Discrete Manufacturing: Notable Projects

Selected work from our UL 508A panel shop and controls engineering team.

Test-cell power and control line-up for a drive manufacturer's factory test floor

2025

Eight assemblies:

  • 690 V multi-drive test panels

  • 480 V test and load panels

  • a 690 V breaker panel

  • a PLC + touch-screen station

Designed, built in our UL 508A shop, delivered in stages into a live construction site, then programmed and commissioned on site.

UL 508A control panel for a robotic work cell, on a deployment deadline

2025

A PLC and safety-controller panel for a robotics company's work cell, built and UL-inspected on an expedited schedule. A late-added power supply was absorbed into the build, and the box shipped the day of its UL inspection for on-site commissioning.

Machine and plant monitoring systems

2026

DIN-rail power and current monitoring on CNC lathes and machining centers, plus gateways in NEMA 4X enclosures, with electrical schematics and a Modbus address map. A second, multi-building system (analog-input and current/voltage panels, gateway boxes, cable schedule) is being built in 2026.

Scale: About ten machines at one plant; a multi-building system at another.
