Industrial Panel Solutions (IPS) is a
UL-certified, full-service industrial control panel manufacturing facility that
provides high quality, fast track solutions for our partners through agile
manufacturing. We serve a wide range of industries, including:
- Packaging

- Parcel

- Oil and Gas
- Bio-Fuels/Ethanol
- Manufacturing
- Conveying
Many industries such as pharmaceutical or food/ingredient
manufacturers require very specialized control panels. Safety laws and
procedures must be followed in order to guarantee production floor hygiene and
safe food and material handling processes. Highly accurate data collection,
record keeping and labeling are also an important factor for these industries.

This panel will be used in a food manufacturing plant and
will be part of an automated system that will start with raw ingredients, and
finish with a packaged and labeled product. This panel will utilize two Allen
Bradley Control Logix 17-slot PLC’s and 25 I/O modules. Processes these PLC’s
will control include:
- Mixing
- Heating
- Drying
- Tumbling
- Coating
- Filling
- Packaging
These PLC’s will also collect and record information about
the product throughout these procedures, such as:
- Temperature
- Moisture Levels
- Quantities
We incorporated a Hoffman sloped-top watershed stainless
steel NEMA 4X enclosure, which will allow it to be washed down and sterilized
without jeopardizing the integrity of any components within.
IPS can help design panels to suit each client’s specific needs, from small pushbutton controllers to large VFD and PLC panels. Our dedicated staff, along with their experience and expertise will ensure your panels are designed and manufactured to fit your specifications.
