U.S. Translation Company is proud to highlight a client that is doing important work. Based in Salt Lake City, Reliable Controls Corporation optimizes resource extraction processes. Mining, as we all know, has a terrible impact on the environment. At the same time, civilization depends on metals and minerals from underground. Reliable Controls enters the equation where industrial and ecological concerns intersect: since mining must go on, at least it can do so with the smallest possible environmental footprint.
Mining is messy
Mining has come a long way. Remote controlled equipment, satellite communications, and robotics have replaced the pick and shovel. Given these technological advancements, however, retrieving subsurface resources is inherently disruptive and ecologically costly. Some types of mining tear gaping holes in the earth. Most mines use vast quantities of water. Many minerals necessitate toxic chemicals as part of the extraction process. All of these activities consume huge amounts of energy.
What Reliable Controls does
The company assists its clients in three broad areas: automation, commissioning, and optimization.
Automation
Reliable Controls helps mines, plants and other facilities implement the best technological solutions. These could be specified for safety reasons — remote monitoring in hazardous environments; robotic or remote controlled equipment or tools in situations too dangerous for humans — or for efficiency. Either way, Reliable Controls specifies an implementation plan that reduces the hazard, liability, or cost of its clients.
Commissioning
The commissioning process, in essence, involves Reliable Controls Corporation checking and validating a new mining or plant operation. Before a new facility becomes operational, each system must be tested by a third party. Each constituent mining process, each plant control, is required to meet specific performance criterion. Reliable Controls ensures that they do so.
Optimization
The third leg of the Reliable Controls triad, optimization, consists of the retrofitting of existing facilities. For example, perhaps a given mining operation can reduce its power usage, or its water consumption, by 10%. Such a savings, in addition to enhancing profitability, would result in a sizeable reduction of the mine’s ecological footprint.
Finding a balance
Reliable Controls Corporation’s guiding philosophy balances the dialectic between conservation and industry. Or attempts to do so. At its core, the company recognizes mining and extraction as necessary to our modern world. It also recognizes the need to mitigate the harmful effects of mining activities. In the crux of these two competing imperatives, Reliable Controls uses sophisticated solutions to help its industrial clients carry on in the cleanest, greenest manner possible.

Content that can be suitable for MTPE includes technical manuals, instructions, FAQs, and other product material. Some content is better suited for professional human translation like marketing and sales materials, advertising, and any material where idioms or nuances are important.
Machine Translation
U.S. Translation Company clients typically use raw, unedited machine output for internal use only. From gisting, they can get well, the gist of a text. While gisting does not produce a document of publishable quality, it does communicate the primary message. This works well for some internal communications, databases, and the like.
Gisting can also allow a U.S. Translation Company client to assess whether they want to have the document fully professionally translated. Clients typically do this with requests for proposals (RFPs), tender requests, and similar content. By using raw machine translation services in such cases, clients can save up to 90% of what full human translation and desktop publishing would have cost them. In addition, raw machine translation is fast—so fast that clients often experience a same-day turnaround.
Translation Editing & Proofreading

Whether you’d like to review an internal translation of a co-worker or even review translations from another vendor, U.S. Translation can help. Our professional reviewers have years of experience in your industry and can ensure you get the results you are looking for.
Professional Human Translation
Language translation technologies are improving, yet professional human translation still provides the best quality. Human translation includes the ability to translate the meaning of a sentence, rather than just the words. And more importantly, it allows for the comprehension of idioms and other nuances that cannot be detected.
U.S. Translation Company has 2000+ professional translators who have been tested and certified to produce the best translation quality possible. Typically when people think of translation this is the quality level they expect so their message can resound with their target audience.
