Let's Talk
Robots are one part of industrial automation, alongside controllers, sensors, drives and skilled workers. Discover how these elements work together, where robotics adds value and what manufacturers should consider before investing.
Discover how PLCs support connected manufacturing, the challenges of integrating existing equipment and what Industry 4.0 could mean for your next upgrade.
Accurate part numbers help you source suitable automation components and avoid ordering errors that extend downtime. Discover what to check before requesting a quote and how to approach changed or discontinued references.
Discover why obsolete automation parts can still be sourced and how careful planning can help keep existing machinery productive.
One failed component can bring far more than a single machine to a standstill. Across a production line, each stage relies on the next to supply materials, process products, or move finished goods. When that flow breaks, disruption can spread quickly.
A production line depends on many components working together. When one fails, disruption can extend well beyond the machine where the fault began. A stopped conveyor might leave upstream equipment unable to discharge products, while packaging stations further along run out of material. Industrial maintenance strategies help you decide what to inspect, when to intervene and how to prepare for breakdowns. For maintenance managers and procurement teams, understanding those connections provides a useful starting point.
ABB’s standard Tmax T5, T6 and T7 circuit breakers are approaching the end of their manufacturing lifecycle. In its January 2026 announcement, ABB scheduled discontinuation for the end of the year, with last-time-buy orders required no later than September and delivery within December. For businesses that maintain equipment fitted with these breakers, this changes how they source replacement parts and future spares. With that purchasing deadline now passed, maintenance teams and procurement departments should focus on identifying installed units, reviewing spare stock and checking remaining availability.
Predictive maintenance helps service engineers anticipate developing faults by analysing equipment condition. Changes in vibration, temperature, and other operating data let you investigate before a breakdown occurs. Yet an early warning only takes you so far. If you can't source, check, and prepare a replacement component within that window, a planned intervention may still become an urgent repair. Having suitable spare parts available allows maintenance teams to address faults identified through predictive monitoring. That means deciding what to keep in stock, ordering other components in time and preparing replacements for installation.
CJS Automation has moved into new premises. After several weeks of renovations, moving equipment, and unpacking, we’re ready to share a milestone we've been working toward for three years. For us, arriving here is personally significant. It also gives our business a new base to grow from, with customers’ needs guiding what comes next.
When a part is described as discontinued, it means the manufacturer has stopped producing it and no longer supplies it through standard channels. At this point, availability becomes limited and often unpredictable. Over time, many discontinued components move further into what is known as obsolete status, where sourcing becomes increasingly specialised.
