Product development is what drives businesses such as D. G. Controls Ltd forward, and having our own full-time development engineer based at our UK office gives us a reactivity second to none when it comes to developing products to customers’ requirements.
Recognising our position in the aircraft warning sector, orders are now in from our key distributors for the newest in the range, the SBB LED 10 Candela Aircraft Warning beacon. Officially termed the SBB/*/*/LED/Type A/Red, this little beacon meets the ICAO regulations for low level intensity warning of aircraft. Being a 360 degree viewing enclosure, the SBB Type A uses different LEDs from the larger SBE and SBG Type A products, offering a higher light intensity per LED, and meaning that the required brightness levels are met within the much smaller series B enclosure.
Series B is an IP65 rated enclosure, pre-moulded with M10 and M20 cable gland entries. The lens fits with a specially designed O-ring and tightens on a bayonet-style fitting, securing with a tamper screw into a blind hole. Carefully designed to minimise dust and dirt build-up, and fully water-tight, Series B is perfectly suited to the outdoor environment, and with long-life LEDs, makes maintenance a thing of the past.

The deegee team have always been keen to undertake training and new experiences, and Office Manager Lisa Baum leads by example.
A 2 day Change Management course set in a beautiful location in Middle Aston, Oxfordshire took Lisa and 8 other delegates from various backgrounds through a detailed explanation of the change process within an organisation, and the best way to manage these changes.
“Practical outdoor tasks which involved planning, strategic thinking, and crucially communication were great fun and a very useful learning tool. We had no option but to get stuck in, as you can see from the glamorous head-gear!! I feel the overall experience has been very beneficial to me,” said Lisa. “By making me aware of the importance of thorough planning, in addition to maintaining good channels of communication throughout, and taking these into account, future changes will be smoother and more structured transitions.”
Closing with an open forum session which allowed all delegates to discuss issues or incidents that they have experienced within their organisation during the change process, the course remained thoroughly relevant to the real-life situations of the attendees.
After enjoying an extended shutdown over the Christmas period with family and friends, the deegee team is now fully back into the business of 2011, and looking forward to continuing to be one of your best suppliers throughout the year.
Wishing you every business success for 2011.
After a highly successful re-introduction to the SPS Drives show in 2009, and with the new German deegee distributor Riese Electronic doing a great job in raising the awareness of the deegee brand in the German market, the only response was to “take our stand” again at SPS/IPC Drives in Nuremberg.
Just a 3-day show, running between 23rd and 25th November 2010, SPS Drives is an excellent showcase for all things industrial. Focussing on the stacking beacons, warehousing warning systems, the sounder beacon range, and the new Series-C family of beacons, a wide-range of warning solutions were demonstrated on the deegee stand.
“With a high standard of visitors, and excellent support from Riese, SPS Drives in 2010 could be considered a great success,” said Jon Whiten, Managing Director of D. G. Controls Ltd. Plans are already in-hand to attend the show again in November 2011.
In addition deegee will be exhibiting at the Hannover Messe 4th to 8th April 2011, at the new signalling location of Hall 17, stand location A08.
Following a thorough DQS:UL audit today at our Swadlincote, UK facility, D.G. Controls Ltd are delighted to announce that the Company has transitioned successfully to meeting the new ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System (QMS) Certification.
D.G. Controls Ltd has been ISO certified for over 16 years, originally compliant with the BS5750 QMS, which subsequently became ISO 9000:1994 and then ISO 9001:2000, which had been released in 2000.
ISO 9001:2008 is highly respected around the world as the most wide-reaching and influential set of standards of quality management systems and practices, and clarifies the existing requirements of the previous standard, ISO 9001:2000.
Wendy Whiten, Operations Director stated that “The Quality Management System is integrated into all activities which take place at D.G. Controls Ltd, and as such forms an essential indicator of business success and achievement for the organisation. Achievement of ISO 9001:2008 is testament to the Company’s investment and commitment to improved customer satisfaction, staff motivation and training, and continuous business improvement. I am so pleased for the Company’s employees that this certification has been awarded, as every individual knows their contribution to its success.”
The new Certificate will be issued by UL over the next few weeks, and be available for download on our website as soon as it is received.
