Process
Our project managers and engineers work with your experts to ensure a control system that is a perfect fit for your manufacturing needs.
Step One
Process Mapping
Process Mapping identifies opportunities for the customer to reduce key cost structures such as materials, energy, human resources, and maintenance. Mapping results are summarized in a Gap Analysis detailing instrumentation, control strategy changes, control systems, and other factors that would be transformative to the customer to improve process quality and profitability.
Step Two
Project Design
Creation of a Functional Design Specification (FDS) defines all project requirements and scope. The document will include control system hardware & structure, system functions, software configuration, and other important design features.
Step Three
Engineering
Network design, hardware engineering, software engineering, and system assembly are all part of project execution. ACSI engineers are assigned to follow the project from concept to commissioning.
Step Four
Testing & Simulation
Our Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) includes a complete simulation of all system functions allowing the customer to run the entire process “virtually.” Simulation guarantees customer expectations are met and a successful startup.
Step Five
Implementation and Results
Installation, I/O checkout, training, and field acceptance are all part of our implementation process. Metrics identified in process mapping are compared to end results to ensure the project meets expectations.
Step Six
Support
ACSI’s 24 hour support allows for immediate access to customer service. Establishing a VPN provides assistance securely and directly from our offices.
