About DPES

Built on electrical engineering. Focused on complete solutions.

Originally founded in March 2009 as DePeuter Electrical Solutions, DPES established the electrical and controls foundation that continues across the DePeuter organization. In 2014, DePeuter Packaging Solutions was registered to distinguish the growing material-handling business while DPES continued its specialized electrical services.

Headquartered in Houston, DPES designs and builds switchgear, AC and DC drives, and PLC-based control systems while providing electrical installation and project management services.

Since 2009, DPES has supported customers with custom solutions shaped around specialized project requirements.

Why DPES

Coordinated electrical projects from requirements to commissioning

DPES focuses on how the system will be engineered, integrated, and proven—not simply which components are supplied.

Requirements firstConstraints define the architecture
One coordinated scopePower, controls, and instrumentation
Open integrationCompatible existing equipment where practical
Verified deliveryFunctional checks before field deployment

Industrial control cabinet with PLC, variable-frequency drives, protection devices, and organized field wiring — Controls integration

Requirements-first engineering

Start with the operating reality.

Environment, communication standards, maintenance access, and operator workflow shape the design from the beginning.

Instead of forcing a fixed package, DPES translates project constraints into a practical electrical and control architecture, including the interfaces needed for compatible third-party equipment.

Project-specific network and communication planning
Control behavior aligned with operator requirements
Architecture adaptable to compatible existing equipment

Integrated electrical control cabinets, operator HMI, pumps, valves, and process instrumentation — Integrated project delivery

Coordinated disciplines

Keep power, controls, and instrumentation connected.

Decisions across switchgear, drives, PLC logic, field devices, and operator stations are treated as one coordinated scope.

That shared view helps resolve interfaces earlier and gives fabrication, installation, programming, and commissioning teams a clearer path from drawings to operation.

Electrical and control interfaces reviewed together
Fabrication aligned with programming requirements
Clearer handoff from engineering to commissioning

Engineer verifying a fabricated industrial control system before field commissioning — Workshop verification

Field-ready delivery

Resolve more before field commissioning.

Where project scope permits, assemblies and control functions are checked before delivery so field work begins from a stronger baseline.

Functional verification, organized panel construction, and clear system interfaces help reduce avoidable uncertainty during installation and startup.

Functional testing at the DPES facility when included
Serviceable panel layout and component access
Clearer transition into field startup

Industrial capabilities

Controls, power, and instrumentation working as one system

DPES advises and assists customers across automation, switchgear, and control solutions designed around their operational requirements. Each solution prioritizes practical operation, cost-effective engineering, efficient delivery, and professional support for specialized projects.

DPES products

Integrated systems for drilling operations

Purpose-built platforms combine controls, visibility, and safety functions while remaining adaptable to the equipment and communication architecture of each project.

Integrated rig control

INFINITE™ Drilling System

Control systems, data logging, cameras, and maintenance tools are brought together into one coordinated platform for operating and supporting the rig.

DePeuter Electrical Solutions developed an integrated drilling control system that gives operators broad visibility and control across the rig.

Highlighted capabilities include:

Access to third-party hardware when required
Fully redundant communication network
Integrated VFD and individual tool-controller access
PLC and Microsoft Windows-based architecture
Maintenance programs and equipment-level logging
Remote drill-site access through supported networks
Configurable units of measurement and languages
Operational and alarm data logging and archiving
Integrated operator-station camera feeds

Coordinated movement protection

ACEMS™ Zone Management System

Zone management and anti-collision functions can operate independently, integrate with the DPES INFINITE™ system, or adapt to compatible existing rig controls.

Zone Management coordinates drill-floor equipment such as pipe rackers, stabbing arms, catwalks, and floorhands to help prevent conflicts with vertical traveling equipment. The Anti-Collision System controls block speed using configured limits and system inputs.
