Northern Industrial imports two robots

The automation spare parts and repairs company installed the new acquisitions at its 30,000 sq ft repair facility on Shadsworth Business Park.

Northern Industrial provides reconditioned and obsolete parts and repair services to customers in 132 countries. Sourcing parts from over 1,350 manufacturers, the multi-award-winning company covers over 200,000 part numbers and holds approximately £7m in stock.

“Machinery breakdowns are not only stressful, they’re expensive too – a recent report suggested they cost an average $260,000 an hour across all businesses. “Our aim is to provide the spare parts and repairs customers need as quickly as possible to minimise downtime in a breakdown situation. The two new robots will allow us to test and ensure all repair works have been successful, and parts are in full working order before we deliver them to an already stressed out customer, who could be literally anywhere in the world.”
