The opportunity

My job often involves solving challenges that others can't. Recently, one of Europe’s leading distributors of industrial maintenance products and services was desperately looking for specific Omron cameras.

These essential components typically had lead times stretching beyond 16 weeks. They had repeatedly been let down by suppliers, with promised dates continually pushed back, leaving them frustrated and facing serious delays.

The challenge

These Omron cameras were extremely scarce and practically impossible to locate quickly. The customers' extensive searches had yielded no results, putting them at risk of significant delays, potential operational disruptions and escalating costs. Even my tried and tested sourcing methods came up empty-handed, forcing me to get creative.

"When the customer told me these parts were like gold dust, I was excited to prove that finding impossible components is just another day at EU Automation."

My solution

Recognising the urgency, I immediately leveraged my network of trusted industry contacts, hunting for the parts needed and leaving no stone unturned. Through close collaboration and rapid communication, I was able to tap into previously inaccessible sources to secure the required parts and ensure we delivered the elusive cameras far quicker than the industry-standard lead time.

A successful outcome

Thanks to EU Automation's unique resources and commitment to going above and beyond for our customers, I was able to secure and deliver these critical components to the customer where many others had failed. This success highlights the benefits of our robust and extensive supply network and our unique ability to rapidly source rare parts when others simply can't.

Our customer, one of Europe's premier MRO distributors, was immensely relieved by our success, avoiding the damaging impacts of prolonged downtime and ensuring continuity in their operations.
