Unleashing Potential
Implement System Improvements
Whether you are upgrading an existing control system or embarking on the creation of a new system, the design and implementation of a control system is a complex undertaking that can seem overwhelming to tackle. Your control system is the backbone of your industrial operation, regulating, monitoring, and controlling a myriad of complex processes, helping your organization maintain consistency and quality while minimizing risks. It can be daunting to contemplate updating your current control system or migrating to an entirely new system. You might worry about meeting production goals, or ensuring safety standards while your control system is being updated or completed. This is why you need a partner who can help you streamline the process of building or updating your control system, while at the same time allowing you to maintain the standards of safety and production to meet your customers’ needs and expectations.

Plan
The planning phase is the foundation upon which your control system is built. It involves defining project objectives, identifying system requirements, and establishing a clear roadmap for development. During this phase, careful consideration is given to:
Objectives: Clearly identifying the propose and goals of your control system
Requirements: Identifying the technical, operational, and safety requirements.
Scope: Determining the extent of your control system’s coverage.
Budget: Allocating resources for development and implementation.
Working together, this initial planning phase is where your input and vision takes precedent, ensuring that we are taking your project in the right direction.
Prepare
Once the plan is in place, the preparation phase begins. This stage focuses on gathering the necessary resources and knowledge to execute the plan effectively. Key aspects of preparation include:
Data and Recommendations: Leveraging the data and insights from previous assessments like LAUNCHPOINT or AUDITIQ.
Skills and Expertise: Ensuring the project team possesses the required skills and industry expertise.
Technology: Selecting appropriate hardware and software components.
Risk Assessment: Identifying and mitigating potential risks and challenges, including cyber security risks.
Your insights combined with our knowledge and expertise are critical towards ensuring a successful implementation.
Produce
The production phase is where your control system takes shape. This phase involves actual development, installation, and testing. Key activities during production include:
System Design: Creating a detailed design that aligns with the defined requirements.
Build: Assembling and configuring hardware and software components.
Testing: rigorous testing to ensure functionality, safety, and reliability.
Integration: Integrating your control system with existing processes and infrastructure.
Training: Providing training to personnel for system operation and maintenance.
