Deeper insights. Better decisions. Streamlined delivery.

Independent Assessment

We assess everything, from functional safety, cyber security, and alarm management to process control, system operability, and lifecycle status (hardware and software). We do this with complete independence from original equipment manufacturers or system vendors, offering impartial advice that avoids unnecessary modifications and that solves the right problems.

Our subject matter experts bring decades of field experience across brownfield and late-life assets. Using our proprietary tools, we accelerate issue identification, root cause analysis, and mitigation design. We offer rapid feedback, identify common themes, and propose solutions that balance performance, compliance, and cost.

We tailor the assessment scope and level of detail to suit the requirement, ranging from high-level risk screening to detailed, prioritised mitigation planning with cost estimation. Our data-driven approach supports better decisions and provides a solid foundation for future investment strategies.

Targeted Risk Management

We review whether critical protection systems are still achieving their intended level of risk reduction. This includes validating whether current safeguards and countermeasures remain effective, appropriate, and aligned with changing operational conditions or threat profiles.

Crucially, we do this efficiently. Using a streamlined, evidence-led approach, we confirm whether risks remain tolerable, whether assumptions made during design are still valid, and whether compliance issues exist that could impact safety, security, or integrity. Where gaps are identified, we provide pragmatic, proportionate recommendations, helping you close actions without introducing unnecessary cost or complexity.

Performance Quick Wins

Our assessments target the often-overlooked factors that quietly erode production efficiency and operator effectiveness. Alarm system overload, poorly tuned control loops, inconsistent override management, and missing or outdated operating procedures all contribute to increased operator burden and reduced plant stability. We identify the root causes of these issues quickly, whether they stem from system configuration, process changes, or design legacy.

We identify and implement quick wins as well as long-term improvements: rationalising nuisance alarms, tuning critical loops, flagging underperforming equipment, and assessing operator workload and interface usability. By streamlining operator interactions and stabilising process behaviour, we help restore confidence in the control room, unlock latent performance, and increase uptime, without requiring major rework or capital spend.

Evergreen Specifications

We model application requirements end-to-end, from input conditions and logic to expected outputs, based directly from key specifications. For Safety Instrument Systems, this includes trip conditions, overrides, timers, voting logic, and more, drawn from the SRS, C&E charts, and safeguarding narratives. For process control applications, it includes control narratives, control schemes, and sequence documents. These specifications are translated into a structured model that drives automatic test case generation, ensuring that every intended behaviour is explicitly defined and traceable.

These test cases are then executed in a virtual environment using a backup of the installed application software. By converting the code into an open, standardised format, we simulate real-world scenarios and verify system behaviour without needing to manually test in the factory or on site.

With automated validation in place, specifications are no longer static documents, they become dynamic, testable references that stay aligned with the application throughout its lifecycle and remain evergreen.

Delivery Assurance

Auto testing transforms the way testing is approached in both greenfield and brownfield environments, delivering not just speed, but confidence. By validating application logic early and automatically, we compress the testing window, reduce dependency on physical hardware, and dramatically cut time spent in the factory. Late-stage changes no longer mean schedule risk or excessive manual rework by executed regression testing automatically.

Beyond speed and cost, auto testing improves quality. It achieves far greater test coverage than manual methods, including edge cases, failure modes, and complex logic paths. This reduces the number of defects passed into commissioning and minimises troubleshooting effort at site. The result is tighter delivery, fewer surprises, and systems that are proven and ready to run.

Smarter Proof Testing

Our approach transforms SIF proof testing into a more efficient, lower-risk process. By adopting a partial test methodology, we isolate each subsystem, testing inputs and outputs individually onsite while shifting the logic solver testing offsite into a virtual environment. This eliminates the need for intrusive, full-loop testing during operations, reducing spurious trip risk and avoiding complex overrides.

Combined with automated test generation and execution, the savings compound. Test coverage increases, while effort, downtime, and cost decrease. We integrate this testing strategy into broader functional safety assurance routines, allowing operators to take credit for overlapping tests. It's a practical, standards-aligned approach that improves reliability, supports SIL compliance, and keeps maintenance lean without compromising on integrity.

Decision Based Design

Our platform is built around a new approach: decision-based design. Instead of focusing on drawings and deliverables, we focus on the decisions that shape them, capturing intent, reducing uncertainty, and allowing AI to generate the outputs. Every engineering decision is recorded, structured, and traceable. This reduces waste, simplifies assurance, and speeds up delivery across the lifecycle.

SMEs remain firmly in control, but they're now supported by powerful tools that recommend, validate, and optimise. This ensures engineering effort is spent only where it adds value, resolving ambiguity, balancing trade-offs, and responding to change.

Whether we're designing a new control system or resolving an operability issue offshore, the AI platform becomes a co-pilot, guiding, verifying, and accelerating our SMEs while keeping the outcome in focus.

Engineering Reasoning

The core of our platform is a proprietary expert system, built by engineers, for engineers. It captures engineering rules, standards, design patterns, and lessons learned across all industrial automation disciplines from functional safety through process control and commissioning. When combined with powerful off-the-shelf large language model, it becomes a reasoning engine that supports everything from optimisation strategies to automated deliverable generation.

The breakthrough comes when we link this reasoning engine with asset-specific knowledge: documentation, configurations, logs, and system data. This enables the platform to provide targeted insights and recommendations that are not just technically correct, but contextually relevant.

From Advisory to Ownership

We're evolving how engineering services are delivered. Through our AI platform, we can take full ownership of your industrial automation systems, delivering engineering, managing vendors, supporting operations, and driving performance across the asset lifecycle.

This end-to-end service model simplifies stakeholder engagement, accelerates delivery, and provides a single point of accountability for everything from minor modifications to long-term asset strategy.

As the platform evolves, so does the service model, with a long-term goal of enabling fixed-price, fixed-scope engineering that delivers improved outcomes at reduced cost.
