Reliable automation from concept to commissioning
Keep your industrial automation project on track with the help of our experienced technical leads.
Minimize delays with the right tech lead expertise
Any manufacturer with automation experience knows that the pitfalls are plenty – from insufficient specifications of requirements and inadequate monitoring of suppliers to faulty documentation and validation – and they cause costly delays.
But they are easily avoided with the right expertise.
By bringing in our experienced automation architects as tech leads, you can steer clear of the common pitfalls and increase your chances of finishing your automation project within the timeframe.
We can step in at any stage in the automation process, but the sooner you bring us in, the more you reduce the risk of delays.
Technical project management for regulated industries
Our automation architects have extensive experience from highly regulated industries such as the pharmaceutical and the food and beverage industries. This has given us a thorough understanding of the compliance risks involved in automation projects and can accurately identify the situations in which we need to call in compliance and validation experts.
Our technical lead service is relevant when:
You are automating production lines in a regulated industry
Your automation project or upgrades demand specialized knowledge and experience
Your project requires knowledge of the latest technologies and compliance standards
Your in-house team is fully occupied with day-to-day operations and maintenance tasks
There is a tight deadline for project completion and rapid deployment is critical
You need fresh ideas and perspectives to solve persistent automation challenges
Technical project management services
As tech leads, we bring your automation project from concept to commissioning with a minimum of delays and interruptions to production.
Our technical project management services include:
Specification of requirements
We prepare a thorough specification of requirements, considering all relevant stakeholders as well as the standards and regulations in your industry. This ensures that you buy the right solution from the start and won’t have to make last-minute alterations to the system or functionality specifications, delaying delivery.
Dialogue with OEMs and service suppliers
With 15 years of experience in automation from the OEM as well as the manufacturing side of the table, we know which questions to ask the automation suppliers to verify that they understand and adhere to your specifications. We monitor their progress regularly to prevent any issues from escalating.
Document reviews
We provide input for and review critical documents such as interface agreements (IFA), IT risk assessments (ITRA), user requirement specifications (URS), engineering specifications (ES), system documentation such as electrical diagrams, network architecture, etc., and design documentation such as software design specifications (SDS), hardware design specifications (HDS), functional design specifications (FDS), etc.
System integration on site
We oversee the integrations of IT and OT systems on site, applying our technical and practical expertise in programming industrial systems to address the challenges of integrating older and newer technologies.
