    Automotive Industry

    Supporting manufacturers and operators with transport solutions used during designing, building and maintenance.

    The automotive industry is constantly changing. Let RS help you keep up.

    Today’s automotive production industry is highly automated and very complex, with each vehicle leaving the production line having thousands of customised possibilities, so no two vehicles are the same. It is essential the production is kept running and operating smoothly at all times, as any hold-up or unexpected downtime would cause a high financial impact. This is not just down to the supply of vehicle components arriving at the facility, at just the right time, but it is also essential that the performance of the automated production line facility itself is kept running, so monitoring all systems and carrying out planned and predictive maintenance is essential for keeping the production line running at peak efficiencies.

    At RS we stock a huge range of high-quality and reliable products from leading brands that can help maintain your facilities from automation products including, sensors, controllers, safety switches and pneumatics to a comprehensive service range including tools, greases, fasteners, personal safety and Test & Measurement.
