KRL. KRL Consoles & Racks.
Precision-machined operator consoles and equipment racks manufactured to KRL engineering drawings, including detailed CAD documentation and QC sign-off at every milestone.
Programme scale
Multi-batch programme delivery
Timeline
8 weeks per batch
Active since
2018 – 2024
The challenge
What made this hard.
- Absolute drawing fidelity — no deviation permitted.
- Traceability across every part number, batch and operator.
- Interior finish suitable for high-reliability electronics.
- Documented QC at incoming, in-process and final.
The solution
How PES built it.
- Digital work-order system with per-part QC gates.
- Precision milling on the SMX 3500 for critical mating faces.
- Full material and process traceability packet per batch.
- Programme engineer on-site at KRL for install and hand-off.
