Over the years, with the onset of Industry 4.0, the implementation of sophisticated industrial automation solutions has changed the way processes are handled in manufacturing, machinery, and production processes.

However, the use of sensory devices, PLC systems, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other electrical equipment is only guaranteed if all industrial automation parts can survive in harsh environments. For this reason, systems must be able to withstand high temperatures, humidity, electric and magnetic fields, and other challenging conditions to ensure functionality.

Implementing a machine preventive maintenance schedule is a must for any company operating in the industrial sector.

As opposed to reactive maintenance, this approach aims to keep assets in optimal condition and prevent failure via a set of planned maintenance tasks. Of course, there are many factors that can affect industrial machine performance, such as age and the quality of the product itself, and eventually, machines will require renewal or spare parts will be necessary.

Different industries in the UAE are undergoing rapid digital transformation. With the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) underway, companies are transforming the way they manufacture and distribute their products with the implementation of technologies such as cyber-physical systems, AI and machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and analytics, and more.

Preferred Spares is one of the leading electrical equipment suppliers in the UAE, supplying customers across the Middle East and Europe with quality industrial automation and process control spares and other electrical equipment.
