The Way to minimize risk and assure success
Somit Automation has embraced a standard workflow to
manage a project that’s just one example of our commitment
to excellence.
Project workflow is a process by which everyone involved
in an automation project can perform to clearly defined
expectations, completing the project on time and within
budget.
Stage One
Client and our Project Team define expectations and
come to an understanding of the financial motives and
justification for the project. Often during this stage,
we use simulation techniques that give customers a realistic
glimpse at how the system might perform.
Simulation is a tool for proving concepts and defining
expectations long before a major investment of resources
is made.
Stage Two
In the second stage, our project team develops a functional
description of the system, which results in a scope
of work. This migrates into a detailed description and
acceptance test plan and procedure.
During this planning process, our engineers and client
freely exchange ideas and information, committing the
scope of the project to paper. No hardware is ordered
nor is any code written.
This stage also involves the actual development and
implementation of the project. Software is written,
hardware schemes developed, and actual hardware and
software products are integrated. The resulting system
is tested to the specifications agreed upon earlier
in the project.
Stage Three
The final stage of this project methodology begins
with the factory acceptance test, where the complete
system hardware and software is demonstrated.
We provide emulation techniques to prove system performance.
Modifications to make at this point are much easier
than reorienting and rearranging hardware on the plant.
Emulation provides yet another opportunity to fine tune
the system before it is shipped to the client’s facility.
During this stage, start-up and commissioning are supervised
by the project team and also provides comprehensive
training for operators and complete documentation.
