Engineering
Engineering is the driver of all economic activity. Whether it is agriculture, infrmation technology, manufacturing, medicine, mining, or power systems - they are underpinned by engineered systems.
It follows that whether you are enterpreneur commencing a new activity or an established business seeking to extract more value from your assets, you would need to take a close look at your "engine". We can assist you not only in identifying the trouble spots but also bring about lasting improvements in your plant and processes.
Analysis and Simulation
A good starting point in any process improvement project is to construct a "digital twin" of the plant or process. Essentially, the plant is described by a series of mathematical formulae and having done so, "experiments" are performed in the virtual world to determine the limits of the plant. Proposed changes are likewise digitally overlaid on the model to find out whether improvements will at all result - all this, without commiting a cent of capital.
Plant Engineering
We will help you all the way with the actual implementation of your ideas. Our services include:
- Techno-economic feasibility study
- Scope of work
- Detailed engineering and design
- Bid evaluation
- Awarding of contracts
- Supervision of contract
- Integration of plant with business processes
Automation
Be it safety, quality, reliability, or productivity -they are all vitally dependent on automation systems.
Talk to us about the use of discrete control systems, continuous control systems, distributed systems, etc. With skills in selection, set up and programming of such systems we create robust, fault-tolerant, user friendly systems.
Power to your Plant
Power reticulation is no problem - we look after high, medium and low voltage power distribution and help choose the right kind of drive systems for your plant. Careful selection of motors and associated drive systems results in energy efficient operations.
Systems Engineering
We prefer to look at your plant as a money generating system. The plant comprises a multitude of technological sub-systems that inter-operate and are also part of a larger system that extends beyond your physical boundaries (for example, the power network). As such the plant has to be seen as a system and understanding derived as to its performance under various failure modes. What will happen if power is lost, what will be the affect of a breakdown of a machine, etc? The answers to such questions inform the design of the plant and provide rationale for the type and degree of maintenance that should be carried out. We do not make a priori assumptions. We assess the economic impact and then devise a course of action.
