AutomationDirect Company Reviews

AutomationDirect is always quick and efficient.

Bought a SCE-8066ELJ Enclosure to house a relay (also bought from Automation Direct). Both were excellent quality. Very pleased

Great selection, great price, always fast shipping, even better customer support.

I have used these breakers for years and have come to rely on automation directs quick shipping and stock to get customers back up and running.

They had what I needed, and the shipping was fast, so there was minimal downtime. The website is really easy to use, I can usually find what I need quickly. I haven't had an issue ordering from here, and I usually check here first when needing to buy something.

Automation Direct is a more cost effective solution to other suppliers. Their selection and presentation make purchasing a breeze.

Keep up the good work have a great day happy holidays

I was looking for a switch that my customer needed and your representative was very helpful. He suggested an alternate product that you had in stock and assisted all the way through with the order. Great job!

Excellent company, my labs wound not have near the materials available to the students without them.

I've been using Automation Direct for over 10 years now. Their product pricing is still very competitive even with the most recent supply chain increases. Their customer support is professional and never fail to resolve an issue. Keep up the good work!

Realmente me gustan los PLC de la familia Click. Faciles de manejar, una interfaz de programacio amigable y sobretodo, un soporte de AD formidable

Good parts, quick delivery, no hassles! Thanks!

Very good quality I can find what I need If I have any questions I call and get a quick answer

Really good prices compared to local distributors.

The technical support team in my experience has always been readily available and knowledgeable. There is a huge advantage to not having to wait for a call back and being able to move forward with your day.

I've been a customer for the past 12 years and I have greatly benefited from the constantly expanding product line from Automation Direct. I also appreciate the learning content that they put out because it is so valuable to my growth as an engineer.

Excelente servicio en el acceso de las especificaciones del producto a comprar. Excelente precios muy competitivos. Y por ltimo y no menos importante, el Excelente servicio de entrega.

I've used this company for years, and they consistently deliver high-quality automation products at competitive prices. Their customer support is excellent. I've reached out multiple times over the years, and they're always quick to help with knowledgeable answers. It's clear they prioritize both product quality and customer satisfaction, making them my go-to for automation needs. The ordering process is smooth, and delivery has always been prompt. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable auto

Automation direct has the best service in America. I love this company and they make amazing products that meet my needs everytime. Without their help I don't know where I would be at. Good job to everyone in the company.

Quality and fit were good, as expected.

Automation Direct is my go-to place, especially for PLCs and HMIs. BRX PLCs offer great performance for a very low price, but they lack in two areas. I hope there will be upgrades to the modules of the PLC. More particularly, I would like to see a fast update rate 24-bit Analog (Voltage) card with 0.01% accuracy. I would also like to see EtherCAT communication. These upgrades will help the BRX PLCs to stand out!

have some of the best prices, always gets the product here fast! I've been using AD for a long time and seen how they grow. great place

As a small business owner and someone who has to do a lot of their own maintenance I really appreciate Automation Direct's service. Their website is excellent and offers up Support that you didn't even know you needed until you look into it further. It has saved me a lot of time in trouble. However, when I've gotten to the point I could not help myself their technical support was there, without extended wait times, friendly, and knowledgeable. All the way around a great company. Oh, and their prices are competitive as well.

Very nicely built and competitive pricing

Really nice specification documentation on the differences between OPT2151 and OPT2152 to understand which will be needed for your application. Price for the part is also great.

AutomationDirect has reliable quality and pricing. I can almost always find a product I'm looking for. I go to other vendors for niche items or special cases. Their customer support is truly unparalleled. I've contact them dozens of times over the years. They're polite, professional, and helpful. I always get my questions answered and a working solution provided.

Vast selection of hardware from a plethra of different vendors. Prices listed, 3D and 2D CAD download links easily accessible.

Automation Direct has a great selection of quality products at good prices and their customer support people have been helpful and informative.

Products are working as expected. Selection was adequate. Support was excellent.

I love the instant prices, wide variety of products, easy return policy, customer service, and based in USA. I just wish this place was closer I would enjoy taking a tour.

Always able to help me find what I am looking for. tech is a big help with the PLC

The $40 fix vs buying the same cable from the machine manufacturer for $1K because they won't sell just the cable... Quality parts and lots of selection. I will keep coming back.

Definitely can't beat the free 2 day shipping policy on top of fair pricing. I've talked to support a few times, they're friendly and very quick to help.

Nice to finally have one source of so many components, for fair prices too. Customer support has been top notch so far - steps above many other vendors.

