Zang Agency
Overview
Zang helped SUNY Oneonta replace all 40 of their existing transformers. We solved difficult design and delivery problems to ensure everything went smoothly from production to shipping to receiving and installation.
The Problem
SUNY Oneonta needed 40 different transformers replaced, but no two were alike. Each would be installed in a different building (and designed to fit in that specific place) and each would need to meet that specific building’s power requirements. Both design and delivery were a challenge.
The Solution
First, we designed each transformer to meet the unique needs of its building. Then we mapped and measured every inch of the route the transformers would take to their install locations–each had to fit through all the halls on the way. Finally, we figured out a delivery schedule that batched a few transformers together at a time. This gave SUNY Oneonta the bandwidth to receive, transport, and install the transformers as they arrived without having to wait or store them. It also made it easier for the manufacturer to keep pace with the production schedule.
The Result
Replacing their full line of transformers means SUNY Oneonta will have much higher energy efficiency, and that means lower energy bills. Power will be more reliable in every building– less prone to surges and less electrical noise that could damage sensitive instruments. The new transformers will be a lot easier to maintain than the old ones and will last longer as a result.
Because of our plan, SUNY Oneonta gets all the benefits of a full transformer overhaul without the hassle of storing, transporting, and installing all 40 new units at one time.
