Consulting
Consulting
- In-depth technical reports and proposal of possible solutions
- Feasibility studies
- Determination of external influences
- Various consulting services
- Author supervision during project execution
We execute our own calculations for the design of instrumentation and special measurements (as analytics or sampling systems) by means of using state-of-the-art engineering tools such as CONVAL (for control valves, orifice plates, flow measurements) and exSilentatia (functional safety).
For design documentation processing, we apply our own standard solutions implemented in the eBase Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tool. We also have experience with the use of other CAE tools, such as RUPLAN, COMOS and ELCAD.
Design documentation is provided to the customer both in printed and electronic format (standard procedure is to provide the design documentation in electronic format, by way of PDF files stored on a data storage device).
SW Engineering
We provide complete software solutions, from the design and development of control systems to their integration, testing, and operational support, independent of specific automation component manufacturers.
