In the world of employment policies, there is a magical two-word phrase that suddenly changes one key policy (the infamous dress code) into something completely different: “casual day.” The casual day is a specific time when employees are allowed, and sometimes encouraged, to dress in a more casual, relaxed, and laidback style than the normal dress code calls for, and is generally seen as a fun way to break from the norm. At aeSolutions, we have our own version of the casual day every Friday. On these days, employees who aren’t meeting with clients or working at a job site may wear jeans and a more casual shirt to the office. Occasionally, this can lead to some funny discoveries about an employee’s fashion sense, or propensity to go clothes shopping at the same stores (check out the picture of Ken and Josh, who came in as accidental twins a few weeks ago!), but overall it’s appreciated by everyone as a way to relax as we close out another fast-paced week. This tradition started in our Greenville, SC headquarters, but as the company has grown and expanded into Texas, Alaska, and beyond, it’s been fascinating to watch how our “dress down” Fridays have been incorporated into each office. Our Greenville office, which has an average January temperature of about 50 degrees, is where you’ll usually see the most t-shirts year-round. During the college football season, all the shirts in the office seem to change color at the same time, and it’s not uncommon to see clusters of Clemson Orange or University of SC Garnet & Black take over some of our conference rooms. Meanwhile, over in our Houston office, polo shirts (the unofficial uniform of engineers everywhere) tend to come out in full force when Friday rolls around. Given the heat, we’ve recently even incorporated a system where employees can contribute to fundraising efforts for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in order to earn a “shorts day” – which is much appreciated in the middle of summer! The Anchorage office has its own unique take on the day. Some of our Anchorage staff actually start the week at the exact opposite end of the spectrum, wearing ties on Monday (not required by our dress code!) This makes the eventual “dress down” on Friday all the more visible. For most of the year, these days are accompanied by a sea of flannel taking over the office. For a rare handful of weeks in the summer the odd short-sleeved shirt will make an appearance, but those usually disappear before September and the season’s first snow. Regardless of the office you’re in, our casual Friday has become an important part of the aeSolutions culture. We have fun with it and get to show off what snazzy dressers we can be while staying focused on continuously improving the process safety performance of our clients.

New Offering Will be Built on Rockwell Automation’s ControlLogix® Platform Greenville, SC – April 10, 2024  – aeSolutions ,   a consulting, engineering and systems integration company that provides industrial process safety and automation products and services, today announced that it has partnered with Rockwell Automation to develop a Factory Mutual (FM) approved fire and gas system (FGS), the FGS 5000, built on Rockwell Automation’s ControlLogix platform. Release of the new product is planned for summer of 2024 awaiting FM approval. This partnership builds on aeSolutions’ long-standing legacy in delivering PLC/DCS based, FM-approved fire and gas systems in the industrial space for more than 20 years.   “aeSolutions is excited to offer the FGS 5000 based on Rockwell Automatic’s ControlLogix platform. We have taken all the features of our existing FGS platforms and incorporated them into this product to bring another high-performing life-safety platform to market,” said aeSolutions Senior Project Manager Warren Johnson. “The FGS 5000 can be used as a standalone system or as an upgrade to legacy fire and gas systems. Customers in hydrogen production, oil & gas, semiconductor, pharmaceutical industries, as well as chemical and manufacturing plants with combustible or toxic gasses will find that the FM-approved FGS 5000 meets all of their regulatory and compliance needs. We look forward to making this new product available in the marketplace.”   Particularly ideal for industrial facilities with an existing installed base of Rockwell Automation systems, the FGS 5000 offers the same features and functionality of its other FGS products. The FGS 5000 is designed to give customers a reliable fire and gas platform that instrument technicians familiar with Rockwell Automation can easily maintain and troubleshoot. The FGS 5000 is highly scalable and is suitable for installations ranging in I/O counts from 50 to 500 and well-beyond.   By using the same hardware/software platform as Rockwell Automation’s Basic Process Control System (BPCS), the FGS 5000 can be integrated seamlessly into a facility’s existing control architecture with common Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), spare parts, training, engineering/configuration tools, maintenance, and procedures, all of which produce a dramatic savings in both installed and lifecycle costs.   A critical component of the FGS 5000 is its FM-approved secondary power supply system which consists of a charger panel and an industrial-integrity battery pack with a 20-year service life. aeSolutions FM-approved battery calculation tool confirms battery and charger sizing is compliant with NFPA 72 requirements for secondary power supplies.   Additionally, aeSolutions provides end-user training for operator, maintenance, and engineering staff, the last of which covers advanced software troubleshooting topics and adding new field devices to existing systems.   For more information about aeSolutions’ FGS products, visit   https://www.aesolutions.com/fire-gas-products .
