Engineered Solutions

Design, engineer, manufacture

Most of our customers arrive with equipment and a problem, not a finished schematic. We work from either end.

1 · Design

We sit with your equipment and work out what the control system actually has to do — sequences, interlocks, what fails safe and what keeps running.

2 · Engineer

Schematic, line drawing, connection diagram and bill of materials, sized to the real loads and drawn so an electrician can follow it in the field.

3 · Manufacture

Built to UL 508A, tested before it ships, and repeatable on the two-hundredth unit.

Automation design

From your process to a working panel

An OEM knows the machine. We know what it takes to make a control system run it reliably, pass inspection, and be serviceable by whoever answers the call at 2 a.m.

  • Control scheme and sequence of operation
  • Failsafe behaviour — what locks out, what alarms, what keeps going
  • Component selection and load sizing
  • Documentation written for the field, not the file cabinet
Private label

Panels are built and badged under your brand. Support and warranty routes to you, not to us — your customer never has to work out who made the box.

OEM programs

Your brand on the door. Ours off it.

We build production panels under our customers’ names — and we do not publish whose. The panels say enough:

Repeatable to the print, revision-controlled, and supported for the life of the panel — under your name, not ours.

In the box

Built the same way every time

Branch protection, contactor, control relay and a labelled terminal strip on their own rails, behind a legended faceplate. The control assembly lifts out on quick-connects for service — the X-Frame Modular Service System.

A Legacy Controls simplex panel in its NEMA 4X enclosure: legended faceplate with pump running lamp, pump and alarm selectors, contactor and control wiring.
The detail

We plot our own curves.

Every protective device in a panel has a time–current curve. Most shops read them one at a time, off a catalogue page. We plot ours together — the overload, the branch breaker, the control fuses, on one chart — and the panel is specified from what the chart says: each device clears in its own zone, and nothing upstream trips for a fault that belongs downstream.

Document control

Every unit has a record. Every door has a code.

Each panel leaves Mims with a serial, a build record and a code inside the door that opens its own current documents — quick start, manual, specification sheet, troubleshooting guide and terminal diagram. Revise a manual and every panel in the field gets the new one. Nothing to reprint, nothing to mail.

Bring us the process. We’ll engineer the control.

Motor nameplates, sequence, site conditions — a submittal drawing comes back before a panel is built.
