Electrical & Automation Systems

Overview
Electrical and automation systems form the backbone of modern industrial operations, integrating power distribution with automated controls to streamline processes. These systems enhance efficiency, precision, and safety in applications ranging from production lines to material handling and paint shops. Key components include power control panels, sensors, actuators, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and human-machine interfaces (HMIs), all working cohesively to optimize productivity.