Aways got what I ordered and on time, thanks

My purchases were a capital Expenditure project we are new sister company our products are oil & gas related, Part of our final inspection is to run in the fan motors for 3rd party inspection motors range from 5-50hp voltage 380-480 50-60 hertz. I went out for several bids over all prices availabilities beat all others, all products are superior. Online Categories is very user friendly

Easy to work with and friendly lots of products and great prices

Everything I needed..... you have it, Fast shipping, great communication. THANKS!!

Honestly for the price you can't beat their products. Their PLCs are simple and easy to use with no licensing issues.

I'm extremely happy with the how easy it it to order on-line. I like working later in the evening after the family has went to bed. It makes it very nice just having the option to order late or get design documents.

great products, great prices, but do not buy a ac motor from here. the company will not warranty it "I need a regal invoice to pull up the necessary information on my end.", and Automation can not help you. "This item was sold directly to you. We do not show anything on this order that has to do with Regal Rexnord, so we have nothing that we can send. This order was entered on our webstore so we did not receive a PO."

As an Industrial Motor Control Instructor I rely heavily on good quality products. Our students put these components through the test every day. The quality of the components compared to their value is fair. The components are not overly priced and do hold up for many years. The product selection is wide and adaptable for many applications. I have been able to replace broken parts on our trainers with similar products from Automation Direct. Customer support has been exceptional considering our needs.

My go-to for automation parts. What really stands out for me is their customer service. Whenever I've had questions or needed help, they've responded quickly and made sure I had exactly what I needed. The shipping is fast too, which is a huge plus when you're working on tight deadlines. The PLCs could be a bit more advanced but honestly you are buying the quick and simple option. I would like to see Brand name big players being sold here.

I have never ceased to be amazed buy the quality, availability and quick turn-around of Automation Direct products. The brands represented here are among some of the best in the world, and the customer service cannot be beat. Awesome job ladies & gentleman!

I was previously using automation direct as a student and now working as an industrial electrician the vast product selection and consistently low prices have kept me coming back both for personal projects and finding parts for work.

I've been an integrator and U.L. 508A panel shop for over thirty years and AutomationDirect is my go to supplier for products that are not specified to be a specific manufacturer's. I've been a customer ever since PLCDirect was founded in the mid 90's and believe it or not, I have original Koyo PLC's that are still in operation from way back then. And their two-day delivery has saved my butt a number of times. Can't say enough good about this company.

highly impressed by automation direct and their products

I have had nothing but good luck with Automation Direct. The products have always arrived in a timely manner and in good condition. I appreciate all of the support literature available for the products and the ease of finding it as well as the learning material available on the site. I would absolutely suggest Automation Direct to anyone looking to build or repair equipment.

Automation Direct is always at the top of my list when i need automation supplies!

Easy to deal with. Competitive prices. Fast shipping

AutomationDirect provides great service. Customer support service is very good and quick. I am buying from them from almost 5 years, I don't have a single complaint. They got wide range of items related to automation devices and quality is super as compare to price.

Always a good source for finding parts that we need Fast and free shipping is a big plus especially when we are in the middle of the pacific Thumbs up with the good service

I love using Automation Direct. It's very easy to use and part numbers easy to look up. The quality of the parts are great and the value is fair. You can't beat the free two-day shipping. Everything I have ordered has been correct and on time, so I have not delt with customer support.

Website is very easy to navigate Great selection Great Stock Great pricing Fast Delivery

Have never been disappointed in price or have received a broken/defective product.

(Tech Support Rep) was a pleasure to work with and was very helpful in trouble shooting.

Great products at a great price and shipped quickly!

Love these products. Good quality and good price

Your company is great, always has just the right product for me.

Always have what I need and more. Prices are great.

We value the competitive pricing, quick shipping, and thorough product documentation, which are all beneficial for project planning and execution.

Great company and great products. They have what I need

We purchase the majority of our electrical-controls from AD, and have for 10+ years. they stand behind their products and their customer support has been top-notch. A great company to work with.

Absolutely amazing company. Cost effective products with real value. Capabilities that rival or exceed the bigger industry names, and I can get almost everything in a couple of days. Not sure what I would do without them, as they have saved me so many times.

Automation Direct has never disappointed, they always have what we need and in a timely manner. Free shipping is a great benefit to us as well. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!

Automation Direct has great prices and I always can find the information I need. I have been using Automation Direct for years.

