QA Graphics Offers Expertise to Ensure Quality Products
QA Graphics, a leader in the graphic outsourcing industry, seeks continuous improvement during every stage of their design/build process. Key product offerings such as system graphics and templates must maintain a performance level that is compatible with various platforms to provide the highly efficient outputs clients are seeking to attain. QA Graphics achieves this goal through professionally trained staff whose expertise is evident on various platforms and possess great focus on customer expectations.
QA Graphics recently demonstrated going to the next level of customer satisfaction, with an established client whose business relationship with QA Graphics has grown over the past four years. Their service needs have ranged from floor plans, system graphic backgrounds, and U.I. design. Most recently they have come full circle to turn key graphic solutions.
“Making sure our clients get a high quality and efficient product is our top priority,” said QA Graphics BAS Manager, Steve Chase. “Our designers meet with this client’s team bi-yearly to discuss what the process is now and how we can improve the current product offering, but also what we can do together to help streamline their graphical output. During the latest meeting it was discussed that while our output was at a high level, there was some on site work that is inevitable on any job.”
Teamed up, QA Graphics and their client developed a plan to reduce the touchup work by fine-tuning QA Graphics standards to better emulate the final output the client was seeking. This plan was based off of desired output level, QA Graphic’s expertise, and a blend of the qualities that QA Graphics was doing that appealed to the client. A site visit was also completed, as well as training multiple QA Graphic’s staff to offer point mapping with the platform, Trane® TracerTM ES & SC and Tridium Niagara. The new blended output improved efficiency for both parties, reduced cost, and improved future collaborative efforts with QA Graphics and the client’s participating branches.
Point Binding Implementation – QA Graphics Point Binding Implementation is the process of remotely accessing a client’s BAS system to install and bind the graphics needed. QA Graphics is also able to build the graphics offline, allowing you to bind.

QA Graphics provide point binding implementation for six of the largest control companies in the building automation industry.

Expanding our BAS Graphic Outsourcing Services
QA Graphics, a leader in the building automation system (BAS) graphic outsourcing industry, is well-versed in most control manufacture software. In the last year, the company has diversified its service offerings to build graphics using several new platforms. QA Graphics now offers new services for control manufacturing software, including: DGLux5 and Project Assist 2.0, Trane® TracerTM ES & SC, Niagara® 4, and Schneider Electric® – StruxureWareTM. Projects have already been completed in-house and are live for all of these platforms.
“We are seeing huge growth in this service area,” said Dan McCarty, owner and president of QA Graphics. “As the software gets more complex and advanced, it gets harder for the control installers to keep up to date on these new platforms. That’s where QA Graphics comes in. Our team’s main focus is creating graphics and training on the latest platforms so you don’t have to. Once companies decide to outsource their graphic needs, the return on investment is enormous. They free up time for their technicians, and building owners reap the rewards. Graphics are not just something to look at any longer, they are the litmus test for the user experience for the entire BAS.”
“The other major change we’ve noticed is that building owners want to keep their graphics and floorplans domestic,” he said. “That’s another plus to working with us. All of our services are done in-house, right here in the Midwest.”
QA Graphics creates system graphics for control manufacturers and system integrators around the world. The company’s team of technical graphic designers and 3D designers will remain on the front line of change as the industry continues to evolve. With more than 10 years’ experience providing BAS graphic services, the company continues to be the go-to source for custom BAS solutions.
