Industries

At CP Automation, we provide specialised industrial engineer services across a wide range of sectors. From manufacturing to renewable energy, we deliver tailored solutions for maintaining and optimising industrial electric motors and ensuring industrial power quality. Our expertise spans industries like data centres, water treatment and elevators, helping businesses enhance efficiency, reduce downtime, and meet compliance standards. Whether you need motor repairs, power quality management, or turnkey automation systems, our experienced team is here to support your operational needs.

Data centres

In data centres, power disruptions and fluctuations can be costly as well as frustrating. Common issues including voltage sags, swells and spikes, or fluctuations of voltage at the power frequency that exceed the normal level. We can support with our extensive range of power quality measurement devices and resolve issues including harmonics and transients.

Water and wastewater

Electrical equipment used in water treatment facilities include motors, pumps and variable speed drives (VSDs), which can be vulnerable to interference. If left unattended, these power issues can impact productivity, causing unplanned outages and lasting damage to electrical equipment on site.

Cranes

Power and motion control is key to any material handling system or application ― especially those involving cranes and hoists. Recently, CP Automation has expanded its team by creating a dedicated Crane and Power Transmission department, which supplies variable frequency drives and wireless controls for overhead cranes. Since then, we have expanded our range to cater for even more crane projects.

Elevators and lift engineering services

The elevator industry is changing. Several new advancements could revolutionise the way elevators operate including the rise of twin elevator systems, added movement capacities and a growing reliance on smaller motors. As lift technologies evolve, businesses and operators must also adapt to these changes.

Variable speed drives (VSDs) and ancillaries

Where there’s motion, there’s power. variable speed drives, or VSDs, gradually accelerate motors from a standstill to prevent them starting instantly, which produces a large current. Therefore, as well as extending the motor’s service life, VSDs are critical for controlling speed and torque. This makes them ideal for use in cranes, elevators and other industrial applications, where they help prevent wear on the motor and deliver important energy savings.

Power quality

With energy demand increasing, harmonic distortion, reactive power and other disturbances can lead to higher consumption and reduced system capacity. The result? This harms electrical distribution systems and any equipment using them. Our extensive industrial power quality support offering can help keep your site up and running.

Paper

Paper manufacturing is a booming global industry, providing essential paper products, including hygienic paper, nappies and paper towels. In converting facilities, uptime is essential for keeping production running, ensuring consistent quality and quantity of paper output — and meeting customer expectations. Over the years, we’ve worked closely with various customers in the paper industry, and we understand their pain points.
