Hi, Adam Ring here with Innovative IDM. I want to take a few minutes to talk about UL508A which is basically Underwriters Laboratories and it's a standard for industrial control panel design.

What's it all about? Basically, the idea is you want to be able to
make sure that your control panel is safe, it uses good design practices, it has circuit protection and make sure that certain steps or precautions are taken to make sure that the thing doesn't catch on fire when something goes wrong. 

At the end of the day, basically you need a supplier who's 
UL508 a certified that can make sure all those things are covered and eventually put a sticker inside your control panel that says that it meets all those requirements. 

Now, you could go and do this yourself if you like and a lot of people do...

The challenge is you end up basically paying an annual fee and then a quarterly inspection fee and if you're not really having a demand for a lot of control panels that are you UL508a it ends up being quite expensive for just getting a very little bit of use.

So, one of the things that Innovative IDM can do for you is build UL508a control panels when necessary. We go through all the certifications and pay all the fees so that we can serve customers like you and make sure that you get what you need in a timely manner.
