Automotive

We stock automation spares for the automotive industry.

Since 1913, production lines have been an essential part of car manufacturing. Technology has come a long way, and now automation is crucial for keeping those lines working effectively.

SenseEye reported that each hour of downtime cost the automotive industry over £1.6 million last year. That's much more than in many other sectors and over 50% more than in 2019/20.

The automotive industry is changing fast, with EVs, smartphone integration and autonomous vehicles becoming more popular. Having said that, production lines are often used for a long time. Some lines run 24/7 to cope with demand, and some function in harsh environments like paint shops; therefore, wear and tear is inevitable.

It can be more efficient to change parts than replace equipment or an entire line — particularly if there's a strategy of total preventative maintenance in place. That's why it's so important to have a reliable supplier of automotive automation parts and to keep track of equipment obsolescence.

However, regardless of criticality, having the correct part in stock isn't always so simple.

That's why, at Foxmere, we stock a massive range of automation spares for automotive manufacturers, including SICK, Siemens, IFM and Schneider.

Moreover, we offer a 12-month warranty on all parts and express shipping and trade terms are available to expedite our processes further whilst minimising your downtime.
