How could SMC help a UK-based OEM to cut manufacturing costs for an overseas customer? The answer is SMC's global network and its Air Management System - helping manufacturers worldwide adopt its Four Bar Factory principles.

SMC's global network - incorporating multiple disciplines including engineering and logistics - swung into action, providing advice on appropriate solutions the OEM could use to meet the end user's requirements. Additionally, SMC's specialist Drives and Networks team supported the OEM to understand how the Air Management System delivers the optimum benefits.
It's all part of SMC's wider Business Continuity Plan, giving customers and end users peace of mind to focus on their own core activities.
The outcome was that the customer's end user now benefits from lower energy costs, recognised as a sustainable manufacturer with productivity optimised; the OEM customer knows it can depend on SMC to supply innovative solutions addressing real world challenges, backed by global support.
