Building Automation

Electronics manufacturers in the building automation sub-sector face a number of challenges, such as the integration of various systems, ensuring energy efficiency and maintaining reliable operation in dynamic environments.

This complexity is complicated further by the need to enhance comfort, security and efficiency in buildings, while simultaneously delivering a user-friendly experience - this is where we come in.

Our expertise in engineering and design helps tackle these challenges by developing innovative solutions that improve system integration and energy management.

Our custom cable assembly capabilities and bespoke industrial displays enhance the reliability and efficiency of building automation systems, while our collaborative approach to working with customers ensures our products meet safety standards and deliver cost-effective solutions.

Our industrial displays can also be specified in a range of aspect ratios and form factors, to deliver your intended look, feel and usability.

Factory Automation and Robotics

Electronics for use in factories and high-intensity production environments must deliver reliable, efficient performance in a range of harsh environments, operating seamlessly to ensure productivity, safety and cost-effectiveness.

With factory automation increasingly becoming the norm, companies operating in this space need to trust in the hard-wearing build and long-term reliability of their products.

Our engineering capabilities and resources enable us to support the development of high-performance factory automation systems. Plus, our expertise in designing and manufacturing custom cable assemblies ensures that factory automation systems operate efficiently and safely.

We collaborate closely with our customers to develop durable and reliable electronics components for a diverse number of industrial applications, with solutions ranging from flexible cable harnesses and customised connectors to overmoulding or waterproofing cable assemblies for maximum protection against shock, vibration and fluid ingress.

In terms of industrial displays, we can deliver cover lenses for extended protection, touchscreen capabilities for direct user-input, supply displays with longer-life backlights, or specify extended operating temperatures for high- or low-temperature production environments.

Our Certifications

In addition to having ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 approvals, our UK manufacturing facility is approved under the UL Wiring Harness Traceability programme. This means we offer complete traceability on all of the components used in the manufacture of wiring harnesses and defence cable assemblies.

This level of traceability gives our customers the added reassurance that the right components have been used and that their supply chain can be traced. We operate a cell manufacturing process, which results in highly efficient production and high-quality products, and all inspection is in accordance with the IPC 620 standard.

GTK also holds a number of other accreditations that demonstrate our best practices in a several different areas. One such certification, Cyber Essentials, highlights our focus on cybersecurity and data management, ensuring that we safely handle our customers’ sensitive information. We also hold ISO 45001 approval, illustrating our commitment to embedding robust occupational health and safety practices across our operations.
