Difficulty Scheduling Annual Service for NexBot Safety 921-008 Plan
Industrial Robotics & Maintenance Parts case CASE-00305
Description
We purchased the NexBot Safety 921-008 Preventive Maintenance Plan for our C-10 series robot three months ago. Our facility has a planned production shutdown scheduled for the third week of next month, and we have been trying to schedule the annual PM service to coincide with this window. I have submitted two requests through the online portal and left one voicemail with the regional scheduling department over the past three weeks but have not received a confirmation or a proposed service date. We need to get a technician scheduled urgently to ensure the service is completed during the shutdown to avoid impacting our production schedule. Can you please investigate the delay and provide us with a confirmed service date for our C-10 robot under our active maintenance plan?
Symptoms
- No response from scheduling department
- Approaching planned production shutdown
- Service confirmation pending for over two weeks
- Unable to confirm technician availability
Resolution
The customer's request was escalated to the Regional Field Service Manager. An internal scheduling system conflict was identified and corrected. A certified field service technician has been assigned and confirmed for the requested maintenance window. The service visit for the C-10 robot, covered under the NexBot Safety 921-008 Preventive Maintenance Plan, is now scheduled. The customer has received a formal confirmation email with the technician's name, contact information, and the pre-service checklist to ensure site readiness.
Resolution Steps
- Verified the customer's active entitlement under the NexBot Safety 921-008 Preventive Maintenance Plan.
- Contacted the Regional Field Service Manager to escalate the scheduling request due to the impending production shutdown.

- Secured and confirmed a certified technician for the customer's requested date.
- Sent a formal scheduling confirmation email to the customer, including all relevant visit details.
- Confirmed with the customer via phone that the resolution was satisfactory.
