About IDS
The Electric Utility industry seems to be constantly under change. Deregulation, re-regulation, transmission network security, environmental regulations, new technologies, information systems, network security, buyouts, mergers … all of these things to distract utilities from following their charter – to keep the lights on!
Our Background
Brought together from many backgrounds, to provide complete turn-key systems for a control vendor in the 90’s, we have developed our own philosophy for serving our customers.
Industrial Design Solutions was formed by experienced control system engineers who found that vendors were leaning toward selling “packaged” systems while cutting back on support and system customization. However, no two power plants are alike, nor should they be. Each has a unique set of problems to overcome and advantages they can exploit.
Built out of trust and teamwork, we stay focused on the customer problems to be solved without the constraints of a large corporation.
Our Staff
Our staff has a broad spectrum of experience in the Electric Utility Industry. We have worked as both customer, vendor, and service contractor. As employees in Betterment Engineering, Operations, and service departments we understand from a customer’s eyes that it takes more than an “off the shelf package”. As employees for Control System, SCADA, and software vendors, we understand what can be provided. As your Control Experts, we understand how to bring the two together to solve your needs in a new and innovative way.
Our Business Philosophy
Our mission is to act as partners with our customers to make their goals the same as our own. We accept ownership side-by-side with our customers to work toward a reasonable solution.
