Owner — Local Brewery

"We rely on Barb Electrical for all our automation, controls, and equipment support needs. Their team has helped us to recover from emergency downtime scenarios, redesigned our systems to increase uptime and ease of maintenance, and provided upgrades for several of our legacy automation systems. They deliver responsive, knowledgeable, and quality work on time."

Maintenance and Engineering Manager — Central Kentucky Paper Goods Manufacturer

"The team at Barb Electrical designed and installed a new sortation system that integrated with our existing warehouse management system to automate a heavily manual process that resulted in significant efficiency gains as well as increased process quality while reducing bottlenecks — their team really understands procedural optimizations and customer needs."

Maintenance and Engineering Manager — Retail Order Fulfillment

"They showed up on short notice in response to a failed PLC in one of our ride systems. The team took the lead right away to investigate the issue, procure a replacement PLC fast, program it and get us back up and running quickly. They even took the time to clean up the electrical panel, update the schematics, create a detailed report, and provide training to our staff with new maintenance and troubleshooting documentation."
