inoLECT LLC, an innovator in electric power, is proud to celebrate its 20th year of business in 2018. Originally known as LAPTEC (Louisiana Power Technology), inoLECT was founded by President and CEO Brent Evans in 1998. When Evans started the company, he had a passion for seeking out challenging and diverse projects. He quickly established himself as an expert in electrical power system analysis, while also capable of troubleshooting and correcting advanced electrical deficiencies. Since 1998, inoLECT has grown exponentially into a team of leading experts who have a passion for problem-solving -- just like its founder, president and CEO. Evans' extensive knowledge, experience and meticulous attention to detail have nurtured the inoLECT team into a driving force within the industry.
"Our engineers and skilled technicians provide complete, integrated electrical system solutions for clients in the power generation, utility, and industrial and electrical engineering fields," Evans said. "We specialize in power system studies, breaker maintenance, relay retrofits, power system design and more."
inoLECT manufactures the market- leading remote racking device, the inoRACâ¢. This universal, life-saving device can operate all major manufacturers' low-voltage and medium-voltage circuit breakers while allowing the user to stand over 80 feet away. The smart device requires no switchgear modifications and provides protection against breaker and equipment damage.
"Whether it's troubleshooting, emergency repairs or long-term services, inoLECT's service division is never more than a phone call away," Evans said. "You can rely on our experienced team members to perform preventative and predictive maintenance, breaker refurbishment and reconditioning, and switchgear repairs. We take pride in working with our partners to develop reliability plans that increase their profitability by reducing unscheduled outages and costly downtime."
According to Evans, "time flies when you're having fun," and inoLECT is in a very good place today. What makes the company still successful after 20 years is inoLECT takes pride in its customer relationships.
"Our customer retention rate is very high," Evans explained. "We pride ourselves on being seen as a partner and not just a service provider. We want to help our customers make the right decisions, educate them, get them the necessary training they need, etc."
If you ask around, inoLECT's employees also consider Evans and inoLECT Vice Chairman Lonnie Barr two of the most approachable executives around. They don't sit in a high-rise office out of sight and out of touch. These two have a cubicle just like everyone else at the company, with their doors always open, figuratively and literally, to anyone who has a question or needs input. They're also never too busy to help and not scared to get their hands dirty. Evans and Barr will go to the inoLECT shop or on-site to a customer's facility and work on projects themselves -- whether pulling wires in the back of switchgear or reprogramming and commissioning inoLECT's remote racking devices. inoLECT is unique because Evans and Barr are on the front lines with their staff, working as part of the team.
"We wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for our customers and our employees," Evans said. "Thanks to everyone who has played a part in inoLECT's success for the past 20 years. We are looking forward to providing solutions for the electric power industry for the next 20 years!"
