Systems Design
As an industrial engineering firm, we manage a structured process to achieve desired customer outcomes consistently. Our planning process is designed to fulfill your business and operational requirements and prevent post-installation issues. Our key difference is that we hold ourselves accountable and responsible to deliver systems performance based on our recommendations.
Our equipment agnostic approach offers unbiased equipment recommendations. We make no preordained conclusions about what equipment will be used in any solution until systems requirements and systems architecture are clearly defined.
We provide complimentary rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost proposals to help clients assess initial technical and financial feasibility of ASRS in their operations.
Process Deliverables
We follow an iterative consultative process to develop systems requirements to produce a detailed design concept that can be scrutinized, firmly priced and validated, without major capital investment. Key Process Deliverables include:
- Functional Requirements Document (FRD): a plain English description of business requirements. It defines sequence of operations, equipment and software/hardware into a clear document that describes the new automated system.
- Systems Design Specification (SDS) translates FRD output into an ASRS and /or material handling design that is detailed and clearly quantifiable.
- Systems Performance Analysis (SPA) is a document reflecting output of the model and system emulation that clearly identifies the system performance, as developed in the SDS, and validates or points out any need to modify the design. This document forces any changes in design upfront, to determine final price and delivery at a 98% success rate, without having to build the design first.
