4) Prepare Site for On-Site Visit — Ensure safe access, clear equipment locations, and coordination with facilities teams. Have serial numbers and warranty documents ready, and share any required safety protocols or service ladders/equipment that may be needed for on-site maintenance.

5) On-Site Deployment and Support — A certified technician will respond within the 4-hour window, diagnose the issue, perform preventive maintenance or components replacement as defined, and verify system operation before departure. Post-visit reporting and ticket closure will confirm service completion and system readiness.
