Your Turnkey Partner for Integrated Equipment and Facility Solutions

Expertise that Delivers Measurable Results

Incorporated in 1994, ACS provides single-source, turnkey delivery of complex projects across automotive, aerospace, energy, and industrial manufacturing sectors. Rather than fitting a narrow niche, ACS fills a critical gap in the marketplace by bridging the space between specialized equipment design and complete facility construction. Operating under our Ntandem™ program, we design from the inside out, aligning technical specifications directly with your core business performance goals, production targets, and project schedules. From initial concept through final commissioning under a single contract, ACS maintains end-to-end accountability, ensuring your equipment, control systems, and facility operate as a unified, high-performance environment.

Business Value and Operational Impact

Our integrated approach drives measurable operational improvements across every phase of your asset lifecycle, whether you are optimizing a single production cell or executing a multi-million-dollar expansion. By streamlining facility layouts, material flow, and process design, ACS enables organizations to scale output without interrupting ongoing production or requiring proportional increases in staffing. We accelerate time to market by constructing purpose-built test infrastructure and scalable data acquisition systems that support prototyping, iterative design, and seamless transition from R&D validation into full production. We de-risk complex capital investments by embedding operator safety, ergonomic controls, and rigorous acceptance testing directly into the design, allowing you to catch quality issues during testing rather than after customer delivery.

Core Capabilities and Technology

ACS delivers turnkey engineering and delivery across multiple areas:

• Capital projects: We manage the complete lifecycle from Front End Planning (FEP) through engineering, construction management, and commissioning. Whether using design-build, Engineer-Procure-Construct (EPC), or hybrid contracting, we align building infrastructure with internal equipment demands.
• Systems integration (Ntandem): Leveraging our Ntandem framework, we coordinate mechanical, electrical, controls, and software systems to function as a unified whole across individual equipment, specialized test cells, and entire facility builds.
• Specialized test systems: We engineer complex, purpose-built testing environments, including powertrain, battery and electrification, chassis, alternative fuels, NVH, product verification, and modular enclosures, to deliver repeatable and traceable validation data.
• Industrial automation: We integrate robotics, material handling systems, and production testing equipment to automate repetitive processes with precision, consistency, and flexibility while capturing essential process data for quality control.
• Integrated control systems: We engineer custom control architectures for equipment, test cells, and facility systems, tailored around your operational processes and safety requirements for stable, long-term performance.
• Acselerant® software platform: Built in LabVIEW, our Acselerant software platform provides real-time data acquisition, test automation, and facility controls through an open, customizable architecture designed around your engineers’ exact testing workflows.
• Custom machines and equipment: Our in-house fabrication teams work alongside our design engineers to build custom equipment, including electric dynamometers, driveline systems, fluid handling, process piping, and test bed docking fixtures, factory-testing each assembly prior to shipment.

The ACS Turnkey Advantage

Complex projects often fail in the gaps between siloed equipment suppliers and general construction firms. ACS eliminates these integration risks by maintaining cross-disciplinary expertise, engineering, controls, fabrication, and construction, under one roof from day one. Guided by clear performance targets established during initial front end planning, our teams stay onsite through commissioning until every technical specification and operational benchmark is proven. Handover occurs only when your business objectives are fully realized, delivering a seamless transition to full operational performance.
