In today’s fast-paced industrial world, production lines are only as strong as their weakest component. While big machines often get the spotlight, it’s the small, often-overlooked parts that can make or break an operation. A failed sensor, relay, or drive may seem minor in cost, but the downtime it creates
For facilities across the Midwest, efficiency and reliability aren’t optional—they’re essential. Whether in manufacturing, water and wastewater, HVAC, or food processing, industrial operations depend on motor control solutions that deliver consistent performance while reducing costs. That’s why so many facilities turn to Lakeland Engineering Equipment Company for Yaskawa Drives. As
In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, efficiency and quick decision-making are more critical than ever. One way manufacturers and facilities can achieve both is through human-machine interfaces (HMIs). Red Lion HMIs, available through Lakeland Engineering Equipment Company, provide operators with intuitive, real-time control over machines and processes, right at their fingertips.
Control systems are the brains of water and wastewater operations. They monitor pumps, manage motors, and keep treatment processes running smoothly. But these systems are only as reliable as the enclosures that protect them. If moisture seeps into an enclosure, it can corrode components, cause short circuits, or lead
When it comes to industrial automation, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. Motion feedback devices like encoders ensure your equipment runs smoothly, accurately, and efficiently. But with so many encoder technologies available, how do you choose the right one for your application? At Lakeland Engineering, we partner with Dynapar, a
In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, accuracy and efficiency aren’t just goals—they’re essential to staying competitive. From reducing downtime to enhancing quality control, the right automation technology can transform the way facilities operate. That’s where Turck sensors come in. Known for reliability and innovation, Turck offers a wide range of

Electrical issues don’t always leave obvious clues. One day your system runs perfectly — the next, you’re facing tripped breakers, overheating components, or unexplained downtime. That’s where power quality analyzers come in. These devices go beyond basic voltage checks to reveal hidden problems in your electrical system — like
Whether you’re automating a new system or troubleshooting inconsistent motor performance, choosing the right VFD drives are foundational for smarter, more efficient operations. VFD Drives control the speed and torque of electric motors, helping you optimize energy use, reduce mechanical stress, and improve system control. But with dozens of
At Lakeland Engineering, we’ve worked with the ASCO 214 and ASCO 215 long enough to know they’re dependable. They’ve been the quiet workhorses in countless systems — turning on, shutting off, and managing flow without drama. So here’s the question ASCO presented to us that had us curious: What happens
