Industrial automation and environmental commitment with REL Inc.

Share

REL Inc, a company with more than 35 years of experience in automation and industrial systems design, has positioned its name as a technological partner of reference in demanding sectors such as aerospace. Under the leadership of its president, Josh Loukus, the U.S.-based firm develops solutions that combine advanced automation data traceability and a clear vision of environmental efficiency.

The company manufactures equipment for non-destructive inspection (NDT) and metal engraving lines, incorporating technologies that allow its customers to monitor and control processes in real time, without the need to travel, thanks to proprietary software that operates on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems.

Automation with remote access

Although the use of PLC systems is standard in the industry, REL Inc. has developed a proprietary software layer that allows its technical team to provide support and monitoring from its headquarters in Michigan, which means that customers have a system that operates autonomously and can be remotely monitored and optimized.

The company's philosophy is based on the understanding that technology must be supported by people and lasting relationships. The accompaniment includes technical support, training and continuous updates, adapting to the needs that arise during the operation of the systems.

Water treatment: Protect from the source

During his interview at ASNT 2025, Josh Loukus said the company has designed water treatment systems integrated directly into the equipment it manufactures, especially those for the aerospace industry. The company believes that the most efficient solution is not to treat the water at the end of the process, but to do it at the point where it is generated, so the systems are also capable of reusing the water without discharging it to the sewer system.

This goes hand in hand with increasingly stringent environmental guidelines by major companies such as Airbus and Pratt & Whitney, which seek to operate zero effluent facilities.

Vision for the future: Engineering with purpose

In an industry where the product is important, but the relationship is more so, REL Inc. is committed to building lasting ties with its customers. This model of proximity has allowed them to adapt to different market realities and integrate continuous improvements in their solutions.

With a solid base of experience, a committed team and a portfolio of technology solutions ranging from high-speed mechanical testing to LED lighting for visual inspection, we are able to offer a wide range of solutions for visual inspection REL Inc. continues to position itself as a reference company for those industries where accuracy, traceability and sustainability are no longer optional.
