Opened Boundary Thinking for the confidence in the quality of Photo Electric Control Relay
1. Introduction
Nowadays, lighting luminair for traffic transportation, traffic signal lights, banner advertizing and public parks, etc are as important to living, safety and accidents reduction as shown in three Figures below:
Photo Electric Control Relay which is shown in the circle of Figure 3, it serves to turn lights on at night and turn off at the dawn of a new day by the sensing of intensity of light from the sun that can be designed and set by the user to perform automatically according to an international standards. Without Photo Electric Control Relay, then the operator must open and close the lighting circuit by manual according to the feeling of bright and dark decision which may not be predicted the definite time schedule in which the tasks that need good care of each operator, otherwise it may lead to the risk of an accident that caused to the life and property of the people.
2. Quality
G.K.Power Products Co.,Ltd.is an experience manufacturer with international standards performance starting from the design, procurement and quality controlled raw materials from well known electronic circuit component that brought to be assembled into finished product and tested to meet Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) and Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) standards. Routine testing process will be carried out at the factory to get the testing data same as results conducted by the independent test institute. We also have a field test to prove the results by applying actual climate to determine the total lifetime of Photo Electric Control Relay to build up confidence in the quality to customers.
3. Self Potential Development
From the fact that we have to waste time, money and effort at daily routine work in the closed boundary and/or in the rules on each day, If we try to have opened boundary of thinking for one minute in each person. Then we can see what others could not see which will save time, money and labor cost and once we have to take action and get the expected result which will make us proud and happy to work more and more efficient.
Using only the labor needed to work every day repeatedly without improvement or altered methods, It will lose encouragement, time and labor cost. As a result is tired of being weak and will run them with unsuccessful and ashamed. People, not like machines which have to do everything that is designed as usual process, we just think as opened boundary to investigate the problems, step by step analysis, fact finding, standard and experimental study of the consequences and practical solution at the end. This would make us proud and happy to work more and create a good idea to support our work to reduce investments and bring a great deal of healthy mind.
In this article, I just want our readers to think out scope boundary which is still in our responsible work only one minute in each day, you can develop yourself and the company to be modern international standards or to the customers requirement.

The subsequent changes |
Criteria of Photo Electric Control Relay setting |
||
| Use a large room | Adjust the light intensity every time of testing | Impact tester’s eye due to his working in the dark period |
| Reduce to a smaller room. | Light intensity setting covers 50 sets per each experiment | Provide protective equipment such as eye care or glasses or film |
| Reduce the cost of building a dark room and space saving for testing | Testing time consuming will be reduced to half means reducing the testing’s time | Can be used in all places |
From opened boundary of thinking for the testing of Photo Electric Control Relay that can reduce testing space, testing time and preventing harmful to the eyes and reduce production costs, but confidence in the quality even more from previous design. Each set was produced through processes that meet the standards of quality management standards ISO 9001 which is divided into parts assembly and testing work having the design and accuracy to meet the customers’ needs. Every step of production process is controlled strictly in the control room of the temperature, humidity, and many criteria of the real field testing. This results G.K.Power Products Co.,Ltd. to be ready both the manufacturing process and testing facility of Photo Electric Control Relay that makes customers feel confidence in the quality
4. Conclusion
- Why Gunkul Photo Electric Control Relay be widely accepted?
A device that is used to switch on and off of the power supply that combines knowledge of electronic and power engineering based on the principle of natural sun light and the of light intensity detector to meet the international standards and customer requirement. This makes it easy and comfortable in accurately switching on – off based on the natural darkness and brightness intensity setting values. It also has a new idea in the development of this equipment for various applications, durable, accurate and standards in the production for universal acceptance. Until now, we can produce a several thousand sets per month and sold millions of Baht per year.
- Photo Electric Control Relay can only be used as switch on - off for street lighting?
Applications Photo Electric Control Relay device is not only facilitates the open - closed circuit switching automatically. We can also apply to open - closed circuit of the home lighting preventing from thefts or even the open - close function for home appliances. With the needs and benefits of Photo Electric Control Relay applications, our company has manufactured, developed and tested to meet all customers’ special requirement.
- How much application does Photo Electric Control Relay develop in the future?
Not only the current type produced by G.K.Power Products Co.,Ltd. to meet PEA and MEA specification, This concept has now been applied to development the device to be smaller, less energy consuming and can be used for longer period than five years as special needs of the customers, which would lead to higher prices and enhance the value added device at the end.
- Does Photo Electric Control Relay use in Thai market only?
Not only government organization and private sectors in Thailand to use Photo Electric Control Relay for their street lighting, but in the present, more foreign countries such as Malaysia, Myanmar, who had a chance to visit our factory and interested to get trial project in the next few years. The trends in using this device that is affordable, quality and long life service will widely covered throughout the Southeast Asian distribution system.
- What maintenance does Photo Electric Control Relay will be performed?
For maintenance, it is similar to the normal electrical equipment such as transformers, disconnecting switches, fuse cutout, etc. provided that Photo Electric Control Relay is a mostly electronic device which requirs the low voltage source system to be controlled in the range specified such as 220 VAC, 50 Hz with some tolerances, otherwise, it may affect the service life of the devices.
