The Simplex Advantage

Five Essential Steps for Choosing the Right Control Panel

In a helpful article, Dr. Mathew Liotine, Associate Professor of Information and Decision Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago, reviews the relationship between control panel quality and the total cost of ownership.

Dr. Liotine elaborates that calculating the total cost of ownership requires that you consider the entire product lifecycle – from commissioning to disposal.

The total cost of ownership includes costs associated with maintenance, repair and loss expectancy. Panels of lower quality may require frequent repair. There is also the very real possibility of loss due to work stoppage.

Engineers

We respect the genius required in control panel engineering alongside the demands on your time.

When it comes to building your electric and pneumatic control panels, you need a company you can trust to bring your design to life.
At Simplex, we are proud to say that engineers who come in to perform a factory acceptance test are often so pleased that they choose not to test again before future projects.

Food & Beverage

Quality Control, and Logistics

As a Systems Integrator, my first experience working with Simplex was on the plant floor 10 years ago at a pizza plant, where we were commissioning a line using a Simplex-fabricated panel. We were debugging an issue, and the engineer I was working with states,“It’s a Simplex panel; the problem is in the field wiring.” This intrigued me. Never had I heard these words uttered before with such confidence! And the engineer was correct – the problem was in the field. Thus began my relationship with Simplex. Brown, Systems Integration Director

Natural Gas

We Always Recommend Simplex

“We’ve been doing business with Simplex System Controls since 1985. The quality is outstanding and it is obvious that every panel is treated as if it was being installed in their own facility. In all of these years, there has never been a time where the quality has slipped. When we have issues during the commissioning of our new systems, we are sure it is due to something outside of the control panel, never inside. We always recommend Simplex to our colleagues and plan on continuing our relationship with Simplex as a supplier in the future.”

– Mike, Automation Engineer

Renewable Energy & Natural Resources

Simplex Requires Minimal Engineering Design Input

The team at Simplex understands how to design and build panels. This experience allows them to produce panels with minimal engineering design input. This is a significant advantage on projects with aggressive schedules, that leaves little time for detailed engineering. They also provide feedback based on their years of experience that helps us to improve the quality of our designs.
