Predictive maintenance and innovation

From data collection, through their analysis to solution design and support in dealing with suppliers.

We test machines and components

We select components for car production machinery that are the most suitable for Škoda Auto operations and, at the same time, we confirm parameters provided by the manufacturer.

We measure and analyse data

Within our projects, we use many years of experience in the field of vibrodiagnostics, thermodiagnostics, tribodiagnostics, fluid elements, special oil filtration, stable pressure vessels, on-line diagnostics, data collection, monitoring of electrical quantities and other special measurements.

About us

Škoda FabLab is a testing centre of predictive maintenance, machinery and components for car production. We dedicate to applied research related to car production, for needs of Škoda Auto in Mladá Boleslav, Kvasiny and Vrchlabí. Our aim is to secure the maximum usability of car production machinery.

Online Tribodiagnostics in Škoda Auto

April 2024

The goal of the online oil analysis is to provide machine Operators with real-time information about condition of the oil to identify potential problems and failures before any major failure happens. This reduces the risk of machines failures and increases machines´ reliability and efficiency. Online oil analysis also allows maintenance planning based on up-to-date data and identifies potential problems, which is reducing the costs of machine maintenance and repairs.
