From challenge to

completed project

A 400,000 sq. ft. automotive distribution facility in Michigan needed its conveyor system wired on a fast-track schedule. Spark Power hit every Phase 1 milestone, and that performance turned a short job into a longer-term engagement covering the facility’s automation, robotics, and perimeter systems.

How we

solved it

  • Staffed Phase 1 to the deadline, so the conveyor schedule never waited on electrical.
  • Used Phase 1 execution as the proof point that earned the expanded scope.
  • Installed field devices, drives, communications, and disconnects as one integrated automation scope for clean commissioning.
  • Designed site power around how the facility operates, including a perimeter ring for automated retrieval and delivery.

The metrics

that matter

  • Phase 1 delivered in 8 weeks with zero delays. Every Phase 1 milestone was completed on schedule, keeping the conveyor installation on track.
  • Complex Exotec robotic system integrated without issues. Specialized robotic system commissioned cleanly, demonstrating capability across advanced automation environments.
  • Scope expanded to year-long engagement based on performance. Phase 2 and continued engagement awarded on the strength of Phase 1 execution quality.
  • Full electrical perimeter ring constructed for automated operations. Fenced perimeter electrical system built to support continuous automated retrieval and delivery.
