⚡ Is your power infrastructure ready to handle the exponential surge driven by AI and automation?

As electrification, high-density computing, and automated operations expand, industrial facilities are putting unprecedented pressure on an already fragile power grid. Legacy energy systems were simply not built for today's data-intensive demands, making grid instability and capacity constraints two of the biggest threats to operational continuity and growth.

To help mitigate these emerging risks, ACS experts Mike Daugird, Director of Facility Design and Engineering, and Matt Guise, Project Manager, will be featured on a Power Progress virtual webinar, focusing on how industrial leaders are modernizing their power infrastructure for long-term resilience and reliability.

Traditional planning relies on static checklists, often leading to budget overruns, delays, and underperforming test cells. Compliance guidelines specify what a test must achieve, but they fail to dictate how a facility should deliver those conditions. Without early baseline assessments, teams face hidden costs and expensive late-stage retrofits.

In his latest Design News article, ACS Director, Project Strategy and Development, Matt Jorgensen, presents the practical case for discovery-led planning. By applying an inside-out sequence, engineering leaders align infrastructure, automation, and footprint with true operational needs before procurement begins.

When EV battery testing pushes limits, safety cannot be compromised. To protect an automotive manufacturer’s R&D facility from thermal runaway, ACS engineered a fail-safe dual-unit battery containment and storage system located safely outside the building walls.

The custom solution features continuous hazard monitoring, hardwired security alerts, and an automated dunk tank with smart submersion logic to cool and discharge high-risk batteries safely.

As consumer demand shifts toward versatile vehicle architectures, automotive OEMs are rethinking total electrification to navigate market volatility and infrastructure limitations. In our latest Design News article, "Navigating the Hybrid Shift," ACS Director of Business Development Zach Patterson explores how a flexible engineering strategy bridging traditional combustion and high-voltage innovation helps mitigate financial risk while advancing vehicle technology.

To successfully manage this evolution, manufacturers need future-ready test infrastructure. By implementing modular test cells and hardware-agnostic control systems, engineering teams can validate low- and high-voltage platforms side by side without duplicating equipment costs.

Substantial completion doesn't guarantee day-one performance.

When complex facilities treat mechanical, electrical, and control systems as isolated scope items, project teams face a compounding "silo tax" of unexpected expenses and late-stage startup delays.

In a recent IFMA Facility Management Journal article, "Beyond Substantial Completion: The Proven Path to a True Operational Readiness Strategy," ACS experts Everett Lenz and Matt Thiel explore why systems integration must begin during early project planning rather than late-stage commissioning. Key takeaways include:
⚙️Design inside-out: Lock in controls and utility needs early.
⚙️Eliminate silo tax: Bridge IT and OT upfront to avoid costly fixes.
⚙️Ensure operational readiness: Turn handovers into smooth, data-driven rollouts.

Through our Ntandem™ systems integration program, ACS aligns facility infrastructure, equipment, and automation controls into a cohesive whole, ensuring your test asset performs as intended on day one.

Automating heavy physical labor on manufacturing lines transformed operations for a leading corrugated box manufacturer. Faced with severe labor shortages and high shift rotation demands, the company deployed a custom Kawasaki robotic palletizing system to fully automate the end of its collator line.

The custom solution handles seven distinct box sizes, protects product integrity with precision grip controls, and allows workers to add new product profiles directly through a single controller pendant in just thirty minutes.

By replacing a physically demanding role across multiple shifts, the automated system reduced line labor needs from three workers to two while boosting plant flexibility and worker safety.
