offer a multi-year contract. This stipulates we carry out periodic follow-ups based on the historical data. This results in prompt and effective maintenance. Our technicians are always up to date with the latest technical developments. So you are assured of the best maintenance and support.

Upgrades
Do your existing systems no longer meet your requirements? Are you looking to work more efficiently, hygienically, and ergonomically, but is it too expensive for you to have a completely new system installed? DGS offers several possibilities to upgrade your systems. These upgrades are not only implemented on DGS systems but also on third party systems.
Moreover, we provide retrofits. With retrofits we ensure that installations keep running even when critical parts are unavailable. In that case, DGS will take care of replacing the parts so that the installation can keep running for years.
We proactively think along with you in order to make your process run smoothly again. Together we’ll look at the possibilities to replace or adjust the installation, or integrate our solutions in your existing process.
Service
Emergency & Remote support
Has your process been brought to a standstill by a malfunction or breakdown? DGS is always there for you to get your systems running again as soon as possible. As a result, the interruption to your production would be as short as possible.
Our technicians are able to quickly and efficiently locate the defect. They’ll solve the problem for you as quickly as possible. In order to do so, they are brought on site or assist you remotely with camera support. We are always available to consult you about the required parts and services, so you won’t be faced with surprises. If you would like a written agreement for assurance, we could include this in the service contract so that you know exactly what you can expect from us.
Service
Spare parts
When parts of your systems are in need of replacement, DGS is here to help. We have the right parts in house to make sure your installation functions properly again. If requested, we could also install them for you.
In addition, when you purchase a system, we offer a package with recommended spare parts. This way, you only invest in what you actually need and minimise downtime as much as possible. It is also possible to periodically check our stock for current spare parts and to provide subsequent advice, should you be interested.
Service
Preventive maintenance
Looking to prevent spontaneous maintenance costs and work? DGS is happy to draw up a maintenance plan with you to perform preventive maintenance on a periodic basis. This way you avoid breakdowns and interruptions within operation.
Our mechanics carry out maintenance in such a way that it fits your production planning. With a maintenance plan, you’re guaranteed the reliability of your systems and the extend lifespan of your machines. We are happy to discuss all the options with you.
On request, we can also closely monitor (parts of) the system and inform you about expected maintenance. In doing so, we can work out the optimal timing for maintenance and component replacement, thus saving you even more money.
Service
Consultancy & training
Our engineers and specialists are equipped with the latest knowledge and skills in the field of technical processes. If requested, they could advise you on how to optimise your processes. This can be done through an advisory report, but also through training sessions. Our consultants are happy to visit you

Steinemann GMBH
Steinemann enlisted DGS to modernize their outdated pig slaughter line. DGS installed an innovative stainless steel chain and a 30-meter-long curing tank, resulting in improved meat quality and a more efficient process. The collaboration proved successful, with increased capacity and minimal quality variations as a result.

Locks - Belgian Pork Group
Locks, part of Belgian Pork Group, has made a major leap in automation with DGS. Through various solutions for intralogistics, plate freezing, and an autonomous repacking line, efficiency has been significantly increased. The result: 100 to 120 tons per week with minimal workforce and a future-proof process.

T. Boer & zn
T. Boer & zn has been a valued customer of DGS since its inception, playing an essential role in the company. A few years ago, T. Boer & zn faced a new challenge: optimizing the valorization of by-products to enhance both shelf life and quality. DGS responded by developing various tailored solutions, resulting in a complete modernization of the slaughterhouse.

Bahlmann veal
Bahlmann veal is Germany's largest veal producer. The small town of Lindern is home to one of the most modern slaughterhouses in the country, and this is also where we find Bahlmann's feed factory. DGS was able to make a significant contribution during the modernisation of the slaughterhouse. Together with Managing Director Dirk Vagelpohl, we look back on this project.

Schouten Food Twente
DGS has recently completed a project for the high-care department of vegetarian foodproducer Schouten Twente. The project focused on hygiene and optimisation, with the main challenge being the limited space. The result? A custom-made platform that not only meets strict hygiene standards, but also delivers remarkable efficiency.

Oosterwolde
In March 2023, DGS successfully completed a project for a new production line in Oosterwolde. This project involved the installation of two robotic packing lines, palletising boxes per full layer. Due to the limited space available, it was a difficult task to know how to achieve an efficient process. However, through a high degree of automation, DGS managed to overcome the obstacles and complete the job. But that's not all: the output surpassed previous expectations significantly.

Vandersterre
In 2020, Vandersterre was commissioned to pack cheese in boxes in addition to crates. They were therefore looking for a suitable partner to convert the production line. DGS turned out to be a good match. Both boxes and crates can now be transported via the same belts and palletisers. This solution saves space and promotes process efficiency. A new packing line was also installed for packing the boxes, equipped with the latest vision camera technology. Thus, together, a great project was realised.
