How likely is it to fail?
Units that fail often on your type of machine rank higher.
Advisory
Critical spares list for servo, drive and PLC equipment
You cannot stock every spare. Star Automations reviews your installed units and prepares a ranked list of the spares worth holding, with the condition to buy them in, so a breakdown is a swap and not a wait for a part. Star Automations is an independent multi-brand repair company and is not an OEM service centre.
01Ranking
How a spare earns a place on the list
Each unit is ranked on a few plain questions.
How long is the wait for one?
Long lead times and discontinued models move up the list.
What does the stoppage cost?
A unit that stops a whole line ranks above one that stops a single axis.
How many of the same unit do you run?
One spare can cover many installed units of the same model.
Can it be repaired fast?
Units with a quick repair route need a shorter shelf list.
02Input
What you send
An installed list is enough to begin.
- Make, model and quantity of installed servo motors, drives, PLCs and HMIs
- Machine and line each unit belongs to
- Spares you already hold, and where they are stored
- Failure history, where you have it
03Output
What you get
A document the stores and maintenance teams can use directly.
- The ranked list of spares to hold, by model
- The condition suggested for each: new-surplus, refurbished and tested, or used
- Spares you hold that need a power-up check before you rely on them
- Models where a repair route is better than a shelf spare

We agree what to hold, what to repair and what to leave.
Do I have to buy the spares from Star Automations?
No. The list is a document for your own purchasing. Star Automations holds new-surplus, refurbished and used stock if you want to source from us.
Does the list cover obsolete models?
Yes, and those usually rank high. See the obsolescence audit for the full picture.
Can you check the spares I already hold?
Yes. Spares that have sat on a shelf for years can fail on first power-up, so we can include a spares health check.
