It’s a constantly evolving product. If a customer finds a feature our product doesn’t already provide, we will evaluate and possibly add it as a standard

They have built-in communication and email capabilities alongside the ability to monitor pump station peripherals such as generator status and more. Their Main and Pump dashboards exhibit the complete system status on one easy-to-operate screen.

PUMP Vision PV1200 goes a step ahead of PV600 as it provides clearer menus and graphical data presentations with its larger, easy-to-view 12" digital touch screen. This controller is user-configured to operate simplex, duplex, triplex, and quadplex systems with numerous sequencing possibilities. Besides, the PV1200 records operating conditions, system and pump faults, flow rates, and more with data logs for evaluation.

From an engineering perspective, CMC has enhanced its scalability to develop quicker and cleaner submittals and produce drawings faster, which translates to improved production with higher accuracy. With value for aesthetics, CMC enhances the look and quality of their products that customers appreciate. For instance, every control panel is bench tested before launch. And, from an operator standpoint, the CMC product offers ease of use with superior graphics that provide feature-rich options. “It’s a constantly evolving product. If a customer finds a feature our product doesn’t already provide, we will evaluate and possibly add it as a standard. For higher volume applications, new product development can assist our customers with standardization,” says Slate.

Internally, CMC looks at the business from a customer service standpoint. The company constantly strives to improve their offerings and deliver the appropriate response to their users and solidify their relationships. “It is our goal to create a different experience for our customers based on their needs, their past relationships with other vendors, and their feedback, be it positive or negative,” states Slate.

Illustrating their performance, Slate cites the example of Caltrans, the transportation department of California that aimed to modernize and acquire standardization of wastewater management, cost-effectively. The ability of PUMP Vision to consolidate the voltage meter, amp meter, and more into one controller for increased efficiency and ease of use impressed the transportation giant. Moreover, the PUMP Vision PV1200 alarms helped Caltrans’ operators mitigate previously unseen problems and undertake preventive maintenance. CMC was approved on building many Caltrans pump plants throughout California, using their PUMP Vision PV1200 controller.

On the horizon, CMC envisions continued equipment and capital purchases to deliver efficiency to both their clients and employees. The company aspires to expand and build a stronger foundation with better internal processes to ensure less challenges for their partners. "Our growth has really been organic. We will continue to improve our products, our efficiency, and our relationships," concludes Slate.
