Need Design Help to Build a System?

Usually when you need help with design, you already have half a clue about the requirements, at the very least a good concept and a sense of the outcome you're after. Step one of design is reviewing or developing the requirements, that's where we start. Maybe you need someone to complement your team, or a team to deliver a turnkey outcome. We can shape the project, define it, and deliver it, or work inside your predefined requirements, standards, and guidelines.

“Parasyn projects are delivered well due to a strict adherence to their own internal standards which ensure long term support is facilitated, ensuring client's needs are documented and agreed prior to the delivery phase.”

“Dealing with Parasyn is always such a breeze and no hassle.”

For Critical Infrastructure solutions, these systems engineering management plans are common practice: project management, design management, safety in design, human factors engineering, change management, configuration management, and installation and transition management.

These plans may not be necessary for screwing a wire into a terminal, of course, but they're always necessary for refineries, nuclear, transport, and other safety-related applications. There's a real in-between void too: systems engineering gets genuinely challenging for engineers and project managers when the scope is moderate, the system isn't as critical as those examples, or engineers are working alone. Team structure and how technology gets applied shouldn't be an influencing factor for success, but in practice, it is.

A systems engineering approach isn't reserved for large systems or big budgets. A systems engineering “system of documents” can scale to any sized design if it's been built for scalability from the start, you shouldn't need to redevelop every plan just because Safety in Design isn't required this time. Most organisations in industrial automation don't have a systems engineering approach to delivery at all, relying instead on whatever exists or whatever the customer specifies to guide outcomes. The risk: a vendor or supplier unfamiliar with the management practice an organisation actually needs, focused on the technology rather than transitioning, risk mitigation, configuration management, and especially the people factor, all of which get left out in the cold.

“Parasyn are easy to contact and understood our needs, also I like the way Parasyn develop an idea which requires little input by me but returns the result I require.”

“Parasyn is fantastic and a pleasure to work with and there is nothing I would suggest changing.”

If you're unsure on the most appropriate approach, still working out risk, implementation strategy, or transition challenges, we're happy to share our thoughts on how to proceed. We're equally confident starting from raw ideas or going straight to systems engineering planning and detailed design. If this resonates, we'll be a sounding board for early start-up project ideas, no strings attached, and how we talk about it is itself a free sample of how we deliver systems.
