VCI Controls: Bringing Electronic Technology and Construction
Together
Construction and high technology are two words you don't often
hear in the same sentence. A computer seems out of place in the
world of hard-hats, cranes and girders. The developers of most
automated systems are more familiar with computers and software
than with the complexities of a major construction project while
most control equipment manufacturers are only familiar with
construction.
At VCI Controls, we understand both these technical disciplines.
We engineer, manufacture, install and service automated systems
designed specifically for the energy management and building
control markets. Our project managers have construction
backgrounds and our software engineers wear hard-hats. Our
installers are engineers, electricians, fitters and electronics
technicians. We're the largest Canadian-owned company providing
Canadian designed and manufactured electronic building control
systems and we've been meeting the needs of our Building
Automation clients since 1979. Our systems are installed across
Canada, in buildings as small as 20,000 sq. ft. and as large as
The Museum of Civilization. We are controlling the environment
and saving energy costs for a diverse client list including
schools, airports, hospitals and government and commercial
office
buildings.
Over the years, we've worked hard to develop a complete approach
to Building Controls, incorporating all aspects of system
delivery from Engineering, to Manufacturing, to Installation and
Service with a commitment to ongoing Research and Development.
Our goal is to ensure that VCI Controls is the electronic
building controls supplier for today's requirements... and
tomorrow's.
Manufacturing : VCI Controls' manufacturing staff is totally familiar with the
production of electronic building control equipment. In
keeping
with VCI's philosophy of applying the most recent technologies,
we use state-of-the-art production methods including CAD / CAM
techniques to design printed circuit boards. Metal work is
performed on computerized NC Machines. Working out of our
plant
in Nepean, Ontario, the manufacturing staff build and test all
the components of our systems including our recently introduced
product, the 9100. Stringent quality assurance tests are
applied
to all components prior to shipment to site. VCI's electronic
building control systems have been designed to meet the widest
range of specifications and industry standards possible.
However,
should our clients have specialized requirements, our
manufacturing and engineering groups will design and build
custom
components.
Engineering : The success of any project is determined during the planning
stage. Time spent in evaluating needs and developing solutions
means time saved during installation and lower maintenance
costs.
Most importantly, good planning results in customer
satisfaction.
VCI Controls employs a full staff of engineers to plan and
design the most efficient, cost manufacturing effective system
for our clients.
Application Engineers: Evaluate client needs and ensure our system is configured to
meet
all project requirements.
Hardware Engineers: Ensure the most recent, but proven, technology is considered
when
engineering the system.
Software Engineers: Ensure our software incorporates state-of-the-art technology
while maintaining the maximum flexibility, capability,
reliability and ease of use for our clients.
Instrumentation Engineers: Ensure our customers get the advantages of the most reliable,
accurate, cost-effective instrumentation and equipment
available.
Installation : From co-ordinating schedules with other construction trades to
ensuring specifications have been carefully reviewed by both
local and factory engineering staff, our project managers work
with the client to ensure a smooth installation.
Operating from a construction trailer at the job site or from
our
local office, we will install all electronic or pneumatic
equipment, instrumentation, wiring, conduit and computers. There
is no aspect of installing a control system which our trained
personnel are not prepared to undertake. VCI has a permanent
staff of electricians, fitters and electronics technicians.
These
careful, experienced installation crews are directed by Project
Managers familiar with construction and backed up by management
and technical expertise at our local branch offices. Factory
expertise is also available when required. A job is never
complete until we have verified all aspects of the system are
operating properly and to our client's satisfaction. To the
project managers at VCI, installation also extends to training
of client personnel both in a classroom environment and at the
client's site. We want our clients to understand the system
as
well as we do.
Service : VCI believes that system flexibility extends to choice of after-
sale service options. We provide our clients with a wide range
of
service options, from a training program for the "do-it-
yourself"
to complete facilities management for those requiring a
comprehensive service contract. Whichever combination you
choose,
our trained and experienced staff of technicians are available
24
hours a day backed by a complete inventory of replacement parts
located at our offices. Service staff also have round the clock
access to factory personnel and to our large factory inventory.
At VCI, we not only service what we sell, we will assume
responsibility for equipment supplied by others. Our staff are
factory trained in electronics, pneumatic instrumentation,
control applications and computer software technology to provide
a complete service offering.
Research and Development: In today's world of advancing technology, VCI Controls is
dedicated to making those advances work for our clients. The
first direct digital control (DDC), all-electronic building
automation system in Canada was installed by VCI. And our
investment in new technologies continues.
Our most recent product addition, the 9100 Networked Energy
Management System, is the result of an effort by a development
team with expertise in electronics, instrumentation, software
and
control applications. Building on the success of our 8100
series,
the 9100 features advanced networking facilities, allowing full
distributed capabilities throughout the building.
VCI Controls... combining high technology and building control
expertise to bring the computer to the construction site.
