Benefits of Using Refurbished Electrical Components in Manufacturing
When it comes to selecting industrial surplus electrical components, the OEM component is not always better. Refurbished electrical components are often fully functional and offer a variety of benefits to your business, such as: reduced costs, improved inspections, improved aging components, and sustainability.
Reduces costs
The immediate benefits of refurbished electrical components in manufacturing are that it is significantly cheaper than new but identical ones. By the simple act of refurbishing a component automatically reduces its selling price; regardless of the reason the manufacturer renewed it. You are likely to save at least 10 percent and possibly up to 50 percent on your component purchases.
Improved inspections
A lower price, of course, does not necessarily mean that the refurbished electrical components are worth buying. Refurbished electrical components that were not properly inspected may contain defects, causing production problems that cost far more money than your savings compared to the purchase.
Refurbished electrical components, however, receive more rigorous testing than new components. Regardless of what is wrong with the product, manufacturers often carefully consider it before they are put on the market, and it means they are more likely to identify and eliminate problems than the new components. In a nut shell, if you get refurbished electrical components, you are likely to end up getting superior components at a lower price.
Improved aging components
The industry is rapidly changing, and aged industrial surplus electrical components that were common are fast evolving by way of refurbishment. So if you still consider buying the new components for manufacturing purpose, you may be losing out of reflected updates that are available on the refurbished equipment.
For example, If your company uses dated components that you still find viable for manufacturing purpose, it can be difficult to find the components needed to repair and maintain the equipment. The restored products tend to be older, allowing you to find what you need for the old computer running at full capacity.
Savvy Sustainability
One more reason to use Refurbished electrical components in manufacturing is that you do not want to wait for your production process to be halted before buying a new component entirely. Also, you do not want to cross the budget line for your manufacturing company by going with completely new components. This is not to say that you cannot make use of your enterprise money to get better components. However this means that your business becomes more sustainable when there is no halt in the production process hence more buyers and patronage. Additionally, another way to see this can be related a concept in production management, which prioritizes routine maintenance to periodic maintenance.
