CD Automation | Power Control, Reframed

For over 40 years, CD Automation has helped industrial and commercial operators take control of how power is measured, switched, and applied, not just to keep systems running, but to make them perform predictably under pressure.

Because in most systems, power isn’t the problem.
Misinterpreting how it behaves is.

That’s where inefficiency hides.
That’s where downtime begins.

Our product platform is built for environments where instability isn’t acceptable, where inconsistent loads, thermal stress, and poor control strategies quietly erode performance long before failure is visible.

We design for that reality.

Our technology is deployed across automotive, aerospace, defence, food production, pharmaceuticals, and advanced manufacturing, as well as transport, utilities, HVAC systems, furnaces, and kilns.

Different industries. Same risk pattern:

  • Power applied too aggressively or too late
  • Control loops reacting instead of stabilising
  • Equipment sized for peak, but operated inefficiently in reality

The result? Higher energy costs, premature component wear, and unplanned downtime that’s often treated as “just part of the process.”

We challenge that assumption.

CD Automation works with engineers, OEMs, and operators to change how systems are specified and understood, so performance is designed in from the start, not corrected later at higher cost.

Because the difference between a system that works…
and a system that performs consistently over time…
is rarely the hardware alone.

It’s how power is controlled.

Why Customers Choose CD Automation

Not because we sell components.
Because we reduce uncertainty.

  • Systems behave as expected under real operating conditions
  • Load changes are managed, not reacted to
  • Energy usage becomes predictable and defensible
  • Downtime is reduced at the root, not patched afterwards

When power control is specified correctly, everything downstream improves, from product quality to maintenance cycles to operating margins.

That’s the shift we deliver.

Our Mission

Enable customers to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and increase productivity by applying power control in ways that are technically sound and commercially justified.

Our Vision

To be the partner engineers turn to when system performance cannot be left to assumption.

Our Strategy

Invest in application expertise and product innovation to solve problems before they become costs, and to help customers make better decisions earlier in the buying process.

Giving Back.

Long-term thinking doesn’t stop at engineering.

We support causes that reflect the same principles we apply in our work, care, reliability, and impact when it matters most. That’s why we’re proud to partner with St Wilfrid’s Hospice, supporting patients and families through the most challenging moments.

Because what you build, and how you support others, both leave a lasting mark.
