Why do you 'appear' to see more engineers than panel wirers at LCA Group, but the other way around at our competitors? Well, whilst not an optical illusion, it is best explained by my mantra, we are a place where 'talent & technology' thrive together. So, you see a lot of highly experienced qualified hashtag #engineers who support our long-standing customers across various industries, many of which are highly regulated and specialist. It because of this, we are so proud that 80% of our clients have been with us for 10 years or more – it means we feel part of their teams too. Meanwhile, on the noticeably clean, calm and quiet production floor, there's much of your traditional manual skills handled by technology, and in particular the hashtag #automation that we have invested a significant seven figure sum into over the past few years. So we don't waste time cutting holes in cabinets manually, repeatedly, when our state of the art Rittal Ltd UK machines can do it quickly, efficiently, ever accurate and precise, to leave our panel wirers to do the skilled work that machinery cannot. Enclosures, backplates, glandplates, DIN rail, trunking and anything else glides through our machines – no noisy punches or jigsaws here! Similarly our Komax machine will ensure economical assembly for control cabinet wire preparation from a batch of one and more. In addition, with complete traceability of all cabling from our 'rather large' cable drums feeding continuous supply to a fast efficient prepared labelled output, with or without crimps, our panel wirers get to do the more interesting skilled work the machine can't do! The combination of our people and our automation equipment mean we can delivery big on capability and capacity - Why not come and tour our facilities for yourselves soon?

An article I wrote last week on everyone's favorite topic - Value Engineering in Lighting - for US Lighting Trends that I hope you will enjoy. It was fun to write about the unique lighting challenges in electrical with some ideas on how you as a distributor, lighting agent, manufacturer and electrical contractor can navigate "value engineering" more effectively over the long term. P.S. If you are in the electrical channel US Lighting Trends is a great follow for channel news on Lighting. Sam Watts Stacey Felzer David Gordon Mark Sommers if you have additional comments on the article or suggestions I would love to hear them. US Lighting Trends https://lnkd.in/edc4aMcb

In the realm of electrical engineering, innovation isn't limited to the internal workings of our systems. Coloured switchboard panel doors, while aesthetically pleasing, serve several practical functions for our customers. Some reasons why our customers customise with colour: Enhanced Safety: Colour-coding switchboard panel doors can create a visual cue that can help prevent accidents. Different colours can indicate various voltage levels, types of circuits, or specific functions. Improved Efficiency: In large installations with numerous panels, quickly identifying the correct switchboard can save valuable time. Colour-coding allows engineers to immediately locate the right panel, whether they are performing routine maintenance or addressing an emergency. This efficiency can lead to faster response times and reduced downtime. One of our data centre customers uses colour very effectively in this way. Customisation and Branding: Beyond functionality, colour-coded panels can be customised to reflect a company’s branding or specific operational requirements. This not only contributes to a professional appearance but also allows for a degree of customisation that can align with corporate identity or industry standards. Just tell us the colour and we’ll do the rest 🌈 Call the team for more information 👇 Tel: (+44) 01723 871112 Email: Sales@controlandpower.co.uk #SwitchboardDesign #CriticalPower #ElectricalEngineering

When selecting technology, whether for new construction of a renovation, it is important to obtain details about the advantages and disadvantages of open versus proprietary systems to make an informed choice among the various possibilities. Since an extremely high degree of flexibility is required over the entire lifecycle of a building, the planners should consider the not only current situation, but also other usage options that may develop in the future. Therefore, components should be available over the long term, and should meet established open technology standards. Various fieldbuses have become established in building applications. They are especially suited for certain applications, for example, SMI for blind control, and DALI for lights.
