Challenge
Adams Electric needed a faster, more flexible way to create custom safety and electrical system labels. Relying on outside vendors for printed signage created delays and limited the company’s ability to respond to project-specific labeling needs across its large, field-based workforce.
Results
With the DuraLabel Kodiak Max Industrial Sign and Label System, Adams Electric brought labeling in-house—eliminating lead times, customizing labels for electrical panels and substations, and expanding usage beyond safety across multiple departments. The result: faster turnaround, stronger compliance, and clearer, site-specific labeling that improves safety and efficiency company-wide.
Key Product
“We found other needs for the labeling system beyond safety. It’s become a company-wide tool.”
The Challenge
Before bringing labeling in-house, Adams Electric outsourced nearly all safety and system labels to external vendors. While functional, the process involved long lead times and limited flexibility. Customization was difficult, and waiting on printed materials often delayed key project steps—especially in environments where safety labels needed to reflect specific customer equipment layouts or job site hazards.
The Solution
Adams Electric implemented the DuraLabel Kodiak Max Printer to create a high-speed, in-house labeling solution. This gave teams greater control, flexibility, and responsiveness across job sites while maintaining label quality and durability. The system allowed them to:
- Create Custom Labels for Electrical Systems: Print panel, switchgear, and substation labels tailored to each job site and customer requirement.
- Reduce Lead Times and Delays: Eliminate outsourcing by producing labels on demand, exactly when needed.
- Support Arc Flash Labeling and Pipe Marking: Meet safety requirements using clear, durable signage for critical system components.
- Extend Usage Beyond Safety: Enable other departments to use the system for infrastructure and operational labeling tasks.
- Improve Project Agility: Deliver the exact labels required—without delays or compromises to accuracy.
“We looked at labeling and signage devices from other companies, but decided our best value was with DuraLabel.” – Clark Lewis, Corporate Safety Director
