Custom signal assemblies are used in a number of applications. While the type of industries may vary, the applications tend to be somewhat similar. Broken down to their most basic function, custom signal assemblies offer a way to communicate important information in a given environment. The goal is to do so in an efficient and reliable manner.
 
This, of course, becomes harder to do as environments become more chaotic and/or have a plethora of moving parts. With so much going on, signal assemblies take on greater responsibilities other than just communicating information to personnel — they are vital to keeping everyone safe.
 
Though it can be argued that custom signal assemblies can be utilized in a number of areas, here are some of the most visible areas they can be found:
 
Automotive Industry
Custom signal assemblies are commonly used in the automotive industry for turn signals, brake lights, and other essential lighting. These assemblies are customized to fit specific vehicle models so as to provide clear visibility for other drivers on the road. These assemblies are also being built to utilize new, more cost-effective LED technology that lasts longer than traditional bulb assemblies.
 
Automation
As industrial/mechanical settings become more automated, there is greater reliance on facility management systems. A facility manager or small management team will depend on custom signal assemblies to relay important visual cues alongside the automated system. These assemblies can be designed with bright LED lights & audible alarms to ensure quick and effective communication in busy work environments.
 
By Sea
Custom signal assemblies prove to be quite useful in marine applications by way of navigation lights, distress signals, and communication between vessels. These assemblies are built to withstand harsh conditions (i.e., corrosive nature of salt water) and provide reliable methods of communication to maintain safety at all times.
 
Emergency Services
Emergency vehicles (i.e., first responders) rely on custom signal assemblies for their flashing lights, sirens, and other warning signals. They are designed to grab attention quickly and alert others to move out of the way.
 
Aerospace Industry
In the aerospace industry, visual cues are paramount for safe operation day in and day out. Airline personnel are moving in all directions, making the chances of an accident taking place much higher. As such, approach & runway lighting, aircraft lighting, cockpit indicators, and ground support equipment all depend on signal assemblies that must meet strict regulations for safety and performance, as well as not fail when in use.
 
Custom signal assemblies are a viable solution for many industries. This is why which manufacturing partner one works with matters. The manufacturer of a client’s custom signal assemblies must have the experience, the longevity, an impressive variety of successful projects in their portfolio, as well as have a litany of certifications and standards they can readily meet.
