Full Service Control System Integrators
Your full-service electrical and automation solutions system integrator
Whether you want to retrofit viable legacy machinery or design a new installation in large-scale industrial processes, Quad Plus delivers the resources you need.
Starting with a turnkey, single point of contact, you’ll benefit from coordinated project phases that provide a fully-integrated solution from design, development, implementation, and commissioning.
What is a Control System Integrator?
A control system integrators designs, develops, and implements solutions to automate and regulate processes within industrial environments.
This involves understanding the specific needs of a client’s operation, selecting appropriate hardware and software components, programming and configuring these components to work together seamlessly, testing the system to ensure functionality and reliability, and providing ongoing support and maintenance as needed.
You need a system integrator with experience in material handling and processing (continuous and discreet) alongside a background in a variety of applications.
Our Quad Plus system integrators can tackle every processing application, including web tension control, stacking and de-stacking, alignment and orientation detection and correction, recipe-based batching and coatings application, and air handling.
Plus, what happens when obsolete or unrepairable components mandate updates? Our team can identify what must be replaced and how to restore the rest.
We Know Your Industries, and We Know Your Systems
We work with all major equipment suppliers to build comprehensive solutions tailored to solve your system challenges.
System Engineering
Our control system integration engineers have decades of experience, and patience.
We listen to your requirements and have the ability to engineer a plan to improve items such as productivity, outputs, and speed changes.
Our engineers have extensive knowledge of the machines, controls, and technology products needed to meet your request, and we know how to program your system. The same engineers that initially meet with you to understand your needs, also build the BOM, pick out the hardware design, and program the system.
Our application solution capabilities are vast, including but not limited to the following core areas:
- Coordinated Drive and Automation Systems
- PLC, HMI and SCADA Automation Solutions
- AC Common Buss Coordinated Process Lines
- Regenerative Drive Systems
- Motion Control Systems
- Medium Voltage Systems
Design and Documentation
Faster assembly time and earlier problem detection.
We design your control system to meet your unique needs and specifications. No matter which brand of controls you need, we have you covered.
- Tightly integrated systems from the Bill of Material to final panel layouts.
- Extensive AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, Inventory, and Solid Works Libraries
- Easily adapted to support customer standards and formats (i.e., customer title block, existing wire numbers on retrofits)
Our 3D design process creates cabinets with exact specifications to correctly install controls the first time. Our control cabinets are always custom-built to fit the required space and are scalable for long-term flexibility. The result is a faster control system assembly and the ability to highlight issues before entering production.
Manufacturing
Standard and custom-built cabinets; e-houses for ultimate convenience.
Our cabinets are designed to fit your space and are scalable for long-term flexibility and our in-house CNC machine shop ensures an accurate and timely product. System builds to UL 508A, UL698A, UL 1203 and CE.
We offer stand-alone and multi-bay systems, and engineer cabinets for hazardous and non-hazardous environments, taking into consideration many elements, including:
- Climate and Temperature
- Indoors/Outdoors
- Altitude
- Humidity
- Light to Extreme Duty
E-Houses greatly reduce your downtime while increasing your floorplan flexibility. Each is built and thoroughly tested at our facility, and delivering:
- Flexible Design
- Container Type or Purpose Built
- Customized to fit the location; great with space limitations
- Sub Floor or Raised Tray Design
- HVAC
- Alarm and Fire Suppression Systems are available
System Testing
Your system is fully configured and tested before shipment.
Prior to shipment, your system will be thoroughly tested at our facility for all communications and configuration. This practice reduces downtime once your existing machine is shut down, saving you significant time and money.
- The engineers that designed your system also test your system at our site.
- Your system is fully configured and tested prior to shipment.
- Customer FAT and SAT testing are available.
Commissioning and Support
Hands-on, onsite support during startup and ongoing system support.
Quad Plus provides hands-on, onsite support during the start-up process of your integrated system. The original project design engineers will ensure a smooth transition from installation to production. As our saying goes, “whoever designs it, starts it up”.
Our goal is to have the most efficient start-up to exceed your expectations of the newly integrated system.
- Step 1: A comprehensive in-house system test to make certain the hardware, communications, and software configurations are in order.
- Step 2: Start and optimize your newly supplied system to confirm that it meets your production requirements. We can also provide electrical or mechanical installation supervision when required.
- Step 3: Pass off to production, which may include production trials when applicable.
Once your integrated control system is up and running, we want to make sure it stays that way. We deliver ongoing system support via expert remote support alongside troubleshooting and reliable field service, including emergency service when needed.
Web Gauging
Reduce variances, reduce waste, and increase efficiency.
Quad Plus web gauging systems are designed to provide online thickness measurements so you can reduce variances of products and materials during production. Our team of experts have the right combination of machine and process knowledge to recommend optimal configurations for web gauging systems and install them with skilled expertise.
We also offer the best hardware and software solutions to reduce start-up waste, run closer to targets and save on material used in your gauging applications. Plus, we provide project management from the planning phases and installation all the way through to post-installation training and support.
That way, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you will get the most from your web gauging system solution.
Retrofits
Restore reliability and profitability to your aging equipment.
When obsolete, unrepairable, or uneconomical components mandate upgrades, we evaluate your assets to provide retrofit options for restoring reliability, returning your operations to profitability, and adding new features; often while avoiding the need to replace your equipment entirely.
Quad Plus has extensive experience supporting the processes, hardware, and programming of legacy equipment integrated with older systems that have failed or become unreliable.
We offer a complete solution that can be implemented in phases to minimize downtime and reduce interruption of your production schedules.
Uncomplicate Your System
There’s no room for excess downtime.
Tight deadlines, even tighter profit margins, and demanding customers. You don’t have time for an integration installation process that takes you away from your bottom line.
Qualified, experienced, control system integrators.
Whether you want to retrofit viable legacy machinery or design a new installation in large-scale industrial processes, Quad Plus delivers the resources you need.
Our goal is to exceed your expectations.
Quad Plus is a global leader in providing comprehensive, customized solutions that increase efficiency, boost profitability, and reduce costly downtime. Once your system is up and running, we can provide services you can trust from preventive maintenance to field and repair services.
We work with all major original equipment manufacturers.
