What we do
We can handle the whole job, from design to service.
We can take a control system from the first layout through startup, and keep supporting it after that. It's all handled out of our facility in Princess Anne.

UL listed
We're a UL 508A and UL 698A listed shop.
We build both custom and standard panels to UL 508A and UL 698A.

UL 698A
Listed panel shop
Built and wired in our own shop in Princess Anne, Maryland.
How we build
Here's how a job goes, start to finish.
Step 1
Design & layout
We lay out the panel and work through the design before anything gets built.
Step 2
Wiring & assembly
Panels are built and wired in our own shop.
Step 3
Testing
Then they're tested in the same shop, before they leave the building.
Step 4
PLC & HMI programming
We write the PLC program and build the operator screens, for new panels, retrofits, and upgrades.
Step 5
Commissioning
We start the system up with you, on site or remotely, and stay with it until it runs the way it should.

Step 6
24/7 support
Call any time if something goes wrong, even if we didn't build the panel.

Water and wastewater controls
We've been building and servicing controls for municipal water and wastewater systems for a long time, from treatment plants to pump and lift stations that have to run around the clock.

How it works
Watch a lift station run.
Wastewater can't always flow downhill all the way to the treatment plant. A lift station collects it in an underground tank, called a wet well, and pumps it up and on its way. A level transducer tells the control panel how high the water is, and the panel decides when to pump.

Use Next to step through one cycle
Step 1
Filling
Wastewater flows in and the well fills. A level transducer near the bottom measures the height and sends it to the panel, which shows it on its display.
Step 2
The level hits the start point
When the transducer reads the start level, the panel knows it's time to pump. The floats are just backups, in case the transducer fails.
Step 3
The panel starts the pump
The control panel turns on its run light and starts the pump.
Step 4
Pumping out
The pump pushes the water up and out through the discharge pipe. When the transducer reads the stop level, the panel shuts the pump off.
That's the panel's job
The panel makes it all work.
It reads the level, starts the pump, and stops it, around the clock. That's the part we design, build, program, and service.

What's inside a pump control panel
This is a duplex pump panel, the kind you'd find running a lift station or pump station. Pick a number to see what each part does and where we come in.
Tap a number on the photo or pick from the list.
A Mercoid controller reads the water level and turns the pumps on and off. Its display shows the current level and the setpoints.
Where we come inPump station controls
Puts a drive's display and buttons on the outside of the door, so you can check it without opening the panel.
Where we come inVFD selection and programming
One for each pump. Hand runs the pump manually, Off takes it out of service, and Auto lets the controller run it.
Where we come inPump station controls
Lights up when the level in the wet well gets too high.
Where we come inAlarm systems
Picks what the panel reads the level from: the transducer, or the float switches as a backup.
Where we come inLift station panels
Comes on when moisture gets into a pump's seal chamber. It's an early warning that the pump needs attention.
Where we come inAlarm systems
Counts how many hours the pumps have run. Maintenance is usually scheduled off this number.
Where we come inPreventive maintenance programs
These hang in the wet well. When the water rises and tips one up, it switches.

Our story

Shorite Controls started in 1985. For four decades we've been building, programming, and servicing industrial control systems for customers around the Eastern Shore, and today we're based in Princess Anne, Maryland.
In January 2024, Process Integration, Inc. acquired Shorite. That added automation, robotics, software, and systems integration to what we can offer, and we're still focused on industrial controls and our water and wastewater customers.
