Automation

High quality automation products and services need to meet exacting standards. The process plant and the software must be designed to work seamlessly together, the supplier must meet all necessary regulations and the result must satisfy all the client´s needs.

Basic Engineering

Before starting a project we need to perform ´basic engineering´. This involves creating the principal layout and all necessary calculations to give the plant the required shape and function. We then generate the User Requirement Specification (URS) and, from that, produce the automation concepts: the basic specifications for hardware and software as well as the documentary requirements needed for FDA, GAMP and ATEX approval. At this stage the client knows not only what to measure and control but also why and where and how it is going to be visualized and documented. The plan for the detail engineering can then be completed.  

Finally, we producte a schedule and a cost-estimation to provide an overview for the ongoing project management.

Detail Engineering

After completion of the basic engineering, a detailed layout of the automation system is required. We do the planning of the detailed functional specification (FS), the hardware design specifications (HDS) for each part as well as for, the installations plans, parts lists and wiring diagrams. We also design the layout of the I/O diagrams, parameter lists and control panels according to specific needs.

Since an automation system is incomplete without software, the Software Design Specification (SDS), the PLC software, the visualization, the batch software and the SQL data bank are tailored by our experienced staff to meet specific requirements.

If necessary, as an additional safeguard, we can do a risk-based analysis of the complete process.

Our automation systems conform to 21 CFR Part 11.
