Classic Automation Expands Its Free On-Site Control System Audit Program

Classic Automation, a notable player in the domain of industrial automation, has officially extended its Free On-Site Control System Audit Program across the entirety of North America. Initially developed for the New York region and launched in 2025, this program allows manufacturing facilities to conduct a complimentary evaluation of both their modern and legacy control systems.

The company, renowned for its extensive portfolio of new, surplus, and refurbished industrial automation components, aims to assist manufacturers in maintaining operational efficacy by providing a thorough assessment of their existing control systems. This initiative incorporates a systematic review of installed components, identifying critical spare parts and analyzing the information stored in program libraries and existing inventories.

Troy Johnson, System Sales Engineer at Classic Automation, emphasized that the core objective of the audit program is to help manufacturers stay ahead of potential system failures. He remarked, "This program is about helping facilities stay ahead of failure. We offer more than just parts and repairs; we provide actionable insights that aid customers in maintaining uptime, managing inventory smarter, and extending the lifespan of their systems."

Fritz Ruebeck, the company’s owner and president, reinforced that this initiative is part of Classic Automation's broader strategy to prepare their customers for long-term success. He stated, "We want our customers to extract maximum value from their systems throughout their entire lifecycle instead of only focusing on upgrades. This program represents an additional tool in our comprehensive suite of support services."

Key Benefits of the Audit Program

The audit program comes with various benefits, including:

• - Comprehensive assessments of control systems and installed components.
• - Identification of both supportable and at-risk components, ensuring strategic planning for replacements or upgrades.
• - Thorough reviews of spare parts inventory and program libraries, improving the management of resources.
• - Assistance with asset recovery for unused or obsolete parts.
• - Eligibility for blanket order discounts, which can significantly reduce costs over time.
• - NDA compliance is available for those looking for additional confidentiality.

Scope of Support

Classic Automation prides itself on being equipped to handle a wide array of industrial control systems, whether they are new, surplus, or older legacy models. With over 1 million parts in stock and more than 23 years of industry experience, the company’s audit program encompasses equipment from renowned manufacturers like Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Omron, Schneider Electric, ABB, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Honeywell, and Yaskawa. The breadth of support spans PLCs, CPUs, HMIs, operator interfaces, servo drives, motors, power supplies, industrial PCs, motion controllers, I/O modules, variable frequency drives, and much more.

If a required part or specific manufacturer is not in their extensive inventory, Classic Automation commits to sourcing these hard-to-find components for their customers.
