1, key components: if the non-standard automation equipment has some key components, such as special specifications of the sensor, actuator or electrical components, the supply of these parts will be limited, thus affecting the production and delivery of equipment.
2, special materials: non-standard automation equipment may require the use of some special materials, such as high-strength alloys, special plastics and so on. If the supply of these special materials is unstable or price fluctuations, it may become a bottleneck in production.
3, customized parts: some non-standard automation equipment may require customized parts, if the supplier can not be delivered on time or can not meet the requirements of the equipment, will lead to production delays.
4, special processing: the production of non-standard automation equipment may require some special processing, such as precision machining, surface treatment, etc., if the suppliers of these processes are limited or complex process, may become a bottleneck.
5, outsourcing parts: some non-standard automation equipment may need to outsource some parts or components, if the outsourcing supplier can not be delivered in a timely manner or quality problems, may affect the overall production schedule. In order to solve the bottleneck material problem, the production of non-standard automation equipment companies usually need to establish a good working relationship with suppliers, advance planning and forecasting of material demand, to ensure the stability and transparency of the supply chain. In addition, for some critical components or special materials, consider establishing alternatives or multiple sources of supply to minimize supply risks.
