ACS has officially formalized its designation as a Siemens Solutions Partner – Drives Automation. Through this expanded partnership, ACS combines its expertise in packaging, thermal management, and systems integration with Siemens’ advanced drive technology to deliver fully integrated motor drive and automation solutions for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications.
The collaboration addresses increasing demand for flexible, energy-efficient systems while overcoming the technical complexities of integrating commercial HVAC drives and high-performance industrial drives used in sophisticated load and motion control environments. ACS brings comprehensive capabilities, including optimized cabinet design, advanced thermal management with forced-air and liquid-cooled enclosures, and safety-integrated automation systems tailored to demanding operational requirements.

“Our partnership with Siemens allows us to deliver complete solutions that guarantee performance and compliance,” says Matt Thiel, Director of Integration Engineering at ACS. “We combine their depth of technology resources with our application know-how to simplify complexity for our customers, whether that’s meeting FAA certification requirements or optimizing facility energy efficiency.”
As a systems integrator and turnkey solutions provider, ACS oversees the entire project lifecycle, from initial design and equipment specification to installation and final commissioning. The company incorporates Siemens drives, motors, and safety programmable logic controllers (PLCs) into customized systems ranging from multi-axis test platforms to full-scale production automation. By serving as a single-source partner, ACS minimizes project risk, accelerates delivery schedules, and ensures seamless integration across all components.
A recent electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft project illustrates the value of the ACS-Siemens approach. ACS delivered a complete four-axis dynamometer system meeting stringent certification deadlines:
- 1,205 hp AC regenerative system with Siemens SINAMICS S120 drives and SIMOTICS motors;
- Flight-load simulation with precision required for FAA and EASA certification;
- Energy recovery design that returns power to the grid, reducing consumption during continuous high-power testing;
- Complete thermal and control coordination managed on an accelerated timeline.
This project demonstrates how the ACS-Siemens partnership helps manufacturers meet critical certification and performance requirements while maintaining aggressive development schedules. These capabilities extend beyond specialized test stands to full production automation, facility systems integration, and energy-efficient industrial operations across the aerospace, automotive, HVAC, and industrial manufacturing markets.
