Advanced industrial and process automation |
|
The control systems automation is the beating heart of almost every mechanised process and ushered in the 3rd industrial revolution. Industrial equipment and systems needs to operate repeatedly and reliably 24 hours a day – 365 days a year. Our advanced automation group has the expertise to design, build, deploy, and troubleshoot industrial automation systems to ensure your operations are working consistently and efficiently. We design real-time control systems using industry-recognised automation processes such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). We also enable the design and incorporation of Internet of Things (IoT), and IIOT platforms and solutions across businesses. And with our deep knowledge of cybersecurity, we ensure these systems are secure and protected from threats and vulnerabilities. We provide end-to-end enterprise automation of IT and OT systems, and bring about the convergence of both Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and SCADA/PLC processes for greater enterprise efficiency and productivity. Our team of engineers have deep industry knowledge and help with all aspects of automation. We integrate our automation with cybersecurity, data analytics, Intelligent Automation (RPA) and development of digital twins. Our services include: Turnkey control system delivery
System integration
Remote access, network design and cybersecurity
Multi-layered defence approach to OT cybersecurity

Swooping down from the top with a birds-eye survey view of your assets and facilities, and getting down to the bottom level details is one way to look at our services in the ariel and ground intelligence space. We use smart geomatics and spatial intelligence, coupled with high quality asset capture and photogrammetry to create visual image analytics and digital replicas of assets and infrastructure. With teams increasingly working remotely across multiple locations, you need to find innovative ways to complete site visits and bring your projects to life. Our Arial and Ground Intelligence team use cutting edge technology to optimise site visits and capture data in nominal time. Our team of experts can quickly bring data into a digital environment so that your clients, contractors, and stakeholders can experience your project from the home or office. Our team of qualified, experienced professionals include Land Surveyors, 3D Modelers, Drone Pilots, Spatial Scientists, LiDAR Technicians and CADD Professionals. Services include:
Maps, models, and surveys We use light detection and ranging (LiDAR), land surveying, and photography to deliver site maps, topographic maps, and 3D models rapidly, and in a variety of formats to support your design, engineering, and construction needs. Asset management and assessment platforms We can host model data on several platforms to deepen your understanding of site conditions. Enabling you to execute and collaborate on virtual inspections, conditions assessments, and site walkthroughs from your home or office. Virtual site walks With restrictions on travel and gatherings, normal business logistics have been significantly disrupted. Our team has developed smart solutions to ensure business continuity:

Digital Engineering and information management |
|
In an era of digital transformation, the engineering sector recognises the power and benefits of moving projects to digital environments. Digital Engineering (DE) is a collaborative way of working using digital processes to enable more productive methods of planning, designing, constructing, operating and maintaining assets throughout their lifecycle. DE/BIM (Building Information Modelling) can be used to manage all data related to project elements, such as geometrical properties, quantities, properties of materials (colours, textures, price, suppliers etc.), building systems, components, assemblies, and the scope of works, including facility management of selected project assets, as well as 3D models. Drawing on more than 90 years of insights and experience in engineering, combined with the latest developments in digital technology, we help you with digital design, construction and operational environments. DE is more than just a design tool; it is a collaborative way of working, enabled by coordinated information management to improve decision-making and create both efficiencies and certainty throughout entire asset lifecycle. From Maturity Assessment frameworks to rapid executable BIM methodology tools, we can help you accelerate your digital transformation journey with confidence. We adhere to international standards and best practices, so that you can trust the methodology. |

We help you protect critical infrastructure – embedding Security by Design. We design and implement policies, processes and technologies to protect organisations, their critical systems, and sensitive information from digital attacks. By applying our three-pronged approach to assess, protect, and manage, we can help organisations develop bespoke cyber risk strategies. Our cyber resilience strategy integrates a standards-based approach, industry best practices, advanced technologies, and engineering expertise to help protect your critical infrastructure. Our goal is to minimise the probability of cybersecurity incidents and the associated financial and reputational impact on your operational technology systems and eliminate threats of strategic consequences for an organisation.

Intelligent automation and robotic process automation |
|
The pandemic has accelerated the need for digital transformation. However, human limitations combined with remote work challenges mean that people simply cannot work any harder. It is imperative that our ways of working and processes change to help people work smarter. By performing process tasks more quickly, accurately, and tirelessly, intelligent automation and robotic process automation (RPA) can unleash productivity gains, and help clients operate amidst increasing uncertainty and ambiguity. Often referred to as ‘digital workers’, RPA helps your organisation to focus on tasks that require higher human skills such as emotional intelligence, reasoning, judgment, and interaction with the customer. Since the digital workers can operate 24/7, the turnaround time reductions of up to 60 percent to 80 percent are common. We use software robots and AI and machine learning (ML) capabilities to execute business processes emulating human actions. Let’s help you unlock the potential of technology, process, and people to provide maximum value for your business and implement best-of-breed solutions. Our industry agnostic intelligent and robotic process automation services cover both advisory and solution delivery, including a range of bespoke and industry-standard solutions:
