Supply chains aren’t predictable anymore — they’re volatile ecosystems where component shortages, extended lead times, and freight delays have become routine. For manufacturers, that means one reality: if you don’t...
In industrial automation, downtime costs thousands per hour — and replacing entire control systems can cost millions. That’s why many facilities turn to refurbished automation parts as a smart, budget-conscious...
When a variable frequency drive (VFD) or servo amplifier reaches end-of-life, finding a direct replacement isn’t as simple as matching horsepower. It’s a precise engineering decision that impacts control performance,...
Downtime is one of the most expensive words in manufacturing. Every minute a production line sits idle because of a failed or missing part means lost revenue, missed deadlines, and...
Maintenance is no longer just about fixing what breaks—it’s about predicting what will. In 2025, forward-thinking manufacturers are using data-driven insights to move from reactive maintenance to predictive strategies that...

Maintenance
As temperatures drop and production ramps up ahead of the holidays, one thing becomes clear: fall is not the season to gamble with downtime. A failed PLC, drive, or HMI...
Drives & Motors
When your automation system fails, every second counts. But before you rush to buy a new part—or send one out for repair—ask yourself: is repair the smarter move, or is...
Programmable Logic Controllers
In modern industrial automation, safety isn’t just a compliance checkbox—it’s a design requirement. And when it comes to choosing between a safety PLC and a standard PLC, the wrong decision...
Drives & Motors
Servo drives are at the heart of precision manufacturing—controlling CNCs, robotics, packaging lines, and motion systems with speed and accuracy. But when one fails, productivity stalls fast. Whether you're using...
Human Machine Interfaces
Your machine’s HMI suddenly goes dark. No display. No beep. No warning. Just silence—and downtime. So now what? Should you replace the entire unit, or is it something simple like...
Drives & Motors
When it comes to industrial automation, staying current doesn't always mean chasing the newest model. In many factories across the U.S., legacy drives like the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 70 still run the...
Maintenance
Every minute of unplanned downtime chips away at your revenue, customer satisfaction, and production goals. And while predictive maintenance has come a long way, not every failure can be predicted....
Programmable Logic Controllers
In modern industrial settings, safety is more than a requirement—it’s a responsibility. That’s where Safety PLCs step in. These specialized controllers do more than automate machinery; they ensure critical operations...
Human Machine Interfaces
Legacy SCADA systems were once sufficient, but by 2025, “just showing data” no longer meets the requirements. Today’s manufacturers need platforms that go beyond basic monitoring to support real-time decision-making,...
Human Machine Interfaces
Choosing an HMI/SCADA platform isn’t just about features—it’s also about the people, pricing, and support behind the software. Once you’ve narrowed down your feature list, the final step is to...
