Technical Spare Parts Engineering & International Sourcing

The activity is built on hands-on spare parts engineering experience accumulated across heavy machinery, industrial equipment, and automation platforms.

Our work focuses on:

• exact OEM reference validation
• hardware and firmware compatibility checks
• revision and generation control
• electrical characteristics verification (voltage, I/O type, bus compatibility)
   

We routinely identify parts using:

• OEM reference numbers
• electrical schematics and machine documentation
• partial labels, serial numbers, or damaged markings
• platform knowledge (S5, S7, PLC-5, Sinumerik, Fanuc, Indramat, etc.)
   

We specialize in systems where:

• OEM support is discontinued
• local distribution is no longer available
• lead times are incompatible with production constraints
   

Typical platforms include:

• Siemens SIMATIC S5 / S7
• Siemens Sinumerik CNC
• Fanuc CNC & servo electronics
• Bosch Rexroth / Indramat drives
• ABB, Danfoss, and legacy HMI platforms
   

Testing and documentation may include:

• power-up and operational state validation (RUN/STOP)
• communication checks
• firmware version identification
• checksum verification (where applicable)
• serial number and manufacturing date recording
  

Since 2005, we have sourced industrial spare parts through:

• dismantled European factories
• decommissioned production lines
• surplus and controlled inventories
   

Understanding supplier structures, inventory risks, and verification methods is critical when dealing with obsolete references.

Our sourcing process prioritizes original OEM hardware, traceability, and condition control.

We manage international shipments ranging from:

• express courier deliveries (DHL, FedEx, UPS)
• consolidated freight
• sea freight, including full 20 ft containers

Export documentation and customs coordination are handled according to destination and urgency.

Operating internationally since 2005 also requires control over:

• multi-currency transactions
• exchange rate exposure on high-value orders
• international payment platforms and bank transfers

This ensures predictable commercial execution even in urgent or high-value situations.

Legacy-PLC is positioned as a technical backup channel for plants operating legacy automation — before shortages escalate into extended downtime.

Accuracy, documentation, and response time take priority over volume.
