Electronic Drives and Controls, Inc. (EDC) has announced it is the first U.S. Siemens Solution Partner to be certified for Drives & Motion. A Siemens Solution Partner since 2014, the company is also certified in Advanced Factory Automation.
"With this new certification, EDC has established itself as a strategic solution partner and leading system integrator focused on helping manufacturers with obsolete drive and control technology to automate manual processes and upgrade aging equipment," said a company spokesperson.
"Our congratulations go to Electronic Drives and Controls. This certification means their clients can always trust that EDC will professionally deliver the most advanced solutions based on the powerful combination of SINAMICS integrated drives and SIMATIC totally integrated automation," said Peter Treible, National Industrial Partner Manager, Siemens.
"We are proud to have Electronic Drives and Controls as a Siemens Solution Partner. EDC has consistently proven that we can always count on them to deliver quality engineering and implementation services, the first time, every time, for our clients. This investment in certification is one of many reasons Siemens views EDC as a leader in their market."
EDC has 50 years of experience integrating new control systems and repairing or retrofitting older equipment for a variety of manufacturing industries local to New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.
"For the typical manufacturers we work with, older drives such as Siemens MasterDrives 6SE70 series have been great workhorses for years. We know because we have installed hundreds of them over the years," said Chuck Dillard, Vice President of EDC. "The problem is, as these older industrial drives and controls reach obsolescence, downtime for manufacturers becomes a costly problem with no OEM support and difficulty sourcing replacement parts. We help manufacturers retrofit existing equipment and gain the advantages of new automation technology at a fraction of the cost of purchasing new equipment."
When upgrading older equipment, automating manual processes allows manufacturers to gain a competitive edge with greater throughput and efficiency. It also sets the stage for leveraging the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and digitization of the shop floor.
In addition to EDC's work with the manufacturing sector, the company has a field service business unit. Trained technicians perform repairs, large-scale retrofits and preventative maintenance for customers in the pharmaceuticals, real estate management and HVAC industries.
