At Simplex System Controls, we are committed to delivering greater value to our customers through continuous improvement. We invest in innovation to find better ways to solve problems and provide solutions that save time and money.
Our innovation includes leading-edge automation with the use of the Personal Wiring Assistant (PWA) technology. We have incorporated the PWA5000 and PWA6000 machines into our operations, marking a significant step forward in efficiency, precision, and project delivery.
One common challenge in building control panels is wiring efficiency. The cutting, stripping and labeling wires can quickly become a bottleneck, given the hundreds of wires often required for a single control panel. The PWA6000 simplifies the wire process by automating wire preparation completely while enhancing efficiency and ensuring consistent, high-precision results. PWA technology revolutionizes complex wiring applications, increasing accuracy while decreasing labor requirements. This gain enables Simplex to expand production capacity and deliver consistent quality while strengthening our commitment to on-time delivery.
How does it work?
The PWA6000 Wire Processing Center automates end-to-end wire fabrication. This includes cutting to length, striping, ferruling and placing the finished wires between adhesive tapes, in a predefined order, to optimize the preparation of a “wire package” for control panel production. The machine’s capability of handling 12 different wire types, minimizes production time. The wire package provides a predefined wire sequence to optimize downstream assembly, reducing total panel wiring time and associated labor costs.
The systems work alongside our skilled team members, empowering them to focus on customer-centric solutions. Our employees are trained to leverage this new technology, opening new pathways for professional growth while keeping Simplex at the forefront of US manufacturing excellence. “Our investment in the PWA reflects our vision where advanced automation and skilled craftsmanship work hand in hand,” says Kurt Sundberg, President of Simplex System Controls.
As manufacturing continues to evolve, Simplex remains focused on innovation, continuous improvement, and building trusted partnerships that drive success. To see the machine, check out our video featuring the PWA.
