Engineering Smarter & Safer Equipment for your continuous process

Electronics hardware design

We design the electronics behind smart field devices and controllers, including schematics, component selection, PCB layout and design for low power and harsh environments. Our designs take into account the needs of hazardous-area products, such as intrinsic-safety considerations, EMC performance and thermal management, and support your path to certification.

Embedded firmware & device software

Our embedded teams develop firmware for sensors, transmitters, actuators, analyzers and equipment controllers. Our work covers real-time control, device diagnostics, bootloaders and secure firmware updates. It also covers industrial protocol integration, so your device connects over HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, PROFIBUS, Ethernet-APL, Modbus, OPC UA and more. The result is a device that is intelligent, interoperable and ready for the connected plant. We are pioneers in device integration standards such as FDI Device Package, EDDL, FDT/DTM and GSD files.

Value engineering, obsolescence & localization

Mature product lines need care too. We re-engineer existing products to reduce cost, replace obsolete components and improve reliability, without compromising proven performance. We also adapt products for new regions, covering local standards, alternative suppliers and regional manufacturing requirements. This helps you enter new markets with less risk.

Technical documentation & compliance packs

Oil & gas customers expect complete, accurate documentation. We produce installation and operation manuals, maintenance guides, spare-parts catalogues and illustrated parts lists. We also assemble the technical files and compliance data packs your certification and customer approvals depend on.

PLC, DCS, SCADA & safety system engineering

We develop control applications across the major automation platforms used in oil & gas. Our engineers write and test PLC logic, configure DCS control strategies and build SCADA systems for remote and distributed assets. For safety-critical functions, we engineer safety instrumented system (SIS) logic in line with functional safety principles such as IEC 61511. This includes cause-and-effect implementation, shutdown sequences and interlock logic. We work to your preferred platforms and your customers' specifications.

We have experience and expertise with ABB, Honeywell, Emerson, Yokogawa and Siemens DCS systems.

HMI design & development

We design operator interfaces that make complex equipment simple to run. Our HMI work covers screen design, alarm management, trending and diagnostics displays for local panels and plant-level systems. Where your customers require it, we apply high-performance HMI principles and alarm management practices such as ISA-18.2. This helps operators spot problems early and respond with confidence.

Control panel design & electrical engineering

We design the control panels and electrical systems that bring your automation to life. Our deliverables include electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, I/O lists and cable schedules. Designs take account of hazardous-area requirements, heat dissipation and customer-specific standards, and are ready for fabrication by your shop or your panel-building partner.

Skid & package automation

We automate the packaged equipment that oil & gas facilities depend on, including compression, metering, chemical injection, separation, pumping and heating packages. We define the control philosophy, develop the logic and prepare the integration documentation. The package then connects cleanly to the operator's DCS or SCADA over their preferred protocols, such as Modbus, PROFINET, FOUNDATION Fieldbus or OPC UA.

Control system migration & modernization

Ageing control systems increase downtime risk, spare-parts costs and cybersecurity exposure. We help OEMs and their installed base move from obsolete PLCs, DCS and HMIs to current platforms. Our migration approach covers logic conversion, I/O mapping, testing and cut-over planning. It is designed to preserve proven control behaviour and keep production disruption to a minimum.

FAT/SAT support & commissioning documentation

We help your packages pass inspection the first time. We prepare factory acceptance test (FAT) and site acceptance test (SAT) procedures, simulate control logic before testing and support test execution. We also deliver the documentation operators require for handover, including functional design specifications, loop diagrams, as-built drawings and operating manuals.

Edge device & gateway development

Our work covers hardware selection, embedded Linux and firmware development, containerized edge applications, remote software updates and device management. Using our protocol expertise and OPC UA framework, our gateways connect to equipment over Modbus, HART, PROFINET, OPC UA and other industrial protocols.

Cloud connectivity & IIoT platform integration

We provide cloud-agnostic connectivity to Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS and Google GCP platforms. We also design the data architecture behind it, including device provisioning, data models, storage, APIs and integration with ERP, CMMS and asset management systems.

Process engineering

We define how your package performs within the operator's process. Our engineers develop process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), heat and material balances and equipment sizing calculations. We also support process simulation, control philosophy development and safety studies such as HAZOP, so your package design is robust before detailed engineering begins.

Piping design

We design compact, maintainable piping layouts for skids and packages. Our work includes piping routing, material selection, isometric drawings, bills of materials and support design. Our pipe stress analysis checks for thermal expansion, pressure, weight and external loads, including nozzle loads on connected equipment. Piping is designed to the codes and specifications your project requires, such as ASME B31.3 for process piping.

Tools: AVEVA E3D, Hexagon Smart 3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D

Electrical & instrumentation (E&I) engineering

We engineer the electrical and instrumentation systems of your package and their connection to the plant. Our deliverables include instrument indexes, instrument datasheets, loop diagrams, hook-up drawings, cable schedules, junction box layouts and electrical load lists. We also support hazardous-area classification and equipment selection, so that instruments and electrical equipment are suitable for their installed location.

Tools: AVEVA Instrumentation, EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical

3D modelling & package layout

We create detailed 3D models of your packages, optimized for operation, maintenance access and safety. Clash detection finds interference problems before fabrication. Model reviews help you and your customer agree on the design early. We deliver models in the formats operators and EPC contractors need for integration into their overall plant model, and we support modularization strategies that shift work from site to the fabrication shop.

Tools: SolidWorks
