QEI, Inc.

QEI, Inc., founded in 1960 as Quindar Electronics, designs and manufactures Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment and systems. The founders, experts in solid-state theory, initially produced one of the first transistorized families of audio-tone based telemetry and control products which became the industry standard.

Over the next 15 years, the company emerged as a leader in all aspects of the supervisory control business. Starting with its historic tone telemetry models, Quindar continued to add innovative products to provide their customers with "intelligent" Supervisory Control systems. Quindar pioneered the incorporation of microprocessors in remote stations and minicomputers in master stations.

In 1975 the assets, product rights, the Quindar logo and most of the key technical personnel of Quindar Electronics, Inc. were acquired by a new organization, QEI, Inc. QEI continued to market the same products under the Quindar logo with the same dedication and support that had been the trademark of Quindar.

QEI, a full service company, provides total engineering, manufacturing, training, and service support to its customers. Based in New Jersey, QEI enjoys a convenient location at 60 Fadem Road in Springfield. Our offices and factory, in the Union County Industrial Park just off Route 22, are only six miles from Newark International Airport.

QEI is committed to providing the highest level of quality in our products and systems as evidenced by our ISO-9001 certification. The certification processes went smoothly and quickly due to the fact that quality processes had been in place for some time.

QEI, Inc. continues today as a healthy, growing, user-oriented electronics company engaged in the development and manufacture of advanced, solid-state equipment for use in communications, data transmission, supervisory control and data acquisition systems. Our engineers, scientists, and project personnel continue to pursue new technologies and new applications. Their many years of experience in applying a broad spectrum of technologies has enabled QEI equipment to play an important role in the fields of water, gas, power, petroleum, pipeline, railroad, steel, communication, traffic control, and telemetry.

QEI's products and systems are "standardized." They are designed and engineered from their inception to satisfy field operating needs as off-the-shelf items. All are assembled from time-proven components in compact, rugged, interchangeable modules. The standard modules, both hardware and firmware, are assembled to the customer's specifications forming an integrated system which meets operational needs.

QEI personnel work closely with the end user. We establish a direct engineering/service rapport and assure that our customers fully utilize the equipment. To this end, QEI maintains a Customer Service Department that offers technical assistance and technical training. A highly focused department of professionals provides support for new and existing installations. Additionally, these same professionals teach the training classes offered by QEI . This allows the individuals who are "making the product perform" to improve the applicability of the training. The training and assistance offered provide QEI users with the foundation of skills and knowledge necessary to maintain the highest level of system performance.

QEI is supervisory control. As one of the largest independent firms providing SCADA to the utility and communications industry, QEI is large enough to retain the best personnel, yet small enough for our personnel to have a keen interest in our customers' satisfaction. We will continue to innovate with excellence while responding to the needs of the market. You can build your information and control infrastructure with confidence using QEI.
