  3. What The Client Said

The Issue

At 9:00 AM, the customer’s maintenance team contacted us, urgently needing a Siemens 6FM1715-3AA20. Their existing component had failed, putting production at risk. No local suppliers had stock, and without the part, they faced costly downtime and missed delivery commitments to their own customers.

Critical Automation Parts
Production came to a halt as the missing Siemens 6FM1715-3AA20 threatened critical operations.

The manufacturer relied on a Siemens 6FM1715-3AA20 to control a key stage in their fabrication process. When the component failed, local suppliers couldn’t deliver a replacement in time. Production was at risk, jeopardising an urgent order for a critical infrastructure project.

Without immediate action, the company faced costly delays, lost revenue, and potential damage to their reputation with a long-standing client. The clock was ticking, and every hour of downtime meant more disruption on the shop floor.

The Solution

By 9:30 AM, CJS Automation identified a single unit available in Berlin. Without hesitation, we dispatched a team member on the next flight to Germany. The part was collected directly from the supplier and flown back to the UK the same day. By 10:00 PM, just 13 hours after the initial enquiry, the component was hand-delivered to the customer’s facility.

CJS Automation went above and beyond. We never imagined they’d get the part to us the same day. Their speed, dedication, and resourcefulness saved us from a costly shutdown. Truly outstanding service.
