DCS Support Agreements keep plants running
And the survey says…
We just competed a survey of customers who are covered by a Trident Support Agreement and responses indicate ongoing support has its advantages. According to feedback from our customers:
-
- 96% of our customers rank Trident service courtesy good or excellent
- 84% of our customers ranked Trident good or excellent to work with
- 86% of our customers rank Trident’s after hours support good or excellent
One feature of our support agreements is 24-hour support, which is often the difference between keeping a plant on line and lost production. For Commonwealth Agri-Energy in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, one phone call on a weekend solved a potential problem. “We were without trending capabilities and one call to Trident in the middle of the night saved us,” said Kenny Wirts, plant manager. “Ethanol is a 24/7, 365-day a year business and we need partners with the same mind set.”
DCS Support Agreements are customized to each specific customer’s needs but typically include
- 20 hours of remote support from our technical team via a secure internet connection
- One three (3) day onsite visit for preventative maintenance of the controls system
- Reduced engineering rates on all work performed under contract
- Reduced minimums on after hours, Sunday, and Holiday call ins
- Reduced tuition for DCS training provided by Trident Automation
- DCS Backups
- Quarterly Reports of services performed
- Same day response from a Trident team member
According to John Madajewski of CertainTeed, “We have highly customized operating systems and Trident has been a key part of our team, because they spent time to learn our process and focus on making the plant successful.”
