Metso’s Aggregates Services team is conducting a series of customer training programmes across India, aimed at improving equipment performance, reliability, productivity and operational efficiency.The programmes focus on preventive and predictive maintenance, performance enhancement and practical site-level operating practices. The sessions are designed to help customers address operational challenges while improving equipment availability and lifecycle performance.A key area of focus is improving operators’ understanding of equipment behaviour, correct operating practices, inspection routines and early identification of potential issues. Metso said better-trained operators can contribute to higher productivity, improved equipment reliability, lower operating costs and safer operations.The programmes also encourage the use of digital tools and data-driven decision-making to support smarter plant operations.Each training programme includes a dedicated Lifecycle Services session, highlighting the role of proactive maintenance and service solutions in maximising long-term plant performance.Metso said customer feedback on the programmes has been positive, with participants seeking wider coverage of the company’s product portfolio in future sessions.Based on the feedback, the company plans to expand the scope of upcoming programmes, include solutions for common issues experienced across Indian sites and conduct additional training sessions in the coming months.Through the initiative, Metso aims to strengthen customer partnerships while supporting safer, more productive and efficient aggregates operations across India.
