We provide round-the-clock support to ensure fast and efficient problem resolution, both remotely and on-site. Our flexible support plans, based on hourly support quotas, offer cost-effective solutions tailored to your needs. Using secure VPN access or TeamViewer, our first- and second-level support teams can access customer installations at any time. Most issues are resolved remotely through First-Level Support by immediate troubleshooting and problem solving. If an issue cannot be fully resolved remotely, through Second-Level Support we provide detailed step-by-step guidance to enable the customer to perform tasks such as replacing spare parts or recalibrating thermocouples. If needed, we recommend trusted local experts for further assistance. When on-site intervention is required, we dispatch a qualified service technician to the customer’s facility, while ensuring that necessary spare parts are available upon arrival, minimizing downtime.
If you are a new customer, you can contact our service team via the global service hubs listed below. With our 24/7 availability, remote diagnostics, and on-site intervention options, we help businesses minimize disruptions and maintain optimal operational efficiency.

Clear, Structured Service Commitment for Reliability and Security
The PROBAT Service Agreements are the basic framework we establish with our customers to define the terms and conditions of our service commitment. These agreements cover our full range of offerings, from consultancy to spare parts, general maintenance and telephone support. But having the right software maintenance strategy in place is also critical to the long-term security of a business and the satisfaction of our customers: Basic, Comfort, Premium and Complete are the names of the four different software maintenance packages offered by PROBAT - also known as Software Service Level Agreements - which proactively prevent production system downtime for customers worldwide. The services agreed for each service level ensure that the installed control software is modified and updated throughout the entire product life cycle in consultation with the customer. PROBAT experts regularly check the software, point out potential future problems and make the necessary adjustments.
For the customer, Service Agreements provide a structured approach to budgeting while ensuring seamless access to pre-agreed services. In addition, they are essential to ensure smooth and safe operation with minimal downtime.
