The pressures we see
- Takt time pressure where one stopped station holds up the whole line
- Robot and weld cell spares spread across several different control platforms
- Customer schedule penalties when a delivery slips
- Shift patterns that need parts available well outside office hours
How we help
- Robot cell, press and conveyor spares are agreed with you up front and held ready, so a stopped station never waits on a manufacturer lead time.
- Emergency call off and out of hours delivery keep the line running through night and weekend shifts.
- Standardising sensors, connectors and pneumatics across cells reduces the number of part numbers you carry.
- Line side consumable stations put everyday items where the technicians actually work.
Typical products
- Proximity and photoelectric sensors
- Pneumatic cylinders, valves and fittings
- Servo motors, drives and encoders
- Anti-spatter sprays and weld cell consumables
- Industrial connectors and control cable
- Linear guides and cam followers

You stop raising orders for consumables. We scan, replenish and invoice, so the bin is full when your fitters reach for it.
Read moreCritical Spare Management
We work out which parts would stop your line, then hold them on your behalf so a long lead time never becomes lost production.
