Facilities and their power requirements change. When they do, the answer goes beyond maintenance. Carter’s Engineering Services group modernizes and redesigns electrical and control systems so power infrastructure keeps pace with the operation.
Retrofit solutions for aging or unsupported generator control platforms and power modules, including ECS 100, GCCP, and EMCP systems. Emissions retrofit packages available for Cat engines subject to updated air quality requirements.
New paralleling and distribution systems, switchgear controls retrofits, and ATS upgrades for facilities whose infrastructure no longer matches operational requirements — from full modernization to targeted retrofits and breaker reconfigurations.
Custom enclosures, controls, and turnkey packaging for industrial engine applications where standard configurations don’t fit the application, including fuel and cooling system integration. Designed and built to the specific situation.
Custom propulsion engine control solutions and genset controls for commercial vessel applications. Designed and built in-house for marine environments.
Remote touch screens, custom human-machine interface panels, and remote ATS controls and monitoring for facilities that need better operational visibility than their current system provides.
Remote monitoring systems, EMS integration, data aggregation, and fuel monitoring solutions that connect power infrastructure to facility-level platforms. For facilities that need their power systems visible and coordinated across the operation.
Carter’s engineering group operates from a 10,000+ sq ft facility combining office, lab, shop, and warehouse space. Carter’s engineering specialists bring a combined 289 years of industry experience — averaging more than two decades each — in controls, switchgear, marine, industrial, and building automation. The group designs, fabricates, and tests solutions in-house, and produces control upgrade kits used by Cat dealers across North America.
Carter’s engineers evaluate the existing system alongside the facility’s operational requirements. Customers often arrive with a solution in mind; the assessment determines whether that solution fits the actual problem.
Carter’s engineering group develops the upgrade approach and prepares documentation for review. For regulated facilities, this includes formal submittal to the customer’s engineers before work begins.
Control panels, electrical components, and custom assemblies are built and tested in Carter’s facility before they reach the site. What arrives has already been verified to function.
On-site implementation within the existing system, followed by full commissioning — all failure modes and functions tested under operating conditions. The project closes with documentation and customer training.
Carter’s engineering group can assess the situation and develop a path forward — whether you’re evaluating a controls upgrade, planning a switchgear modernization, or facing a problem that hasn’t found a solution elsewhere.
