In any operation that relies heavily on machinery—whether it's a packaging line, CNC equipment, or automated systems—reliable, safe, and code-compliant electrical work isn't a luxury… it’s a necessity.

As a licensed electrical contractor, CIS has seen firsthand how poorly executed or unlicensed work behind the scenes can shut down entire production lines.

Here’s why your machinery deserves better:

⚠️ 1. One Loose Wire Can Shut Down the Line

Modern machinery is precise and sensitive. Even a minor voltage fluctuation, a bad grounding job, or a loose termination can cause:

Faulty PLC signals
Motor controller failures
Sensor misreadings
Full system shutdowns

Downtime = Lost Revenue. Don’t let amateur work risk your bottom line.

⚡ 2. Code Compliance Protects You From Liability

When a machine short-circuits or causes injury, the first thing inspectors check is the electrical setup. If it wasn't done by a licensed electrical contractor, you may be held liable—or worse, your insurance may not cover the damage.

At CIS, we ensure all our work aligns with ESA regulations and CSA standards, giving you peace of mind and documentation you can count on.

🔄 3. Machines Upgrade—So Should the Electrical

Adding a new conveyor? Upgrading your robotic arms? Swapping out an older motor for a VFD system? These changes often require adjustments to panels, wire sizing, and overload protection.

CIS works directly with your machine vendors or in-house techs to ensure:

Correct amperage and load balancing
Motor starters and disconnects are sized appropriately
Emergency stops and interlocks are wired properly

This isn’t guesswork—it’s precision work.

🔍 4. Diagnostics & Troubleshooting Require Expertise

When a machine fails, the electrical system is often blamed—but is it the breaker, the drive, the sensor, or the control wiring? We specialize in fault finding and root-cause analysis, so you're not throwing money at parts that aren’t broken.
