Project Startup& Functional Design Specification

Able can undertake all of the initial steps to developing a successful Automation Control project.

These include-

  • Managed project control and documentation, using ISO9001 audited procedures
  • Initial contact with the customer, on site if required
  • Initial investigation, including-
    - Site inspection and survey
    - Interview with engineers or operators
    - Review of engineering documentation and drawings
  • Identification of key goals and milestones for the project development
  • Production of User Requirement Specification
  • Customer review meetings
  • Management of customer modification requests
  • Production of Functional Design Specification

This FDS can then be used by the customer, either for internal development, or as part of the tendering process for external integrators.

This helps to ensure-

  • The correct solution for the problem is proposed
  • Realistic time and financial boundaries are set
  • Project milestones are meaningful and measurable

Engineering Time & Consultancy

Able engineers have experience of developing software and hardware solutions in a wide range of industries. This experience allows the engineers to recommend hardware or software solutions, which are then fully documented. These solutions can be subsequently developed, either by us or the customer.

Our engineers can also develop hardware or software solutions on-site, or provide breakdown assistance and backup on a range of hardware products.

Able can supply both technicians and engineers, either on site with the customer or using the meeting rooms at Able Head office as a resource.


Project Development & Management

Able can integrate solutions ranging from small stand alone projects, to larger capital development projects. Our project management system has been developed to allow projects to be developed and monitored in a controlled and structured way. Progress on major projects can be monitored on-line, via the Able website.

This helps to ensure-

  • Projects are development in a structured way
  • Potential problems are identified as quickly as possible
  • Modifications and problems are documented
  • Project progress is available to customer and developers alike
