Case Study: South Coast Controls boosts speed and quality with nVent HOFFMAN ModCenter

With Nvent Modcenter Small Business Grows Into Major Player

South Coast Controls, a family-owned control panel manufacturer, had grown rapidly and was struggling to keep up with rising demand. The company was using several employees to manually tap and drill custom enclosure holes, a slow, labor-intensive process that limited capacity, increased the chance of error, and made it difficult to take on more projects.

To address this, South Coast Controls implemented the nVent HOFFMAN ModCenter 293 from nVent to automate panel cutting. The solution reduced setup time by 75% and cutting time by 91.5%, shortened lead times by about nine business days, nearly eliminated enclosure-cutting errors, and improved quality and throughput. nVent’s ModCenter also helped the company free up labor for other tasks, expand into new markets, and achieve payback in less than half the expected two years.
