Design

Appearance speaks volumes about a company and a product. Many times we tend to “judge a book by its cover”, and we understand that our “cover” is our systems. With this in mind, we take designing systems very seriously at South Coast Controls. Our engineers and technicians work together to lay out our control panels as methodically as possible, including placement of larger parts, such as variable frequency drives and transformers. When a product arrives for a build, our technicians lay out all material on the inner panel to ensure that there is no need for adjustment in panel size and that all products are present. Once completed our engineers review the layout, make any other adjustments as necessary then approve the design and incorporate it into the jobs auto cad drawing package.

This method has been utilized by our company for the last 20 years, and has helped us design some of the most professional-appearing and reliable control panels on the market today!

Engineering

Originally a division of our sister company Coast Pneumatics, our company was founded on the principle of engineering thanks to our head engineer and one of our founders, Scott McLain. When the late founder of Coast Pneumatics, Harry O. Ellis Senior, noticed Scott and his son, Harry Ellis Junior, were building control panels in the back of his shop, he proposed a separate venture for the two. That is when these two best friends since high school, Harry Junior and Scott McLain, opened South Coast Controls. The company quickly developed into a value-added provider, skilled in areas that other control panel businesses lacked. With highly experienced engineers, programmers, technicians, and other employees, South Coast Controls offered capabilities such as: complete support, quick turnaround times, in-house testing, and much more. Today, South Coast Controls provides even more value-added capabilities. We are a panel partner to some of the largest manufacturers and brands in the industry, like Siemens and Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation), which helps us ensure that we have the access to resources that others do not!

Testing

When you entrust in a company to fabricate and build a control system, you want the assure that your system will consistently work as expected, and is built in a thoughtful and methodical manner. Here, at South Coast Controls, we understand that any issues in the field because of a system glitch or failure can lead to a heavy increase in costs, disgruntled clients, and possibly the loss of opportunities. We pride ourselves on customer service, and take all precautions necessary to ensure that our systems work to our clients specifications. All of our systems are 100% tested before delivery. Whether it is smoke testing or scenario testing, our engineers and team always test the system. When higher level systems are brought to us, our engineering team does a mock test that completely replicates how the system will perform. With customized testing, we know that rest is assured for our customers.

Let us show you our advanced testing protocol, and how it is better than our competitors!

Local Delivery

When it comes to couriers, not only is it costly, but there is often the risk of your products safety. Many couriers have incredibly loose handling restrictions, and practices such as: double stacking, quickly loading and uploading, and much more. It can be tough to have confidence that your system will arrive unharmed with many of their couriers. With this in mind, our management team made the decision to invest in a company delivery truck that would help reduce these risks and ease our customers minds. We deliver local to the Orange County area, call today to see if we can deliver to your area (888) 308-9226!

Trust that you can depend on our team to deliver undamaged and unharmed systems!
