The Challenges of Managing Multiple Support Services in Industrial Manufacturing
As a manufacturer, you’re likely no stranger to the symphony of challenges that can arise. Alarms blare and your maintenance team scrambles to fix one problem after another. Downtime is eating away at your profits and stress levels are rising.
Managing multiple support services for your automation assets can be overwhelming. This is especially if you’re a small- or medium-sized manufacturer and don’t have access to as many resources as a larger business. So, what do you do?
The Rexel Support Agreement (RSA) is a comprehensive service plan designed to help industrial manufacturers overcome these challenges. The RSA is an all-in-one solution that combines a host of support capabilities into one annual contract, providing priority service and proactive engagements to help you maximize your automation investments and achieve operational excellence.

An Added (Sustainability) Bonus
The RSA can also boost your sustainability efforts by helping you reduce energy consumption and waste. For example, predictive maintenance provides early detection and resolution of issues, which can prevent unnecessary energy usage. Proactive maintenance also extends the lifespan of your equipment, saving you money and reducing the need for replacement and waste generation. In addition, remanufacturing and repairing assets can prolong their life by keeping them in use for as long as possible. Instead of discarding the item at the end of its perceived useful life, they extend the useful life of an asset by replacing damaged, worn-out, or non-efficient parts, in effect, reducing what would otherwise end up in landfills.
You’re not just boosting your bottom line – you’re making a positive impact on the environment and showing your commitment to sustainability. This aligns your business with growing consumer expectations and positions you as a leader in the industry.
