“California-based Innovative Engineering Systems, (IES) is a dynamic young company specializing in the design, engineering, and programming of upstream oil & gas facilities and processes. Strong demand for laser scanning brownfield projects has enabled IES to invest in developing specialized expertise in high-value scanning and as-building services. As a result, not only can it offer cost savings ranging from 25% to as much as 70% on laser scanned data, it is also able to apply Lean Construction methodologies to revamp projects.” — AVEVA World Magazine 2014 Issue 2, pg 20.

This year’s annual IES Summer Event was a huge success! Around 200 IES employees and their families enjoyed a barbeque and river rafting at Riverside Park in historic Kernville, California. We are already looking forward to next year!
IES Engineering SPAR Video LIVE on GeoSpatial Stream
Matt Ball interviews Matt Zbysenski, Piping Desinger, IES Engineering, at SPAR International in Colorado Springs, Colorado. They discuss laser scanning (LiDAR) in the construction workflow, safety mitigation, cost/time savings, pre-fabricated construction, and oil & gas uses. http://eepurl.com/TzjE1
IES Attends SPAR
“SPAR International 3D Measurement & Imaging Conference brings together professionals from around the world to discover the latest advances and technologies in 3D data capture, processing and delivery to drive efficiency, improve workflows, reduce project timelines, improve safety and mitigate risk.
SPAR International is comprised of a multi-track conference where 3D experts share information on business and technology considerations to answer such questions as:
-Which 3D capture, processing and visualization tools are best for specific project applications? -Which tools will meet your needs for accuracy while staying within cost limitations? -What are best methods for processing and managing large data sets? -How best to share 3D information across the web with many stakeholders?
Running alongside the conference is an exhibition that showcases solutions from all the major hardware manufacturers and software developers. SPAR International is the market’s only platform-neutral event.
The event encompasses 3D data capture in all its forms including 3D laser scanning, LiDAR, structured light, photogrammetry and more for terrestrial, airborne, subsurface and underwater measurement. Capture methods range from static, mobile mapping, portable laser scanning, unmanned vehicles (UAVs), Kinect and more. Presentations deliver the latest solutions for point cloud processing, software integration and workflows, 3D/4D GIS, BIM, open source options and more. Visualization and delivery discussions address web sharing, augmented reality, simulation, asset virtualization, urban visualization and photo-realistic representation and 3D printing.
SPAR International attracts professionals involved in the design, construction and operation of process, power and offshore facilities; bridges, roads, tunnels and other civil and transportation infrastructure; building and architecture; law enforcement, defense and security; digital cultural heritage; automotive, aerospace and other discrete manufacturing; aircraft, ships, and other large-scale capital assets.”

IES, Now a Rockwell Recognized System Integrator
Bakersfield, CA –IES Engineering (IES) announced today that they have been selected by Rockwell Automation to become a Rockwell Recognized System Integrator. Recognized Systems Integrators must meet Rockwell’s rigorous standards for technical excellence and demonstrate a proven ability to innovate as industry leaders, while delivering timely technical solutions.
This new relationship will serve to enhance the joint ability of both companies to provide mutual clients with optimized technical solutions and customer service.
IES Engineering’s long history with Rockwell Automation across a wide variety of projects and disciplines ensures this partnership’s success. Rockwell and IES are both home to knowledgeable professionals, cutting-edge technology, integrated safety systems, and leading customer service. “This partnership will strengthen IES’ ability to better implement Rockwell technologies, delivering shared clients an even better value,” says IES Programming Division Manager, Jordan Stockton.
According to James Westerfield, Recognized System Integrator Program Lead of Rockwell Automation, “Recognized System Integrators are resources who are best positioned to reduce project risk when leveraging our technologies.” Recognized Rockwell System Integrators are “competent and committed to lead with Rockwell Automation and have a mutually supportive relationship with the Rockwell Automation sales and/or distributors they work with.”
“Rockwell has made a meaningful contribution to the development of our team toward this strengthened partnership. Our competencies and capabilities have expanded greatly,” says IES President, David Wolfer. “This is a distinctive honor and recognition of our historical success with Rockwell Automation.”
