Control Panels & Automation Services
What sets us apart is that we’re an engineering company that produces panels—not just a panel shop. We specialize in supporting clients who may not have in-house engineering by providing complete, tailored solutions. Our standalone control panels and automation services support a wide range of industries — from complex, process-critical operations in chemical manufacturing to specialized applications such as brewing and bell tower automation, as well as light industrial uses like furnaces and conveyor systems.
A few key differentiators:
- Programming of PLC/HMI: Many shops handle only assembly. We go further by offering full PLC and HMI programming, reducing the technical burden on the customer—especially valuable for smaller operations.
Process Control Expertise: We design control systems specifically for chemical processes. While many controls engineers come from discrete manufacturing or motion control backgrounds, our team understands how to optimize for process control in demanding applications.
Startup Support: Our involvement doesn’t end when the panel ships. We’re available to assist with startup and commissioning, helping customers bridge the gap between concept and operation.
Our electrical and control systems capabilities include:
Panel Building
Control panels serve as the interface between process operations and automation logic. They house power distribution, instrumentation, and control hardware needed to manage system performance. CG Thermal designs and fabricates custom panels tailored to project-specific requirements — including corrosive environments — for both new installations and system replacements.PLC/HMI Programming
PLC and HMI software coordinates field instrumentation and system logic to ensure safe, efficient, and adaptable operation. We develop application-specific programs for both legacy systems and new builds, with expertise in Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and AutomationDirect platforms.Retrofitting
Retrofitting extends the life and performance of existing systems by replacing outdated automation components. Our retrofit solutions improve functionality, replace obsolete hardware, and boost reliability — with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
System Expansions
Modern PLC-based control systems are modular and easily expanded to incorporate additional processes or equipment. Our team helps clients cost-effectively scale their systems by leveraging existing infrastructure and hardware.Troubleshooting
Reliable diagnostics are critical where aging hardware or outdated logic may impact performance. We provide troubleshooting support for relay-, pneumatic-, and PLC-based systems — including legacy applications such as bell tower automation — through loop tuning, logic revisions, and system optimization.Repair Services
When systems fail, quick and accurate repair is essential. CG Thermal delivers responsive repair services for control panels, PLC logic, and field instrumentation — isolating faults and restoring functionality across modern and legacy platforms.Whether as part of a complete turnkey system or a standalone solution, CG Thermal’s control and automation services are built on the core principles of safety, reliability, and flexibility.
