Our Manufacturing Infrastructure
Multiple areas of production are located within the Ahmedabad facility that are designed for both efficiency and quality. Each area has its own purpose with respect to the manufacturing process, and all areas have strict quality protocols in place. The injection moulding zone, which is the primary location for production machinery, takes in raw materials and produces precision enclosures. The injection moulding production area maintains temperature and humidity control to provide optimum conditions for the production process throughout the year. The quality control lab is located next to the production floor, which allows for real-time testing of products that are being manufactured and provides immediate product feedback. No product will leave the facility without being verified. Additionally, the warehouse/logistics area handles all incoming raw materials and all outgoing finished products. Automated storage systems help to keep track of inventory levels and provide proper rotation of materials. The climate in the warehouse protects sensitive materials from exposure to adverse weather conditions in Gujarat. All administrative offices are located adjacent to the production floor so that all management staff can monitor their employees’ production. This integrated strategy allows for compliance with quality standards while adhering to scheduled delivery times.

Temperature control systems maintain precise melt temperatures for each material type. ABS requires different processing parameters than polycarbonate. Our operators understand these nuances and adjust settings accordingly.
Mould maintenance happens on scheduled intervals. Preventive maintenance prevents defects and extends mould life. We maintain detailed records for each mould, tracking cycle counts and maintenance history.
Process monitoring software tracks key parameters throughout production. Injection pressure, cycle time, and temperature data get logged automatically. This data helps identify trends and prevent quality issues before they occur.
In-House Quality Control Lab
All quality begins with the raw material and finishes with the completed product during final inspection. All phases of production are thoroughly tested. No shortcuts and no compromises. Supplier specifications are verified through raw material tests. Every batch produced is also tested for melt flow index, tensile strength, and impact resistance. Color matching systems allow for a consistent appearance in the final product regardless of production runs. Critical dimensions of the final product are verified using coordinate measuring machines. Gauge pins are used to verify the specifications of threads and the location of mounting holes. Surface finish measurements assure that the product maintains a smooth and professional finish. IP65 and IP67 ratings are validated through environmental testing. The enclosure is subjected to pressurized water from all sides during water ingress testing. Dust chamber testing is performed to confirm protection from fine particle ingress. Electrical testing provides assurance that the insulation properties and arc resistance are within acceptable limits. Enclosure could safely house electrical components are verified by high voltage testing. The ability to withstand outdoor conditions will be evaluated by evaluating how the enclosure performs in terms of UV resistance. The adopted procedure simulates the stresses of handling and installation through impact testing. Drop testing from specified heights will verify the structural integrity of the enclosure. Vibration testing ensures that the enclosures are capable of withstanding the stresses of transportation and operation.
Raw Material Sourcing & Testing
The quality of the materials used for enclosures has a direct effect upon their performance. We obtain our materials exclusively from our approved suppliers who have established a proven track record for both quality and reliability. The selection process for approving each of these suppliers utilized a rigorous process of qualification, and all of our ABS resin is supplied from leading petrochemical manufacturers. High-impact grades of ABS resin have been specified for industrial applications; UV-stabilized grades have been specified for outdoor durability; and flame-retardant grades have been specified to meet safety requirements for use in electrical applications. Polycarbonate material offers exceptional impact resistance and temperature stability, while grades of polycarbonate material are selected based upon the specific requirements of an application. For example, some applications require optical clarity; whereas, others must have flame retardant material properties. By blending the two materials, the resulting polycarbonate/ABS blends provide the best characteristics of both types of materials by being chemically resistant to harsh environments, maintaining excellent processing characteristics and thereby enhancing the overall property of the materials. All incoming materials are subjected to inspection/testing to confirm compliance to our requirements before being utilized in production. All incoming materials undergo melt flow testing to verify consistency of the melt flow behaviors expected at the time of the production process; and, mechanical testing is performed to confirm the actual measured strength properties of the incoming materials. Chemical resistance testing is also performed to substantiate that our materials are compatible with the industrial environments in which they will be used. Each manufacturing or assembly operation has a detailed traceability system for the tracking of all materials from the moment they are received until they become a completed product. Lot numbers provide the connection to the raw materials’ certificates for the manufacture of finished enclosures. Tracing of lot numbers provides support for conducting quality investigations and compliance with regulatory requirements.

OEM Partnership Development
OEM partnerships go beyond product distribution. Our commitment is to deliver a complete solution that includes engineering expertise and support, optimizing design, and seamlessly integrating with your existing supply chain. Together, we will provide the means necessary for both companies to achieve a common goal through cooperative relationships.
