Sustainability

At Reliance Automation, sustainability is embedded in how we design, deliver, and support automation solutions. We are committed to advancing responsible environmental, social, and governance practices by helping organisations operate more efficiently, intelligently, and sustainably.


Aligned with the principles of the United Nations Agenda 2030, our approach focuses on delivering tailored automation solutions that reduce energy consumption, minimise waste, and lower carbon emissions—creating measurable, long-term impact for our clients and the environment.

Sustainability at Reliance Automation extends beyond policy. It is a practical, results-driven mindset that influences how we innovate, collaborate, and operate. By empowering businesses through smarter automation, we support positive outcomes for the environment, our people, and the communities in which we work.

Solar Panels

Reducing Our Footprint

Since installing solar panels, we’ve reduced carbon emissions by 4.85 tonnes per month.

  • Removing 10 passenger cars monthly
  • Saving energy for 6 average homes/year

Plug and Play – Electric Actuators

When replacing pneumatic cylinders with electric ones, energy savings of 60 to 90 percent can be achieved. This is because the generation and distribution of the necessary compressed air is associated with very high losses that can only be optimised to a limited extent.

Optimise Your Energy Use

For some of you, energy consumption remains at 50% when your production line is idle. With new generation of controllers, you can program your robot systems to enter hibernation mode. This cuts energy consumption by 40% when robot drives are off

Extending Product Lifespans and foster resource reuse

We aim to contribute to a circular economy by assisting you in prolonging the lifespan of components, systems, machines, and even assembly lines through services such as repair, retrofitting, or remanufacturing.


Innovation

Driving Measurable Environmental Outcomes

Through tailored automation strategies, we enable organisations to significantly reduce their environmental impact while maintaining peak performance.

Reduce energy consumption by optimising equipment runtime, sequencing, and load management

Lower carbon emissions associated with inefficient processes and unnecessary energy use

Minimise material waste and rework through improved accuracy, control, and repeatability

Reduce peak energy demand through intelligent scheduling and real-time system optimisation


Innovation

Metrics That Matter

Our automation solutions are designed to deliver clear, trackable performance improvements, ensuring transparency and continuous optimisation.

Percentage reductions in energy usage per system or process

Decreases in CO₂ emissions linked to operational efficiency gains

Improved energy intensity metrics (energy per unit produced)

Reduced downtime and extended asset life through predictive monitoring

Reducing Our Footprint – Electric Vehicles

We are on track to convert 50% of our company fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) by January 2025. This transition will cut our carbon emissions by an additional 3.1 tonnes per month! The equivalent to eliminating the emissions from approximately 7,700 miles driven by a gas-powered car each month!

Tailored, Scalable Solutions

Every organisation is different. We work closely with our customers to design automation solutions aligned to their operational goals, sustainability targets, and regulatory requirements. Our solutions are scalable, future-ready, and built to deliver long-term value across multiple sites and systems.


By embedding sustainability into automation design, Reliance Automation enables organisations to achieve measurable impact—today and into the future.
