UCEC Identifies What Makes Them a Top Notch Control Panel Builder

May 11, 2021

UCEC has existed for more than sixty years by building the best control panels, period. To keep their focus on quality custom panels, they have never defined themselves as a “one-stop shop.” To be all things to all people with something as complicated as a control panel should send up a red flag. When panels shops try to do everything (a “one-stop shop”), that’s when things get diluted and messy.

There is so much talent and work that goes into a UCEC panel. UCEC knows their industry thoroughly, and they wish to remain highly relevant in the field. No one gets there by being all things to all people. UCEC shares two examples of this philosophy in action.

PARTNERING WITH EXPERTS TO SERVE OUR CLIENTS BETTER

UCEC’s talented craftsmen contribute their years of knowledge of panel building to each project. Conversely, most engineering firms who try to build panels quickly learn there is more to them than meets the eye. As UCEC’s President and CEO, Mark Inboden said, “Two specialized companies collaborating to solve a customer’s problem often leads to a better result for the end user.”

UCEC finds that the best results happen for their clients when they partner with other experts and this case study demonstrates exactly that.

Engineering firm, Logical Systems, Inc., had a client who is an international beverage maker with plants around the world. Each plant contains several machine shops with milling machines, lathes and other equipment. After a serious injury occurred when an unqualified employee operated equipment in a plant machine shop in another state, the customer needed to find a solution that guaranteed only trained employees would be permitted to operate dangerous machinery.

Download the case study, “UCEC + Logical Systems, LLC” to see how these two experts partnered together to engineer and build a safety-focused control panel.

QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

A major Bakken oil and gas operator was rapidly outgrowing the separator platform they were using, which relied heavily on remote telemetry units (RTUs). When a move to a PLC platform was decided on due to the large number of controls, the operator knew they would have to find a panel shop with the experience, skill and technical knowledge to turn its designs into reality.

After touring several firms, this major oil and gas operator selected UCEC to take on the project of updating their separator control panels.
