Why More OEMs Are Choosing IAC Certified Refurbished Automation Parts in 2025
“We can’t wait 12 weeks.”
That’s what one OEM project manager told us when their legacy Mitsubishi MR-J2S drive failed without warning. The replacement was backordered for months. Their production line? Already shut down.
Fortunately, we had a fully tested, IAC Certified Refurbished MR-J2S-100B in stock.
It shipped that afternoon. The line was back up within 48 hours, at less than half the cost of a new one.
In 2025, stories like this are becoming more common. Refurbished automation parts have gone from fallback options to strategic assets. Leading OEMs are turning to trusted providers like Industrial Automation Co. for consistent performance, verified quality, and significant cost savings.
What Does “IAC Certified Refurbished” Mean?
At Industrial Automation Co., refurbished doesn’t mean “used” or “guesswork.” It means:
- 🛠️ Full visual inspection and deep cleaning
- 🔧 Internal repairs or replacements as needed
- 🔌 Bench testing under real-world operating conditions
- 📦 Secure packaging and professional documentation
- 🛡️ Backed by a rock-solid 2-Year Warranty
Whether it’s a drive, PLC, HMI, servo amplifier, or legacy module—every part we refurbish is tested and certified to meet performance expectations.
When we say “IAC Certified Refurbished”, it means you can trust it like you would a new part—without paying new-part prices.
🚨 Why Refurb Is Booming in 2025: 7 Key Trends OEMs Are Facing
1. Lead Time Uncertainty
Global supply chain volatility hasn’t gone away. Many OEMs face delays of 10–20 weeks on essential drives, PLCs, or HMIs. That’s not sustainable for time-sensitive production environments.
IAC Certified Refurbished Parts solve this by offering immediate availability—many parts ship the same day from our U.S. warehouse.
“We couldn’t wait for a factory reorder. IAC had our Siemens inverter refurbished and ready. It saved the job.”

2. Cost Pressures Are Driving Smarter Buying
Inflation and capital constraints are pushing OEMs to rethink where and how they source automation parts. Certified refurbished equipment offers the same functional outcome at up to 60% less cost.
And unlike questionable third-party sellers, IAC includes testing, inspection, and warranty coverage—so you don’t pay twice for replacements.
3. Sustainability & ESG Matter More Than Ever
Your customers, investors, and partners are all tracking sustainability goals. Using refurbished automation parts supports:
- Lower carbon emissions
- Less industrial waste
- Longer product life cycles
Choosing refurbished is a quick win for ESG reporting and regulatory compliance—without sacrificing reliability.
4. Modern Refurbishment = Modern Reliability
IAC Certified Refurbished Parts undergo a stringent multi-point inspection process. These aren’t “used” parts pulled from shelves—they’re reconditioned, retested, and returned to spec using modern tools and testing platforms.
You get proven performance—with warranty protection to back it up.
5. Legacy Systems Still Drive Production
From Siemens S7-300 PLCs to Mitsubishi FR-A740 drives and FANUC A06B servo modules, legacy systems remain at the core of many plants. However, OEMs often phase out replacement parts long before your equipment reaches the end of its useful life.
Our certified refurbished inventory fills that gap—so you can extend asset life without the need for expensive rewiring or control cabinet redesigns.
6. Spare Parts Strategies Are Getting Smarter
Downtime is costly, and OEMs are now stocking critical spares in advance. Refurbished parts enable teams to build their own on-site inventory without exceeding their budget.
Whether you're maintaining multiple lines or preparing for seasonal shutdowns, IAC Certified Refurbished Parts give you fast-access redundancy—without compromise.
7. Customers Want Practical, Proven Solutions
Today’s customers expect value—not just speed. Whether you’re maintaining your own systems or supporting clients through service contracts, offering refurbished options:
- Lowers their costs
- Builds your credibility
- Keeps machines running longer
