How we work

One team from URS to handover.

A fixed sequence with a named lead engineer throughout. Every step produces a document you can put in front of an auditor.

  1. 01

    Discover & specify

    Site walk-through, process review and a User Requirements Specification we write together with your engineering and QA teams.

  2. 02

    Design

    Functional and design specifications, network and hardware architecture, risk assessment and a traceability matrix back to the URS.

  3. 03

    Build & test

    Panel build, software development and a Factory Acceptance Test at our facility, with your team invited to witness.

  4. 04

    Commission & qualify

    Installation, Site Acceptance Test, IQ/OQ execution support, operator training and a documented handover with remote support afterwards.

Global reach

Based in London. Commissioning wherever your plant is.

Our engineers travel to site for FAT, SAT and start-up, and support systems remotely between visits. Documentation is prepared in English as standard.

FAQ

Common questions.

Anything else? Ask us directly. We reply within one working day.

Which control platforms do you work with?
We are vendor-independent and work with the major PLC, HMI and SCADA platforms used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Where a site already has a standard, we follow it; where there is none, we recommend based on lifecycle support, spare parts availability and your team's familiarity.
How do you approach computer system validation?
We follow a risk-based lifecycle approach aligned with GAMP 5 and support requirements such as 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11: electronic records, audit trails, access control and data integrity are designed in from the specification stage, not added afterwards. We deliver the design documentation and test protocols; your QA team retains ownership of approval.
Can you upgrade an existing system without stopping production?
In most cases, yes. We plan migrations around scheduled shutdowns, stage new server stations in parallel with the existing ones, and rehearse the cut-over during FAT so the on-site window is as short as possible.
Do you supply hardware or software only?
Both. Server stations are delivered as complete, pre-configured and tested hardware. Cycle control systems can be supplied as full panels or as software for panels built by your equipment OEM.
What does support look like after handover?
Every project includes a warranty period with remote support. Beyond that we offer service agreements covering periodic review, backup verification, patch management and on-site visits.
