Available around the clock

Valmet eStore "Parts by Category" is available for registered customers around the clock, 24/7 via the Valmet Portal. Machine specific content is a purchased option for eStore. It provides a fast, secure way to contact Valmet spare part services. You have access to information about inventory availability, lead time of products, pricing regarding your specific items, and ordering.

Valmet eStore is the most innovative system available today offering mill staff access to relevant component technical information that can be readily used to save time and money on machine maintenance and improvements.

Parts ordering is more accurate; it becomes easier to guard against redundant purchases or overstocking and ensures that descriptions of non-stock materials or parts are accurately relayed to your purchasing function.

Easy to use

Valmet eStore provides three modes of access to spare and wear parts: by mill equipment, by product structure and directly to the eStore. ("Product structure" content is purchased mill/machine content.) When using the eStore method, the user knows what part (e.g. bearings), and looks at the eStore to find where that part is used on the machine, and order it.

When using the mill equipment or product structure method of part selection, the user drills down by selecting the machine, or the section of the machine to see the applicable drawings and BOMs.

Example of using eStore to find drawing and part information

Clicking on the section name will open the parts list and drawings for that section. In this example want to look at the dryer section of Board Machine #7.

After selecting the dryer section, the user can now select which subsection to view. In this case, the user selects the 5300 lead roll assembly.

When viewing the lead roll assembly drawing, hot links connect items on the drawing to their detailed information.

The hot links on the associated lead roll assembly BOM also link to part information.

After clicking on an item, Valmet eStore displays its details as shown above. Then, by clicking on the [ADD] button the user can easily order the part.

Other features of eStore

The Customer Tag column automatically populates with Customer-to-Valmet cross reference (for items Valmet has in the customer's ERP system). eStore has advanced searching capability with the ability to search across multiple catalogs. Pop-up notes are linked to part graphics, with up-to-date manufacturer information, changes, safety advice and warnings where necessary within documentation.
