Design & Engineering

Applied Integration provides multi-discipline design and engineering for complex automation, control and safety systems. We turn ideas and requirements into engineered solutions that are safe, maintainable and ready to build – whether for a new facility, a major upgrade or a mission-critical environment.

Overview

Our Design & Engineering team bridges the gap between your operational needs and build-ready technical solutions.
 We combine EC&I, control, safety and OT network expertise to:

  • De-risk projects early through clear, standards-based design
  • Optimise for build, installation, commissioning and ongoing support
  • Ensure safety, cybersecurity and compliance are built in from day one

Whether we are supporting your in-house engineering team or delivering a complete turnkey solution, our designs create a solid foundation for reliable, future-ready automation.

What We Do

Concept & Front-End Design

High-level architectures, block diagrams and load schedules; outline layouts for MCCs, panels and networks.

EC&I Detailed Design

Cable schedules, termination diagrams, loop diagrams, I/O lists, interlock schedules, equipment specifications and bills of materials.

Control system & SCADA design

PLC/SCADA architectures, control philosophies, functional design specifications (FDS), HMI/SCADA screen designs and alarm philosophies.

Functional safety & compliance

Safety requirements, SIL assignment, safety functions, cause & effect matrices and safety-related system design in line with relevant standards.

Industrial networks & cybersecurity by design

OT network topologies, VLAN and firewall strategies, segregation of safety, business and control networks, secure remote access.

Design for manufacture, install & support (DfM/I/S)

Designs optimised for panel build, site installation, testing and long-term maintenance, with clear documentation for future change.

Typical Applications

Our Design & Engineering services support:

New production lines, test rigs and R&D facilities

Upgrades and migrations of legacy PLC/SCADA systems

Smart factory and data-driven modernisation projects

Safety upgrades and compliance programmes

Robotics, AMR/AGV and conveyor systems

Utilities, energy and process plant control systems

Defence and other high-hazard / mission-critical environments

Our Process

Requirements Capture & Management

Engage stakeholders, capture requirements, constraints and interfaces; review existing assets and standards.

Define the Solution

Develop concepts, architectures and technology choices; agree control philosophies and safety approach.

Engineer the detail

Produce full EC&I and control system design packs ready for procurement and manufacture, with traceability back to requirements.

Verify & integrate

Design reviews, calculations and checks; support FAT, SAT and commissioning to prove the design in operation.

Handover & through-life support

As-built documentation, training and ongoing engineering support for modifications and future expansion.
