Ultrasonic cleaning services

EMC is excited to introduce Ultrasonic Cleaning services for DC armatures and parts to our ever-expanding customer base. Using the latest technology, EMC looks to increase efficiency and productivity while potentially decreasing down time to our customers.

How it works: Ultrasonic uses shock waves to create rapid changes of pressure the cleaning solution that lead to the formation and collapse of bubbles or “cavitation”. This cavitation in turn, creates a tiny explosion that accelerates the cleaning action of the solution. With the part being fully submerged, ultrasonic is able to get into the unreachable area of a DC Armature that conventional steam cleaning cannot. The result is a much cleaner part with potential increased life span.

In addition to cleaning DC armatures, we will be able to clean Synchronous Rotors and intricate parts such as Brush Rigging and heat exchangers with clogged passages.

EMC Contingency Plans for Coronavirus spread

EMC Employees

Employees will be briefed on the following:

Basic education on the coronavirus, including methods of transmission and symptoms. Enhanced personal hygiene measures to be used at home and at work.

Monitoring Viral Outbreaks

Management will monitor the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and National Institute for Health (NIH) websites for updates on a daily basis.

Prevention Measures

In the case of the coronavirus, all employees will be asked if they or any family members have traveled to any of the affected areas listed by the CDC.

There will be no business travel to affected areas and domestic travel will be discouraged.

Employees will be required to inform HR if they or a family member have traveled to an affected area.

If employees or a family member have visited an affected area, they will not be permitted to return to work or provide onsite services to our customers until after a quarantine period and physician release.

Visitors to our facilities will be asked if they or their family members have traveled to any of the affected areas. Those who have will not be permitted to enter our site.

Subcontractors to our facilities will be required to assure us that their employees and family members have not visited any of the affected areas. Those who have will not be permitted to enter our site.

If an employee or family member has contracted the virus, the employee will not be permitted to return to work until released by a physician.

Detection Measures

Employees exhibiting symptoms consistent with the coronavirus will be required to see a physician prior to returning to work.

Response Measures

We have the network and remote communication ability to have all of our back office and support staff work from home if needed.

We have enhanced camera surveillance capabilities that can allow even mid-level or first-line management to monitor and direct operations remotely.

Our field services staff can also work remotely if needed and need not be dispatched or return to our facility.

Our sales staff is not based at either of our facilities.

We have two locations that have similar capabilities (location depth).

We have in place an emergency response plan for natural disasters to ensure we can continue to provide services. This plan can be adapted to respond to a viral outbreak.

Critical Vendors and Critical Raw Materials

We have identified our critical vendors and critical raw materials and determined that none of the critical vendors or critical raw materials are located in any of the affected areas.

EMC Internal Capabilities

Although we subcontract a few services out of efficiency and cost, we can internalize almost all the services we contract out. For the services we cannot internalize there are several vendors that can supply our needs.

Prioritizing Work in Labor Shortages

We have experienced minor labor shortages in the past due to flu season and other causes. In this case all work is prioritized by Senior Management and extended working hours are instituted.

EMC Partners With TCC

EMC is pleased to have partnered with TCC on its first state-registered apprenticeship program. Check out our recent feature in TCC Today, which showcases our first class of inside machinist apprentices.
