Stop the Downtime: How to Quickly Source Automation Spare Parts Online

Need to replace a sensor, PLC, or drive fast? Here's how to find industrial automation parts online using part numbers and verified supplier offers.

The most efficient way to find the exact replacement is by using the manufacturer part number (MPN). This code is typically printed on:

• The component’s label or nameplate
• Packaging or box
• Maintenance documentation or purchase invoices

Examples of common MPNs:

• 6ES7155-6AU01-0BN0 – Siemens I/O module
• MR-JE-70C – Mitsubishi servo drive
• 9007CO3 – Telemecanique limit switch
• IE5338 – IFM proximity sensor

If the label is damaged, search using the brand and part type or ask your maintenance team for older documentation.

Many professionals still rely on traditional methods: calling suppliers, browsing catalogs, or using general B2B platforms. These approaches are time-consuming and often lack transparency.

A more effective solution is to use Automa.Net, a dedicated B2B marketplace for automation parts. Just enter the MPN in the search bar to instantly view:

• Verified offers from global industrial suppliers
• Real-time stock availability and delivery times
• Product datasheets, images, and technical specifications

No login is required to start searching.

Sourcing automation parts the old way can lead to unnecessary downtime. Here’s why:

• You don’t see all available suppliers in one place
• Prices and stock availability are rarely transparent
• Suppliers often take hours (or days) to reply
• You can’t easily compare lead times or product conditions
• Identifying replacements or equivalents is a manual process

Using a professional search platform solves all of these problems in seconds.

Once you’ve found the part on Automa.Net, you can:

• Compare prices and delivery times from multiple suppliers
• Filter results by country, condition (new, surplus, used), or supplier rating
• Download product datasheets and see warranty details
• Send a direct quote request to selected suppliers
• Or buy the part immediately, if the supplier has a “Buy Now” option enabled

This approach reduces sourcing time and gives you full control over how and where you purchase your parts. Whether you're planning ahead or dealing with an urgent repair, it's fast, transparent, and efficient.

If your part is hard to find, discontinued, or currently unavailable in search results, you can still move forward.

Simply use the RFQ form on Automa.Net to submit a request for any part number (MPN). Your request will be sent directly to verified suppliers on the platform who may have:

• Available stock that isn't publicly listed
• Surplus or refurbished versions
• Equivalent parts ready to ship

This is especially useful when you're dealing with urgent breakdowns or sourcing legacy components.
