At Simplex System Controls, we start with the end in mind. While our competitors may merely quote the initial design, they often ignore the most important question…Will the design work as is, or will they hit you with additional costs later? From the moment we receive your request for quote, our experts will examine its scope, field requirements, environment considerations, layout efficiency, budget, timeline, and both the consistency and compatibility of product design. By spotting potential issues BEFORE the quote, we can ensure that it will be as accurate and transparent as possible. Our line-by-line quote therefore includes all items necessary for the panel to function properly, saving you production delays and hidden costs.

Ease of Doing Business

We understand that engineers are overworked! At Simplex System Controls, giving you the best possible experience is our top priority. From the moment your order is placed, one of our project managers will be devoted to meeting your needs quickly and easily through a single point of contact. Using our detailed project management system, JobBoss, they can even begin your build while final details are still being decided! Your personal project manager will be available for the duration of your build and will follow-up upon delivery of the control panel to confirm your successful launch. There is nothing we enjoy more than another satisfied Simplex customer!

Superior Quality Control

Keeping your project on schedule and on budget is important! We check the control panel at every stage of production so you can be confident that it will commission cleanly in the field. This means no lost production time, no delayed ROI, no fines, and no additional time or money spent on repairs. To ensure superior quality control, our QC manager reports directly to the president of Simplex. As part of our process, we will:

• Conduct visual reviews to ensure there are no loose wires or wire strands, the panel layout is correct, all components match BOM, the wires are sized properly, etc.
• Energize panels & perform point to point testing
• Conduct air pressure testing of pneumatics
• Connect a load to VFDs during testing
• Load PLC with base-level hardware configuration to test I/O
• Document of findings, fixes, and results
• Support Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)
