Automation Controls

Our Approach

Given the full spectrum of requirements, Systems Interface takes an engineered approach to organizing the requirements, project scope and proposal in a tailored manner to meet your objectives:

Specifications:

All projects should begin with clearly documented requirements whether requiring discovery or customer specification. Requirements should be anchored in the business and performance objectives of the new or upgraded system and should address aspects of functionality, usability, reliability and supportability.

Preliminary Engineering:

This critical stage in project delivery requires experience. Systems Interface has delivered countless projects across disciplines, applications and industries to draw expertise from. Additionally, we have vast experience with sensor, actuator, motor and servo technologies. We take a collaborative approach to deriving the most effective solution to meet the project objectives and requirements.

Build:

Through project tailoring, we can work on an inter-company team or serve as a prime contractor. Our project managers are skilled at managing subcontract relationships across multiple disciplines.

We have a full service UL-508A/698A panel fabrication shop to support design/build or build projects.

Clear Project Scope:

A clear project scope should be well documented and reflective of the project requirements and specifications. It should be detailed enough to provide an unambiguous roadmap for the automation engineering responsible for designing and implementing the solution as well as to be the vehicle for aligning the project outcomes with the receiving organization.

Detailed Engineering:

The devil is in the details. Our workflow, attention to detail, and quality control process help ensure that details aren't missed during this stage. Depending on customer requirements and project complexity, a design review process is tailored to ensure quality and accuracy. We have Washington State-licensed professional electrical engineers on staff and can integrate fundamentals of electrical design including arc flash assessments and designs to specified SCCR ratings.

Testing & Acceptance:

System testing is critically important to ensure good outcomes and to manage risk. Through project tailoring, an overall test and acceptance strategy is developed. Typical test strategies employed might include:

Factory Acceptance Tests
System/Software Stimulation Testing
Onsite Testing and Acceptance

Control Engineering Disciplines:

Discrete, Batch, and Continuous Process Control

SCADA

MES/ERP Integration

Data Reporting

Network and Cybersecure Design
