Design and Specification

An automation or software development project specification is a complex undertaking. At IAS we feel it is crucial to unite the contributions from our experienced professionals with input from your internal team. The possible combinations of hardware and software platform offerings are overwhelming, and navigating the wide array of automation choices is a difficult endeavor to burden without professional assistance.  To further specify a system’s characteristics takes an experienced group that can draw from a diverse knowledgebase compiled from experience in multiple industries and project types. 

At IAS we offer Design and Specification consultation in the following areas:

• Hardware – what choice of controller, motion, and fieldbus platforms best suites your needs both now and in the future?
• Software – what criteria as most important in selecting a standard package or developing a custom application using the .NET family of technologies or Java based platforms?
• Specifications – We’ll help develop your operational specifications and document the system characteristics to give you a better foundation from which to solicit proposals.

Additionally we offer to review proposals alongside your professional staff to help sift through all potential options and help you make the best choice for your automation programs.  Contact IAS to learn more about our Consulting Services and the benefit gained from working with experienced professionals.
