Modern material handling control systems do more than automate equipment—they are engineered to coordinate complex processes, enforce safety protocols, and protect both people and assets at every step. By integrating advanced monitoring, emergency response features, and compliance-driven logic, these systems help businesses operate more safely, efficiently, and reliably.
While OSCO Controls’ systems are often used in industries where industry safety standards apply, our responsibility is to deliver control panels that meet or exceed the most rigorous industry certifications—such as UL 508A, cUL, and CE. These certifications ensure every OSCO panel is built for safety, reliability, and quality, supporting your facility’s ability to achieve compliance with applicable workplace regulations and codes
The right control system can transform material handling safety from a regulatory hurdle into a true operational advantage. In this guide, you’ll discover how OSCO Controls delivers next-level safety in control systems, compliance, and innovation through every phase of your operation:

Safety by Design: The Backbone of Reliable Material Handling Control Systems
As automation and compliance standards evolve, the demand for safer, smarter material handling control systems has never been greater. Material handling safety is a top priority for any business moving products, parts, or raw materials—whether in manufacturing, HVAC, recycling, distribution, or utilities. OSCO’s role is to provide certified, high-quality control panels that form the foundation of safe, compliant operations
OSCO Controls approaches industrial control system safety as a core design philosophy. Our material handling compliance and control systems set the benchmark, actively protecting people, assets, and operations through built-in safety features, redundant fail-safe mechanisms, and real-time alerts. By hardwiring safety into every control system we build, our customers can focus on productivity and innovation with confidence.
Real-Time Protection: Material Handling Control Systems That Prevent Downtime
Preventing downtime and minimizing risk requires more than just automated processes—it demands intelligent control systems that can detect, respond, and adapt in real-time. OSCO’s approach to material handling safety centers on proactive features that keep your operations moving and your people protected.
Emergency Shutoffs for Instant Incident Response
When seconds count, OSCO’s control panels deliver. Prominent emergency stop (E-stop) buttons and shutoff circuits allow operators to halt equipment immediately at the first sign of trouble, helping to prevent accidents, injuries, and equipment damage.
Redundant Fail-Safe Mechanisms to Eliminate Single Points of Failure
No operation should hinge on a single component. OSCO integrates dual-channel safety circuits, backup relays, and fail-safe logic into every system, ensuring that even if one element fails, your operation remains protected and productive.
OSCO Connect: Real-Time Monitoring, Remote Control, and Smart Alerts
Our proprietary cloud-based system, OSCO Connect, is the nerve center for operational awareness. This advanced platform provides live monitoring, remote diagnostics, and instant alerts for equipment status, faults, and safety events. With customizable dashboards and mobile access, your team can respond to issues before they escalate—reducing downtime and supporting continuous compliance.
