Metal Finishing

ECC Control Systems has been at the forefront of integrated control systems for the metal finishing industry since 1983. With over 80 systems installed, we’ve evolved from simple chemical feed control to smart, end-to-end solutions that manage every aspect of the finishing process. Our advanced control systems optimize operational performance with streamlined workflows and precision management of chemical and wastewater systems. Our platform features customizable, role-specific dashboards that provide real-time production line visualizations, along with Andon warning lights, alarms, and mobile-friendly notifications to keep your team connected and proactive.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of finishing processes does ECC work with?
ECC's process control work covers plating lines, e-coat systems, and related surface-treatment operations where bath temperature and airflow stability affect finish quality.
Can existing controls be upgraded without shutting down the line?
In most cases, yes — ECC prioritizes retrofit approaches that modernize controls in phases rather than requiring a full line shutdown, though the exact plan depends on the condition of existing equipment.
How is a finishing line evaluated before a proposal is made?
ECC starts with a scoping call, and can run a sensor-based engineering assessment on the existing line for a separate fee to measure real temperature and airflow behavior, so any proposed controls upgrade is sized against actual conditions rather than estimates.
What tolerance can be held on a finishing line?
ECC's target is sub-0.5% deviation on controlled process variables, compared with a roughly 4% industry-standard tolerance, which matters directly for coating consistency and defect reduction.
