START WITH THE PROJECT

Send what you have.

You do not need a polished RFQ. A short description, photos, drawings, controller information, equipment lists, existing programs, or a cloud link are enough to start the conversation.

Email help@quillautomation.com Use your preferred email client and attach drawings, photos, programs, or documents.
Phone (785) 727-7212 Lawrence, Kansas. Shop and mobile, so calls reach us either way.
What helps most A photo of the nameplate The controller model, a photo of the existing panel, and whatever drawings you have. Guesses are fine.

CORE CAPABILITIES

Three things we are built around.

01

Control Panel Design & Build

New control panels, replacement panels, machine-control cabinets, layouts, component selection, wiring documentation, assembly, and shop testing.

Components are matched to your plant’s standards and your budget. Where there is no existing standard, we will quote more than one platform option.

  • New and replacement panels
  • Panel rebuilds and modernization
  • Drawing packages and documentation
  • Built and tested in our shop
02

PLC & HMI Programming

New logic, modifications, migrations, HMI development, sequencing, alarms, data handling, commissioning support, and remote programming work.

  • PLC / HMI development
  • Program changes and migrations
  • Alarm and sequence improvements
  • Work in your plant’s existing platform
03

Controls Modernization

Upgrades for machines and systems that still have useful mechanical life but are limited by obsolete, unreliable, or poorly documented controls.

  • Obsolete PLC / HMI replacement
  • Drive and motion upgrades
  • Relay logic conversion
  • Cutover planning around production requirements

FOR MACHINE BUILDERS & INTEGRATORS

Capacity without headcount.

Quill can take defined pieces of controls work when your internal team is full, a project needs additional capacity, or you want panel and programming work completed offsite on a schedule.

Contract panel buildsBuild-to-print or design-and-build panel work for machine builders and integrators.
PLC / HMI overflowProject-specific programming, modifications, migrations, and development support.
Documentation packagesElectrical drawings, I/O documentation, panel schedules, and controls documentation.
White-label supportWhite-label work when you need Quill to operate as an extension of your team.

ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES

Useful work around the core controls package.

SCADA & industrial dataTag mapping, basic supervisory interfaces, historian/data collection support, and practical production-data integration.
Industrial networkingControls-network layout, communications troubleshooting, device integration, and practical network cleanup.
Documentation recoveryRecreate, clean up, or update drawings and controls documentation when existing information is missing or unreliable.
Training & handoffOperator and maintenance documentation, system walkthroughs, and practical handoff after a project.
Remote supportRemote review, programming changes, troubleshooting and follow-up support.
TroubleshootingControls problem-solving, fault diagnosis, and getting to the bottom of the intermittent fault that nobody has had time to chase.

SHOP AND SERVICE AREA

A shop in Lawrence, Kansas.

Panels are built and tested in our own shop. Programming and documentation work can be done remotely, site work covers the Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City corridor, and finished panels ship anywhere.

Shop-builtPanels and assemblies are built and tested in our Lawrence shop.
Remote-capableProgramming, controls design, documentation, and selected support can be completed remotely.
On-siteSite work across the Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City corridor, and northeast Kansas.
ShippedFinished panels and controls packages ship outside the local service area.

PANEL STANDARDS

Built to the standard your job calls for.

Our default build follows UL 508A construction practice — component selection, conductor sizing, terminations, spacings and the documentation that goes with them. Plenty of applications do not require a listing mark at all.

PROJECT FIT

Useful answers before you contact us.

Can you build just the panel?

Yes. Defined panel-only work is a good fit, including build-to-print and design-and-build projects.

Can you take programming without the panel?

Yes. PLC/HMI programming, modifications, migration work, and defined remote support can be quoted separately.

Can you work on an existing machine?

Yes. Retrofits, controls upgrades, documentation recovery and cutover planning around production requirements are core work.

Something is down right now.

Fault diagnosis and controls repair on existing equipment is core work. Use the form below and say what the machine is doing.