To begin the process of creating an optimal design, we will first need to understand your application requirements— this involves a detailed review of your environmental conditions, intended method of mounting, and preferred aesthetic as well as functional criteria. We will then develop an optimized design(solving for both functionality and manufacturability) within the confines of those requirements. With the rapid iteration that comes with prototyping capabilities, we will use 3D printing to create inexpensive proof-of-concept models, followed by using soft tooling to create working prototypes for testing.
Supply chain integration allows us to ensure your procurement process is optimized. The use of EDI (electronic data interchange) will automate the ordering and invoicing processes. The use of vendor-managed inventory will allow you to have reduced carrying costs while ensuring that inventory is available when you need it. Engineering change management will assist with the control of changes while facilitating new design improvements. Following either the formal process of implementing a change or providing vendor approval for a design change prevents unauthorized changes to your design. Each time a document is updated, all parties involved in using that document will be notified of the changes.
The quality agreement details the expectations and responsibilities of each organization in relation to the quality of the products they provide to one another. The use of statistical process control data can demonstrate your supplier’s capability to continuously provide an acceptable level of quality. Supplier scorecards provide a means to track relevant vendor performance metrics that are significant to your business.
Factory Control Applications
A factory’s automation systems require dependable enclosure protection from various harsh industrial environments, including dust, moisture, extreme temperatures, and considerable movement (vibration). Our I-closure products will meet these environmental requirements and provide easy maintenance access at all times. The enclosures used within a motor control center must also be strong and robust, able to provide good heat dissipation and adequate protection for standard installations, but there are more choices of enclosures available with polycarbonate products being used for higher temperature ratings and higher impact ratings than ABS products. Variable frequency drives generate a great deal of heat during operation; therefore adequate ventilation must be incorporated into the enclosure design to prevent overheating and maintain ingress protection.
The enclosure should include provisions for mounting external heat sinks or cooling fans. The design of the human-machine interface should include clear viewing windows with an ergonomic design. Polycarbonate provides excellent optical properties and provides good impact resistance. Antireflective coatings should be added to help reduce glare from ambient lighting in the factory.
Safety systems must meet the requirement of providing fail-safe operations and be easily accessible in emergency situations. Brightly colored safety products should improve visibility during emergency situations. Breakaway fasteners should make it possible to quickly access safety systems without using tools.
PLC Enclosure Solutions
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) play a major role in today’s automation systems; Therefore, PLC enclosures need to provide a
complete protection and easy access to programming and maintenance from the inside and outside of the enclosure.
Thermal management capability is significant in high-performance processors. The mounting strategies described here utilize a DIN rail mount type of mounting system to support standard PLC modules and accessories. A standardized mounting pattern also simplifies layout and modification of panels within the enclosure.
Providing adequate spacing between components will help reduce heat buildup in any one area of an enclosure. Cable
management characteristics provide organization of input and output connections from the PLC into external components
and/or devices. Strain relief for cables will help to keep cable from vibrating loose or becoming stressed due to tension.
Cable glands allow for secure connections while meeting the enclosure’s IP rating.
Enclosure ventilation strategies provide a balance between protection and thermal management. Filtered ventilation
allowing air circulation while preventing contamination from entering the enclosure.
Fan mounts will accept standard cooling fans but are necessary in applications that require forced ventilation.
Expandable provisions inside of the enclosure provide space for additional equipment as the system grows and requires changes. Knockout access panels will provide points for connecting more cables.
Modular design, as used in the enclosure, allows for the addition of extensions or enclosures without the need to replace the complete system.
Industrial Automation Integration
All types of modern manufacturing plants use many different types of automated machines all working together as part of one complete manufacturing process. At the same time, the enclosures used for protecting the automated machines will also need to help provide for the integration of these machines whilst still providing the individual protection for each type of automatic machine. Another important consideration is to ensure that standards are being used so that maintenance will be easier and inventory levels of spare parts will be lower.
In an area where there are communication networks being used, it is vital to ensure that cabling between machines is properly installed to provide for proper protection from electromagnetic interference. Separate compartments should be used to isolate power from control circuits. Shielded cables should be used to help prevent electromagnetic interference. Distributed I/O will place the intelligence required for operation throughout the entire plant floor area. Remote I/O modules will need to reside within compact enclosures, especially in small spaces where there is not much room.
To ensure that the automated machines operate reliably in very harsh environments, it is critical to use an enclosure designed with an adequate level of environmental protection. Enclosures will require many different small cable connections when sensors are integrated into the automated machine. Quick-disconnect connectors should be utilized for ease-of-maintenance as well as to facilitate equipment replacement. Weatherproof connections are required for use outdoors, to ensure the reliability of the Automated Machines.
Status indication will assist with system diagnostics by providing visual confirmation that the machine is functioning properly. Transparent covers can provide visual checking of the status of the automated machine without the need to open the enclosure. In addition, materials that are LED compatible do not cause interference with the lighting used for diagnostic purposes.
