Newark's online electronics catalog for industrial automation and control simplifies the purchasing process

CHICAGO – March 14, 2013 With the demands for efficiency greater than ever for North American manufacturing facilities, leading electronics distributor Newark has developed a new online catalog with advanced functionality that helps to streamline the selection and purchase of products for industrial automation and control.

For example, the industrial automation and control catalog offers multiple ways to find the right product: users can browse by product category or manufacturer or search by keyword or part number. Pricing and current availability data are instantly visible by hovering over a part number, and one click takes the user into a detailed information page with access to 24/5 live technical support and a shopping cart.

Users can also customize their own PDF versions of the catalog by selecting a page range, product category or manufacturer.

Newark element's extensive product offering is available for same-day shipping and covers everything from industrial computing and process control, sensors, line protection and cable management to environmental test equipment. All best-in-class suppliers are represented, including Eaton, Honeywell, IDEC, Molex/Daniel Woodhead, Omron, Schneider Electric, TE Connectivity, Agilent Technologies, Fluke and Tektronix.

"Industrial engineers face complex and demanding tasks every day," said Richard Halliday, Director of Product Management, Newark. "Our new product catalog for industrial automation and control provides them with a convenient source for everyday electronics, as well as deep technical information and support from our team of engineers."

The catalog can be accessed from Newark's resource-rich industrial automation microsite offering exclusive technical information organized by application areas, such as Programmable Logic Control.