Automation direct has very good price and products, and here, what we most like it how fast they delivery our products, it aways come on time and in good packages.

love this place.....its our main source of supplies. my only gripe is.....if they would do rewards for companies that uses them as their main source. its a small gripe because their pricing is so good...had to come up with something. Customer service is awesome!

Automation Direct has become a go-to supply chain within our company.

I am verry impressed with the fast service the awesome website is easy to use would definitely recommend

Website is easy to navigate, parts are affordable and of high quality.

I like this company because they are getting more brands on the items, that helps to have more options.

The products are reasonable priced & the technical support team do know their stuff.

Automation Direct is awesome. Great Selection, Tech Support and Great Customer Service.

I have been using AutomationDirect products since well before they were AutomationDirect. My experience with their products started with the GE Series 1 PLC and I continued using them through their TI years and PLC Direct years and am still using them. I am pretty sure that I was one of their first customer accounts after they formed as PLCDirect and I know I purchased their first data acquisition product JNet. They have come a long way since those days and I use a large quantity of their products.

Automation Direct is an excellent resource! Everything from PLCs to Pneumatic components. Easy to navigate, well laid-out website makes purchasing quick and easy. Pricing, availably, and lead times more often than not beat the competition.

The go-to for automation-related items. Fast shipping and reasonable prices with accurate inventory/back order status.

Always easy ordering from Automation Direct. I know what's available and won't have to wait long with fast shipping. I find myself looking here first for electrical and now diving into more of the automation side.

Automation Direct is a great place to order parts for us Very quick deliveries and a vast variety of components. They also have great support when I've had questions about any products.

I have been ordering from Automation Direct for a number of years and they have always had a great selection. Generally their parts are well priced to their quality. I've used their parts quite a bit in my controls.

Automation Direct is a great source for any electrical and/or automation supplies you need. Their pricing is great along with the fast shipping!

Very good online service. easy to place orders.

I really like most of the Automation Direct items. Everything is usually in stock and next day delivery is great. However, receiving emails in the middle of the night to ask for a REVIEW?!?! I have my phone set up for my work email to notify me and this morning at 3:02 AM I got an email for a review. I think the last one I got was after 1:00 AM. Please schedule these non-time-critical emails to be sent during business hours. This is why customer support gets a 2 rating.

Always my first stop when I am looking for parts. I can find what I need, and the price is always good. Most times my parts are in stock and if not, they get them to me quickly. Keep up the good work.

Excellant company. Good dependable products at an excellant price point. Service is excellant as well.

I have zero complaints. They send me what I ask for and when I ask for it. Their inventory has saved my hide more than once.

Great product for industrial applications. We made with quality materials.

One of the best suppliers I work with. And delivery is always fast. Very competitive prices for very good quality equipment.

This is an example of your "award winning technical support"? Hi Josh. Thank you. I have recommended to the Company to disregard the Automation Direct solution and move to the Allen Bradley Armor Block system. Though more expensive, it has superior technical support needed to ensure a smooth installation. Kindest regards, ADC Support

Very happy with everything that i have ever purchased with you!!! Always arrives when you say it will or earlier and never the wrong parts very satisfied with your service!

Automation direct is a go to keep our business running.

Automation Direct has been my "Go-To" for years. You cannot beat the prices.

There are few vendors I look forward to working with. AutomationDirect is one of those. The products are quality, the price is right and the shipping speed is always fantastic (and in my experience often faster than promised). From components and wire to CLICK PLC's I have been very happy with all of my AutomationDirect experience's for years, and look forward to using them for years to come.

I can only give 4/5 on customer support because I have never used it. All the technical info I've ever needed is readily available and have not had any bad experiences.

The only thing I would like to be done better is the way products are shipped to us. Orders usually come in multiple boxes, each only filled to 40-50%. Weight is not an issue in these shipments. This increases our shipping cost considerably.

A quality product, competitive pricing, and customer support whenever you need them.

Everyone at Automation Direct was very helpful and got the order shipped quickly.

One of my favorite websites to use for ordering parts. Very user friendly. Some parts are a bit lower quality, but these still have there place.

Good website. Information is very easy to find on the product

I've been using ADC products professionally and personally for a few years now. I appreciate that they keep the buying process simple and provide support for their customers. They know how to cater to small time individuals and larger businesses by not locking down hardware and software. It makes it an easy sell to my customers when they know they can access everything that I can.

