Requesting quotes for industrial automation projects can be overwhelming without the right information. Incomplete or unclear RFQs often lead to delays, miscommunications, and cost overruns. MWES’ Automation RFQ Checklist ensures you provide the critical details your automation partner needs to deliver accurate, timely proposals—helping you accelerate project planning and reduce risk.
The Challenges of Automation RFQs
Manufacturers often face hurdles when preparing RFQs for automation:
- Incomplete Project Details: Missing specifications, part types, or process requirements
- Unclear Scope: Lack of clarity on automation goals or production volumes
- Timeline Confusion: Misalignment on project milestones or delivery expectations
- Budget Miscommunication: Inaccurate cost estimates due to missing details
Without a structured RFQ, automation providers may struggle to design the right solution, delaying implementation and increasing costs.
