Industries

We work in a wide variety of industries ranging from automotive and heavy industrial equipment to food processing and grain handling. Our engineering staff of industry- and thought-leading engineers works closely with you to determine the correct technological approach for your needs, keeping functionality in mind. You can expect a complete, concise and accurate system designed with practical maintenance, modification and expansion capabilities in place. Be assured your control system will be delivered to meet your needs and perform to your expectations.

Kasa's geographic marketplace is worldwide. Although, the majority of our systems are located in the United States, we have control systems in China, Indonesia, Thailand, India, South America, Canada, Israel, Egypt, Mexico, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, England and Korea. 

Automotive

The U.S. automobile industry is worth over $80 billion and accounts for roughly 3% of the U.S. GDP. Facilitating, managing, and producing cars plays a vital role in supporting the economy. An automotive manufacturing plant will often contain a wide variety of conveyors used to move the car body along mechanisms while it is in the building process.

At Kasa, we do not provide the conveyors or the equipment, but we know how to control these systems and tools using PLCs, HMIs, various software and other control equipment, so they do their jobs as intended. These controls help ensure the material or the car is handled safely and efficiently during the manufacturing process.

Grain Handling

Grain facilities also rely on conveyor belts similar to the automotive industry to move commodities throughout their facilities. The plant needs to correctly choose the path the grain must follow in order to store it in the correct location to maximize the mix of grains and obtain the greatest potential profit for the facility. Since grain dust is also potentially explosive, all systems need to be closely monitored for safety. Kasa has created software to manage the entire operation of many grain facilities. Through that software we can integrate with the hazard monitoring systems common in today’s grain elevators. Our software communicates to and with each piece of equipment in the grain handling system to functionally operate at the correct time, in a safe manner, to move the grain to or from storage appropriately while removing the chances of errors common when these items are done manually without automation.

Kasa's software helps prevent mixing commodities, alerts operators of potential dangers before significant damage, and allows systems to run automatically and often with less personnel in grain facilities from small to extremely large. We often also help reduce grain facility utility charges related to peak demand by sequencing on equipment so peak loads are diminished as well as other forms of utility monitoring.

Industrial Paint Systems (via IntelliFinishing)

Kasa’s dba IntelliFinishing is a complete conveyorized finishing systems provider. Our unique finishing system supplies new levels of automation to the industrial paint industry, including for powder coating and liquid painting applications. With IntelliFinishing, individual carriers of parts on the conveyor can operate independently of other carriers throughout the entire system. The system relies on smart control technology and our modular, friction-tube based, conveyor.

IntelliFinishing systems use carriers racked with parts to be painted that move throughout the system based on recipe instructions for each carrier. The recipes dictate how long a carrier will remain in each process throughout the system. Our smart control system dictates carrier speed, direction, and process steps at any point within the system. These capabilities mean that the system can slow down or stop in process areas and speed up in non-process zones. We can even direct parts to move along different pathways, backwards, or laterally depending on the conveyor design. Ultimately, this provides a system that can finish a much wider assortment of parts than traditional conveyorized options since each type of part is processed based on the recipe most appropriate for it, whereas traditional overhead conveyors rely on chains that link all parts hung together. Traditional finishing conveyors offer very little ability to change a part’s recipe.  

IntelliFinishing systems are most popular within the metal finishing industry, and the system's flexibility has allowed users to create products with the highest quality in finish, with higher throughput, and with the ability to change process or even grow the systems over time based on changing finishing needs.

Baggage Handling

Air travel and airports have an abundance of moving parts to their operation system - literally and figuratively. One important aspect of a trip is to make sure the customer's belongings get to and from the right place at the right time. 

Integrating our smart controls into baggage handling conveyor systems allows greater flexibility and automation in checking weight, baggage counting and sorting, and following rigorous security measures. Our unique design allows for a more manageable and productive system. This helps airport operations run more smoothly and travelers to receive their belongings on time.

Parcel

We recognize that thriving industries have many moving parts, and we're here to help speed that along. Kasa Parcel Automation provides the operational controls for many parcel delivery and fulfillment industries. Our controls act as the brain behind the conveyors that control parcel movements and allow companies to streamline the conveyance of their inventory.

Our controls operate efficiently at high capacity, but they also help automate the sortation process, ensuring quality part or product distribution performance and on-time delivery.

Panel Build

At Kasa, we recognize the value of well-built, organized control panels in any controls or automation system. These systems cannot operate without the support of well-made control panels. Our 40,000-square-foot shop is dedicated to building panels. The panels used and implemented in automation combine PLC’s, VFD’s, I/O, comm devices, electrical and data wiring, and switch technologies to allow operators to control entire systems. We also build the  HMI’s (Human Machine Interfaces) with touch-screen computer displays that are the means through which systems are operated by facility personnel.

Our panels are built with our customers in mind - we understand the importance of perfect detail, organized panels, labeled wiring and components, and safe operation using high voltage. Our panels meet with industry compliance standards and offer customization to meet the level of specifications required by even the most demanding of customer needs.

Additional Industries

Kasa doesn't just automate in the industries listed above. We have worked in dozens of other industries. Learn more about our work in additional industries but clicking the title above.
