Stand Sure Controls Web Site is under construction. Many pages are set to private currently but will soon be active and viewable. There will be a lot of great information at your convenience for all of your controls needs.

Thank you and have a great New Year!

Stand Sure Controls is dedicated in providing high quality and efficient solutions to your controls, PLC Programming, SCADA, and CAD services. We still believe in the ‘Hand Shake’ approach to doing business with our customers. Getting paid is always welcome but building long term relationships is more important…even if it costs Stand Sure Controls a few small sacrifices to keep those relationships solidified. We are both customers to each other after all.

Services we provide:

  • PLC Programming (Design, Reverse Engineer, Install, Service)
  • SCADA and the PCs that the software is installed on (Full Conversion, Upgrades to New PCs, Modification/Addition to Existing)
  • Industrial Controls both PLC and Hardwire driven (Design, Reverse Engineer, Install, Service)
  • Field services to verify calibrations on all your analytical instruments as well as replacements
  • Provide consultation on your Industrial Control Panel SCCR calculations that detail from top to bottom component sizing to verify if you are doing it right

What makes us different:

  • Highly experienced efficient PLC coding and once the PLC program is done you get full source.
  • Keep It Simple Stupid (K.I.S.S.) is the drive behind all of our controls. Make it SIMPLE for us to work with you over the phone to troubleshoot and save money.
  • Quotes are simple and no hidden costs…ever. Usually there are no extra charges for small things during the production/development cycle. If there is a possibility of a change order to the contract it will be given immediately with a conversation and a handshake.
  • Our prices will be very hard to beat because of our simple company structure and very low mark ups for material. We also know you can do an internet search and come up with your own prices and get an opinion on how bad you are getting raked over the coals. So we open up the conversation and have transparency so you can see where your prices stand….item by item. (Misc supplies like tape, terminals, minor screws….etc. Are always lumped as a Misc since there is really no way to know exactly what type of material will be used during installation/commissioning).
  • Schedule focused. We know that controls are down at the very bottom/end when it comes to schedules but the system needs to operate right then! Knowing this there are a lot of things that can be done and simulated prior to the field items take place. Your installation and commissioning phases will never be smoother. I guarantee it!
  • We are with you every step of the way. Does not matter if we are reverse engineering an industrial machine or implementing a large Waste Water Facility. Small or Large we are with you every step of the way. Please ask for updates or if you would like to see how things are going. We will do our best to answer all of your needs and concerns. We want you to be comfortable in your process.

Stand Sure Controls History:
  • Don Anderson (me) started with a handyman service shortly after serving in the Navy in the late 80’s. During some custom house addition work one of my customers asked if I could repair some waste water pumps so they did not have to be shipped across the country. I said ‘let me see’ so we did and I said ‘Yes’ and did very good work for him. After many pumps repaired he suggested I go to school for Field Engineering since I have a knack for both Electrical and Mechanical.
  • Fives years later I had a Electro-Mechanical Technical Engineering Degree (Field Engineer, Process Engineer, Systems Engineer…all related).
  • I have worked in commercial and industrial electrical but prefer the industrial side because of its variety. I fell in love with Water and Waste Water Industrial controls while working in Automotive Paint Finishing Systems designing and field installation of water and pumping controls. When 9/11 2001 happened the Automotive Industry went through some big changes and a lot of Field Engineers were sent finding  new path.
  • I hired on (contract then direct) as a Field Engineer for a Water and Waste Water Integrator and from there never looked back at what industries I really enjoyed working in. After almost 10yrs I left to start up my own company that for marketing reasons never took off. After some time paying off the company debt and going completely debt free I landed work with another Integrator in Texas. After 2.5yrs of frustrations of customers simply not being supported properly I left to give Stand Sure Controls a new push with an old policy.
  • I am not really a marketing person but I do know industrial controls better than almost everyone. I pay attention to people and am really honest about the process and what is happening. Not much of a ‘Grey Area’ person. Most like it and some that like ‘Grey’ don’t.
  • This is what is behind Stand Sure Controls. I want to leave a lasting legacy of friendly hand shake friendships that we can sit back and have an ice cold brew/tea or hot coffee and just talk about ‘nothing’ since the systems are working so smoothly. That is what life is about and what I am about.
  • Let my 29 years of very heavy industrial controls experience work with you.
