IntelliFinishing is a complete finishing systems provider. Our key difference is our revolutionary modular conveyor and smart control technology, which allows individual sections of the conveyor to move independently in both speed and direction throughout the entire system. This allows each process area; be it wash, coatings, cure or delivery, to act independent of the rest of the system for the ultimate system flexibility to obtain the highest quality and throughput.Building on the 40 plus years history of Kasa Automation and Controls, Konnection offers the next level up in SCADA/MES integration. We bring operational technology (OT) to information technology (IT) to increase operational control, reduce expenses in software and labor, and increase through-put.
