A project undertaken in 2009 perfectly illustrates IPS’ approach and comprehensive service capability. In February of that year, Eskom approached IPS to supply and install 13 consoles in the 
Camden Power Station main control room. As part of the refurbishment of the entire control room, new control consoles were required to replace the old units in order to offer an improved ergonomic design and to present a modern, world-class solution.
Camden Power Station’s brief was to design, manufacture and supply the consoles in one month, which IPS undertook and successfully completed. The challenging timeframe required intense project management to co-ordinate the roles of design and manufacturing, whilst maintaining a cost-effective, time efficient solution.
The consoles are based on Ilitha’s premium ICON range, which has been successfully utilised in industry for over 15 years. All of Ilitha’s console ranges are designed around the operator and conform to ISO 11064 ergonomic standards.
This project highlights IPS’ commitment to technical and business excellence, which is one reason its high profile clients return for its services time and again. As well as this dedication to providing the best service to clients, IPS also maintains a contribution towards building South Africa’s young democracy. To this end, IPS is BBBEE-compliant – Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) is a form of economic empowerment initiated by the South African government.

The Ilitha Group as a whole is committed to achieving the South African national demographic employment profile goals, through the development and empowerment of previously disadvantaged South Africans.
