Full Service Control System Integrators
Your full-service electrical and automation solutions system integrator for your manufacturing process.
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 enjoy coordinated project phases that provide a fully-integrated solution from design, development, implementation, and commissioning.
We work with all major original equipment manufacturers.
Customized Solutions Designed for Your Needs.
You need a system integrator with experience with material handling and processing (continuous and discreet) and a background in a variety of applications. That way, you’ll have better insight into your needs and constraints.
You need a crew that can tackle every processing application, including web tension control, stacking and destacking, 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
Extensive knowledge, decades of experience, and patience while listening.
We listen to your requirements and have the ability to engineer a plan to improve items such as productivity, outputs, speed changes, etc.
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 learn what needs to be done 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 install controls right 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 time 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 deliver:
- 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 startup process of your integrated system. The original project design engineers will ensure a smooth transition from installation to production. We have a saying: whoever designs it starts it up.
Our goal is to have the most efficient startup 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 system is up and running, we want to make sure it stays that way. We deliver ongoing system support via expert remote support and 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 has 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 startup 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.
Customized System Integration Solutions
Following the modification of one of their machines, this customer required new electrical controls, but only had limited space for the new hardware. Our engineers started by researching the original program and electrical schematics to devise a smooth installation and startup plan that was aligned with all current electrical standards, including AC and DC circuit isolation for a low-voltage application and all terminations to be easily recognizable in the prints and pull list. Due to the limited space within the cabinet, a sequester bay type enclosure could not be utilized and our engineers had to come up with an alternative solution.
In this integration project, our team showcased how planning and preparation, along with deep knowledge of existing systems and solutions, can result in seamless integration for our customers. Plus, our expert knowledge of the National Electric Code (NEC) and UL Standards means our designs always meet the necessary safety and code requirements.
