Strategic sourcing
Three regional desks work the same request in parallel, so a part that is allocated in one market is still being chased in another.
Enabling smarter manufacturing
Automation technologies rely on stable component supply to support productivity, efficiency and innovation.
Typical applications
Robotics
Smart factories
Packaging equipment
Industrial control systems
Process automation
Built for systems that cannot be requalified twice
Tradius works with manufacturers developing advanced automation and robotics solutions worldwide.
Requests are worked across the Americas, EMEA and APAC in parallel, and every source is qualified before anything is bought on your behalf.
Robotics · Motion · Control
Four pressures on an automation programme
Each of these is a reason a request reaches our desk. The route out is different for each.
Fast technology evolution
Control electronics move a generation ahead while the machine around them stays the same.
Component obsolescence
A controller can outlive the processor it was designed around.
Production continuity
A replacement part is only a solution once it has been approved for the system.
Supplier diversification
One qualified route to a critical part is one route too few.
Sourcing inside international automation standards
Regulatory knowledge
Supporting customers operating within international industrial and automation standards.
Our sourcing approach supports systems that are commissioned in one region and serviced in another.
Lead-time challenges
Automation projects frequently combine long equipment lifecycles with rapidly changing electronic technologies.
Our global sourcing network helps identify qualified alternative supply sources when traditional channels cannot meet the build schedule.
Components we source for automation systems
PLC electronics
Motion controllers
Servo electronics
Sensors
Industrial communication modules
HMI components
Four ways we take risk out of the system
Cost optimization
Consolidation, volume leverage and approved alternatives, weighed against what the system is allowed to change.
Risk management
Suppliers are qualified, paperwork verified and risk assessed before anything is bought on your behalf.
Global supplier access
Relationships across the Americas, EMEA and APAC, worked in parallel on the same request.
