To streamline procurement for control engineers, machine designers and automated factories, PI North America reported Feb. 21 that it’s launched a new website called Where to Buy.
This resource is designed to help users easily find distributors of Profibus, Profinet, IO-Link and omlox products that are members of PI North America. Because automation products can be complex and require close consultation with suppliers, Where to Buy also makes it easy for users to find local contacts, and quickly access each distributor’s product knowledge, availability, and support.
“One of the most common requests we get is, ‘Where can I acquire this particular product?,’ ” says Michael Bowne, executive director at PI North America. “We have a diverse membership, including distributors of automation products. Now, we have a one-stop shop to get those requests into their hands.”
