Over the past few years, the global supply chain landscape has been marred by unprecedented challenges and disruptions, the brunt of which have been felt by manufacturers and engineering professionals across all verticals.

Manufacturers rely heavily on efficient and robust supply chains to deliver products to market and maintain competitive advantage. However, recent years have witnessed a series of disruptive events that have exposed vulnerabilities within the global supply chain. Factors such as trade disputes, tariffs and the ongoing pandemic have disrupted the flow of goods, causing delays, shortages and increased costs.

Firstly, geopolitical tensions and trade disputes have strained relationships between major economies, leading to the imposition of tariffs and trade barriers. These measures have disrupted supply chains, forcing manufacturers to navigate complex regulatory landscapes and re-evaluate their sourcing strategies.

Natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods have wreaked havoc on manufacturing facilities and transportation networks. Such events have caused severe disruptions, resulting in production delays, inventory shortages and increased lead times.

Lastly, the Covid-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on global supply chains. Lockdown measures, travel restrictions and workforce shortages have disrupted production, transportation and logistics on a global scale. Manufacturers were faced with reduced capacity, supply shortages and a need for agile solutions to mitigate the impact of the crisis.

Amid these challenges, EU Automation has emerged as a reliable partner for manufacturers, providing innovative solutions to mitigate disruptions and support businesses in navigating the complexities of the global supply chain.
