Applied Intelligence Corporation (AIC) is a complete electrical engineering service provider dedicated to being your automation partner. It all began in 1985 as many small companies do; a great idea and a garage. The idea was to make control panels with the same precision as circuit boards. All components should be placed for assembly and cooling requirements, and labeled for ease of replacement. All wires should flow like traces on a circuit board and be clearly labeled without having to move the wire to read it. The final step is thorough testing that includes a "tug test", actual voltage testing (up to 600V) and photos of each enclosure that goes out the door. This attention to detail in the panel shop eventually crossed over to an Engineering staff. The Engineers specialize in hardware design and are the "Engineer's Engineer" for most of our customers. This allows AIC them to build from a napkin sketch or CAD drawings. AIC designs panels for noise considerations and are one of the few builders that perform actual heat calculations for the components used to insure maximum component life. The hardware focus that AIC takes means they have specific knowledge for many PLC's, HMI's and VFD's that go in the panels they build. They are able to cross reference and select backwards compatible replacements based on experience, and not just what is published in spec sheets. Bottom line is most engineers in the industrial world today are project managers rather than down in the trenches engineers. They look to AIC to do the engineering because they trust our work....they know the project will be done on time, on budget, at a fair price. Trust is truth over time....AIC has built it customer by customer.
