The Issue

A large bakery faced repeated production delays due to a failing Siemens S7-300 PLC module. The part was critical for controlling their automated packaging line, and its failure caused unpredictable stoppages. Local suppliers couldn’t provide a replacement, putting product deliveries and customer contracts at risk.

The bakery’s production line relied on a specialised automation component that controlled its dough-handling equipment. When the part failed, local suppliers were unable to source a replacement, bringing the line to a standstill. With a large retail order deadline approaching, the company faced escalating costs and potential contract penalties.

Every day of downtime disrupted operations and strained their ability to meet customer demand. Without a quick solution, the bakery risked significant revenue losses and damage to its reputation as a reliable supplier.

The Solution

CJS Automation swiftly identified the required Siemens module through their global supplier network. Understanding the urgency, the team prioritised the order and arranged express delivery. The new part arrived at the bakery within 48 hours, allowing their engineers to restore full production capacity without further disruption.
