CML Innovative Technologies: The leading manufacturer of LED signal lamps for all industrial applications
In this issue of Best Practice, we are pleased to feature CML Innovative Technologies as our Lighting Technology Company of the Year.
Over the past decade, the United Kingdom has witnessed a significant decline in its manufacturing sector marking a substantial shift in the countrys economic landscape coupled with some of the recent additional pressures including those caused by global troubles there are still many positive reasons to remain optimistic.
CML IT has been designing and manufacturing lighting components and systems for over 90 years. We offer a wealth of experience of all types of lighting technologies in combination with advanced design capabilities. Our in-house test facilities and quality systems allow us to develop high quality solutions for a wide range of industries including Automotive, Medical and Aerospace Railroad and general Industry applications such as electrical control panels.
Our 3D CAD system incorporates highly advanced, interactive optical simulation software. This allows our Design Engineers to design, analyse, modify and optimise within a single CAD environment. Electronic designs are simulated prior to PCB design and layout. CML IT has extensive experience of designing LED driver circuits including microcontroller control of advanced functions such as dimming and colour mixing. Many of our designs have undergone rigorous EMC testing for use in the aerospace sector.
With Supply chains globally likely to face further uncertainty and undoubtably pressurised with continued increases in costs of freight and distribution during 2025, there is once again a visible push to re shore or close sure manufacture or source product where possible. CML are focused and committed in association together with our authorised distribution partners to holding suitable levels of stock and to work ever closely with direct customers with planning and scheduling departments to help ensure continued supply making sure production lines are not put at risk.
After a highly successful year of New Product Introduction in 2024, the next 12 month looks set to be another bumper year of innovation with high levels of expectation and saturation of product release. A new range of highly durable and well tested panel indicators with an expected release of some 260 SKUs have been initiated for high performance sealed both front facing as well as the rear for to achieve an IP67 standard. Withstanding high vibration and manufactured from a high grade of stainless steel helps make them ideal in demanding application areas such as construction, military, marine environments and also opening up new application possibilities including the ever growing food processing industry.
The new product introductions to be offered complement the existing product ranges perfectly, the general ranges allows for many customisation possibilities such as sealing arrangements, harness and cable options, wires and colour options and finishes of bezels, bespoke part numbering and marking options and of course as usual the options of colour illumination, our commitment to customisation has proven extremely popular and is another area of continued focus going forward.
