Industrial Control Panels-UL Certified



KMC Global Controls & Automation is a UL-certified production facility with a full team of experienced technologies engineers and acts as a single source for custom panel design and build, programming, service and support, consultation and full project management from start to finish.

"Relay panels or outdated controls are typically dependent on manual operations," said a company spokesperson. "By updating a control platform, steps in production can be automatically controlled and programed to provide machine feedback and fault management-decreasing downtime. For equipment manufacturers, the right control systems supplier will help avoid or eliminate project management uncertainties and set-up costs and reduce product time to market."

Custom panel design/build features include:

  • UL 508A applications
  • Tailored to customer's application
  • NEMA ratings and standards
  • Hazardous locations (purge and explosion proof)
  • Single and multi-door
  • Wall mounted and freestanding
  • Stainless steel and painted.

Available automation features include analog signaling, weighing systems, batch weight control, gravimetric weight control, preprogrammed and on-site programming and start-up and commissioning.

Programming platforms include Allen Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Unitronics and more.

Benefits include:

  • Reduced time to market for process manufacturing and OEMs-Steps in the manufacturing process can be automatically controlled while also providing machine feedback and fault management to decrease downtime. For equipment manufacturers, the right control systems supplier can help avoid or eliminate project management uncertainties and set-up costs and reduce product time to market.
  • Improved quality-Automated systems' increased accuracy results in higher quality output, streamlining processes and reducing errors.
  • Safer workplace-"Our controls can incorporate all manner of safety control devices," said Larry West, Sales and Automation Manager at KMC. "In the industrial controls world, we have a class system for determining a level of safety customers may need. We can design our controls to adhere to any level."
  • Increased output and efficiencies reduce costs-"We can automate processes, give feedback and manage faults. Additionally, applying devices such as a variable frequency drive (VFD)-also known as a variable speed drive-can be used to tune the operation for better efficiencies," West said. "Other devices such as limit switches and sensors can be added to further automate a process and gain more throughput."
  • Reduced labor-Remotely monitoring equipment provides real-time data, allowing for proactive actions when maintaining equipment and production schedules.
