COMPANY VALUES AND PROJECT METHODOLOGY


“Based on their ethics, structure and performanceoriented culture, we feel that Bachelor Controls is the obvious choice for risk management. I trust them in the design and implementation of our entire control system.”

JEFF BRUGGER, ENGINEERING MANAGER KERRY SWEET INGREDIENTS
“BCI put a lot of emphasis on front-end design and forced me to be a better customer. They made us work hard to answer important questions up front so they could provide a return that was closer to what we actually wanted versus what we started with.”
MIKE WILLIAMS, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING KING'S HAWAIIAN

“I am convinced that Bachelor Controls' value to the project considering all aspects; from design concept through start-up and commissioning - is among the best in the industry. The next time I am involved in a complex, high-risk project, I would expect to look to BCI to provide the leadership and guidance needed to meet our objectives.”

DON SCOTT, VICE PRESIDENT OF MANUFACTURING NATURA PET PRODUCTS

“The first thing the folks from Bachelor Controls did was to ask a million-and-one questions - every one important. It certainly paid off. During startup everything just "clicked.”

ED TROMPETER, CORPORATE DIRECTOR GLUTEN AND STARCH PRODUCTION MGP INGREDIENTS, INC

“We started working with Bachelor Controls about 25 years ago. Their communication, service and responsiveness have been amazing. Doing the FAT and training at their site saved us more than a week’s worth of uptime, which is huge for our company.”

"IT WAS THE BEST PROJECT I'VE EVER BEEN INVOLVED WITH."

BOB COWEE, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING CONTINENTAL MILLS

I just am amazed at the ownership Dan and Alden have had for the upgrade they did on our system. I am overly impressed with your company and especially Dan and Alden. I tell them thank you a lot, but don’t know if they realize how amazing it is to have worked with a company with such ownership and caring and customer service. I deal with a lot of companies, and I can say yours is the best I have dealt with in 25 years. We had some stumbles and small glitches but everything has been taken care of ASAP. Thank you to the project team again.

AUTOMATION AND PROCESS CONTROL ENGINEER, FORTUNE 100 CHEMICAL COMPANY

First of all, I want to thank each of you for your great work on this project! I know a remote installation was not ideal, however, I believe it worked out great! I’m extremely grateful for the technology and everyone’s professionalism during this time.

COMPLETE FACILITY INTEGRATION


“Bachelor Controls’ project methodology and management procedures enabled us to implement a major control system software conversion project during a single weekend shutdown with minimal problems and without losing any scheduled production.
“Thanks to the dedicated efforts and outstanding teamwork demonstrated by everyone on the project team, the control system software conversion was truly world class. This was not just a home run, but a Grand Slam.”

BOB DURBIU, PROJECT MANAGER CONTINENTAL MILLS
“We knew the magnitude of the controls conversion project would be like a ‘heart transplant’ for our facility. We relied on Bachelor Controls to guide us in making the most effective decisions for our control system needs. We take great comfort in knowing our control system is designed to meet our specific needs, with replacement parts available locally. I don’t see how we could have done this project any other way.”
ROGER HILL, GENERAL MANAGER GOLDEN TRIANGLE ENERGY

“Based on their past experience in the industry, Bachelor Controls knew what we wanted. They knew what we were actually about. The control system is a Cadillac.”

CAMERON TALLEY, DISTILLERY SHIFT SUPERVISOR WILD TURKEY BOURBON
Allen Bradley directed us to Bachelor Controls as a competent systems integrator with experience working with Allen-Bradley components. We were impressed with their experience with a broad range of automated systems and how quickly they were able to understand the details of our complex system.”
JOHN QUALLS, PROJECT ENGINEER A.P. GREEN INDUSTRIES, INC
“Bachelor Controls worked with us to create an innovative solution to a critical inspection in the assembly of the V-Rod engine. The result is a robust and precise application that does not add any additional cycle time to the process.”
