Services – Italia Automazione

CONSULTANCY

We support our customers in the design of automation systems (ISA S95 levels 1, 2 and 3) from the feasibility study to the start-up and validation.

Automation systems (PLC, DCS, ESD, BMS, APC): process analysis, user requirements specification (URS), Functional Specifications (FDS), logic and interlock diagrams, system architecture definition, hardware specifications (HDS) , software specification(SDS), Cabinet Specifications, input/output list, defining the physical model and procedural model according to ISA S88.

Low current systems: System specifications, smoke and gas detection systems, off gas systems, access control, intrusion prevention, CCTV, clocks, IT infrastructure specification and architectures and topologies definition.

Purchasing and Procurement: material requisitions, subcontract requisitions, technical alignment and technical-economic evaluation of the tenders, verification of supplier documentation.

Construction and commissioning: supervision during construction, participation and / or coordination of factory acceptance test (FAT) and site acceptance test (SAT), assistance to plant start-up.

INDUSTRY 4.0

We are pioneers in the integration of ‘Nebbiolo Technologies’ Fog computing systems that realize the convergence between Information Technologies and Operation Technologies in a safe and secure environment like the Fog one.

We started training courses on Data Analytics and Machine Learning to offer services for the management and interpretation of large amounts of data (Big Data) with the aim of optimizing the process and aligning plant / line performance with the strategic objectives of our Customers.

We are working with an important multinational in the Consumer field to implement a PLM system (Product Lifecycle Management): one of the enabling technologies in Digital Transformation initiatives that represents the totality of business solutions necessary for managing the entire life cycle of a product.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Implementation of PLC + HMI and PLC + SCADA control systems (Siemens Simatic Step7, WinCC Flexible, TIA Portal – Rockwell Controllogix, FT View, FT Batch) for skid and/or machine automation.

Implementation of DCS configurations within automation projects in the area of chemical-pharmaceutical plants (Emerson DeltaV) and petrochemical (Honeywell EPKS).

Drive configurations (Control Techniques) in the context of automation projects of cable production lines.

Configurations of electronic recorders (Eurotherm) in projects requiring critical variables monitoring using electronic records.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

From the definition phase to the execution and implementation, we coordinate and manage projects in the field of both strictly automation and more generally industrial projects.

We support the customer in the preliminary phases of the projects, in the feasibility studies, in the evaluation of the possible solutions through business cases and in the definition of strategic roadmaps for automation.

We propose our project management methodology and, if requested, we adapt to the consolidated methodologies of our customers, such as Fpx (Flowless Project Execution) or Agile project management.

VALIDATION

Compliance checks (Assessment) of the systems compared to GxP and management records and electronic signatures (FDA CFR21 part11, EU Annex 11) in accordance with GAMP and PIC / S 011.

Issue of the user requirements (URS) and validation plan (VP) according to GAMP guidelines.

Audits (Supplier Audit) of the suppliers of computer systems and services.

Risk Analysis

Verification of compliance of vendor documentation (FDS, HDS, SDS) to GAMP guidelines.

Issue and execution of Installations qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ) protocols according to GAMP guidelines.

Preparation of the final validation report with identification of corrective action.

Issue of the operational procedures for the keeping of the validation state (access management, backup and restore of data and programs, disaster).

ASSISTANCE

Execution of technical assistance on existing automation and control systems for ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, software and data backup, disaster recovery, support for troubleshooting, configuration changes.

Service Level Agreement (SLA) with a minimum number of days guaranteed, intervention in certain times and assistance on call with first level of assistance through telephone contact, second level of assistance via remote connection, third level of assistance with exit in plant.
