Services
Making the transition to 4.0 a success
Consultation

Our consultation service is designed to be high-level. It may involve reviewing a basic concept or a solution approach. Some consultations may involve drafting or defining a specific mandate. Or it may simply involve validating certain technological choices. As a general rule, this service boils down to a bank of hours for a consultation or expert opinion.

Consultation services:

  • Consultation session for high-level discussion of project orientations
  • Technical advice on various files
  • Concept reviews
  • Definition of mandate or objectives
  • Validation of technological choices
Feasibility study

Feasibility study

The feasibility study validates the high-level possibility of realizing an idea. Overall, this study will define a number of potential concepts, providing a review of available technologies and an order-of-magnitude (OM) or FEL 1 estimate. Finally, everything will come together in a detailed presentation report.

Services included:

  • Analysis of potential solutions
  • election and management of suppliers and technologies
  • Order of magnitude (OM) or FEL 1 estimation
  • Report writing
  • Simplified or final pre-project study

Simplified or definitive pre-project study

The pre-project study is of crucial importance in the process. During this study, all stakeholders must be consulted in order to define final needs and expectations in detail. This enables the various technical solutions to be designed and validated. Depending on whether the project is a simplified or a definitive preliminary design, a FEL 2 or 3 estimate will be included. In this way, it will be possible to undertake the necessary budget acceptance procedures to complete the project(s).

Services included:

  • Definition of requirements and discussions with users
  • Evaluation of available solutions
  • Testing and validation or proof of concept (POC)
  • FEL 2 or 3 estimate
  • Report writing
Project estimate (Capex)

A detailed Capex estimate is generally the last step before the project is actually carried out. It enables us to make a very precise estimate (+/- 10%) of the project's total costs. For the latter, it is necessary to have demonstrated the full feasibility of the project, including proofs of concept where applicable. This service can be offered on its own or as part of the preliminary project, as well as through project management outsourcing services.

Services included:

  • Detailed estimates (FEL 3 or Class A, B)
  • Testing and validation (POC)
  • Detailed report writing
Project management

We offer a wide range of project management services. All the management activities required for an automation project are available. This service includes the outsourcing of project management resources. All activities included in the various project services are offered on a piecework basis. This means that certain activities only for a preliminary project or for an estimate, for example, can be carried out by our collaborators.

Services included:

  • Outsourced project management
  • Remote summary follow-up
  • Review of technology choices
  • Supervision of technology suppliers
  • Review or acceptance of deliverables
  • Etc.
Comparative analysis

A comparative analysis may be required when several technologies can meet the needs of the project. This analysis must be very exhaustive and adapted to the needs of the project. A weighted table is generally used as a reference grid to assess the various aspects that need to be covered to meet the project's requirements.

Services included:

  • Specific review of users’ needs and expectations
  • Meeting, follow-up and discussion with manufacturers
  • Detailed comparative table of solutions
  • Detailed report writing
Design and implementation

Design and implementation services refer to project implementation activities. Our experts can help you with the detailed design of hardware, software and networking. We can support you in all activities requiring high-level expertise.

Services included:

  • Detailed design (hardware and software)
  • Definition of implementation approach
  • Writing functional descriptions
  • Supervision of the programming teams
  • Installation supervision
  • Commissioning assistance
