System Design
Elite take specifications produced by our consultancy department or any third part and engineer a superior solution using our ISO9001:2000 TickIT accredited design procedures. Full control is implemented by these quality procedures which are regularly inspected by BSI and our proprietary documentation and control software Asset Guardian.
The end results of this approach are Process Control and Automation Systems which exceed client expectations, with full support available for the lifetime of the system.
PLC / SCADA And DCS Integration
All software produced by Elite is produced to the highest standards using our ever developing software tools and design methods. Software we develop is easy to understand, easy to maintain and well documented providing an easy route to modify and enhance during the systems lifetime.
With the introduction of new software tools (IEC61131-3) our design procedures are regularly modified to provide the best quality and most cost effective solution for our partners.
Elite work in close partnerships and have arrangements with major manufacturers such as Rockwell Automation, Siemens etc which ensure we use only the original most up-to date software tools.
Database Integration
In recent years, Process Control & Automation Systems have been progressing to use relational databases in a much larger scale. These databases when used with proprietary SCADA's now give systems the ability to store and process huge amounts of data and produce comprehensive online reports and data which is leading to a revolution in automation.
Gone are the days when you had to wait for data being compiled by hand before you could make minor adjustments to your process. With the systems that Elite produce, the system can carry out adjustments automatically, in real time, allowing for better quality products, faster and more often.
Our systems can now carry out downtime analysis and highlight areas of your process which need urgent attention, allowing predictive downtime analysis, you can now see something going wrong with your plant before it stops your production and allows you to schedule your down time, not react to it.
Simulation & Testing
At Elite we have for many years used simulation to test our software. Using software simulation system allow us to quickly and more thoroughly test the software we produce in-house. This approach minimises expensive time spent on site and allows us to use valuable engineering resources more effectively in a much more controlled environment.
Simulation not only allows us to test the software at the many stages our procedures require but after the system in installed and running, clients can and regularly do come back to us and as us questions like ' What happens if this scenario takes place '. With simulation, we can set up the complete process in minutes and try the scenario.
Simulation also allows us to carry out operator training on a new or existing system before the system is operational, minimising start-up times of a system.
Installation
At Elite, we have dedicated Installation Managers. These Managers, plan, supervise and control all aspects of your new or upgraded system. We have partner companies who supply manpower on a regular basis to Elite to carry our installations. This arrangement allows us to have competent qualified people of the correct disciplines carrying out tasks when required but offers the continuity of on site contact for overall site management.
The Installation Managers are usually the same people who have been heavily involved in the actual hardware design of the system so an in-depth knowledge of the overall system is retained from design through to installation.
Commissioning
All of our systems, having been designed, produced and tested to the possible standards require minimum commissioning. You experiences with other integrators make it easy for us to impress in this area. The experienced commissioning engineers will attend your site with the knowledge that all hardware and software components of the system have been rigorously tested before being released for commissioning. With this knowledge, the engineers can proceed with confidence in the system. Also the engineers have direct access to system and product specialists both within Elite and our partners if the need arises.
Training
We place great importance on working in partnership with clients within our training centre. With the ability to provide standard and bespoke courses tailored to meet the client's individual requirements, we work with you to ensure you see a return on investment.