I called about a drive that was under warranty. I was escalated to the returns team. I was incredibly frustrated by a requirement for the drive serial number to initiate the return, because the drive is installed in a commercial package sitting on a customer site within a refinery, so we can't just waltz over there to grab a data tag, and our customer is down. However, my technician happened to have the serial number. When I called back, (ADC returns expert) went above and beyond to expedite resolution. Much appreciated.

Everything is usually in stock and shipped immediately. Great service great product

Automation always has the occasional rare item that i can not source. and the pricing with free shipping is alway fair and reliable.

I have had little to no problems with Automation Direct. Tech support has been awesome. The few items I have had problems with Automation Direct was quick to make it right. It's hard for me to go anywhere else when I get this kind of service and support. Good job AD!

Most everything I need is in stock all the time, super fast shipping, awesome customer support from knowledgeable staff.

Great service and fast speed. I love your technical support and your high knowledge of product saves our lot of time. Thanks.

As an integrator serving many different industries and client companies from small to large, we often find that Automation Direct has many parts we need available when we need them at a price that allows us to provide solutions to clients that won't break the bank. Customer service is the absolute best we have dealt with. Keep up the great work in serving the automation industry

I can almost always find what I am looking for or an alternative that works just as well from Automation Direct. Thank you for keeping it simple and fast.

been using Automation Direct for years.. have not found anything better.. love the ease of website.

Automation Direct is our go-to supplier for machine building needs. Their prices are always competitive and you can immediately see what they have in stock and what they do not. This helps speed up BOM creation and project cost compared to traditional methods of putting together parts lists and sending out to quote at a variety of companies. ADC's product selection is great but could add additional resources in advanced measurements and inspections such as vision systems.

We've used AutomationDirect for years and have never been let down. Doing a lot of control design and installation for our customers has made AutomationDirect critical to our success. The combination of large selection, great prices, and top-of-the-line tech support are simply unbeatable!

I considered this PLC easy to use and at a very good price. Communications went perfectly.

Automation direct is always one of the first suppliers I look to for electronic/automation needs. The prices can't be beat and the selection is incredible. Very glad I discovered them.

Great products, I love this company! Awesome service

Happy with purchase. Will purchase again

Great service fast shipping easy to order parts

I've consistently found Automation Direct to be exceptionally reliable. Their extensive product inventory ensures that I can always find what I need, and their swift shipping guarantees that I receive my orders promptly. Moreover, their PLC selection is commendable, offering a diverse range to suit various needs. Overall, Automation Direct consistently delivers on quality, convenience, and selection.

We use Automation direct for the inventory they have, documentation of items on line and web site is easy to use. Also let you know when items that are back ordered have been re-stocked

Always have a positive experience with Automation Direct!

We've been using Automation Direct for at least 12 years now. They ship fast. The prices are reasonable. The products seem to hold up over time. While all that is good, what keeps us coming back is the customer service and support. It would be difficult to find a more responsive support team with the same depth of knowledge.

Automation Direct is my main supplier of industrial parts and supplies! Everything from pneumatic push connectors to control panel switches are top-notch at a great price point. Product availability has been a bit of a struggle lately, but they're upfront on whether an item is in stock. I love their cheap PLCs! The programming software doesn't compete with the name brands, but the hardware is cheap, reliable, and great for small to medium-sized projects. Customer support is absolutely excellent too!

I love how it's easy to get instant pricing. Many of the products have exceeded my expectations. Whenever I need help from Tech Support, they are top notch.

seems recently out of stock out of a lot of common items. but selection is generally very good and prices cant be beat.

Large in stock selection and fast shipping. Info sheets for all the products I looked at which helped a lot when cross-referencing parts. CAD data helpful for physical fit up verification before purchase.

Is very easy to buy online, there is a lot of product of first quality

Excelente product, easy to program and start up

Great products at a great price and most of my orders arrive by the following business day.

I will have to say that Automation Direct is a top notch company. The latest order we placed with them was handled quickly and we received the items faster than we could have expected as we are located in Alaska. So many other companies around are slow to ship items here. We will for sure recommend them to all of our customers as well other companies in Alaska. Thanks for the excellent service.

We have always amazing support from Automation Direct, whether it be finding the correct item or tech support. The shipping and ease of ordering are above and beyond the ordinary in this field..

Great selection of quality products at reasonable prices delivered promptly.

We are a paper manufacturer. One of our machines was down due to a bad safety relay switch. We're talking $5k per hour lost production. The rep i spoke to was knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. We had you expedite the items overnight. Saved us from a lot more down time. Will definitely be purchasing from you again
