FAQ

Industry Solutions — Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine which solution fits my industry?

We start with a site assessment and operational requirements analysis. Our engineers evaluate your current control systems, production challenges, data infrastructure, and long-term goals — then recommend a tailored solution across automation, AI, and ICT domains.

Can the same solution work across different industries?

While our core technology stack (PLC, SCADA, AI, networking) transfers across industries, each deployment is tailored to the specific operational context — regulatory requirements, environmental conditions, integration with existing equipment, and available skill sets.

Do you provide solutions for both greenfield and brownfield sites?

Yes. For greenfield sites we provide full design and build. For brownfield upgrades we focus on minimising production disruption — pre-commissioning off-site, phased cutovers, and parallel system operation during transition periods.

How do you ensure your solutions comply with industry regulations?

We design systems to comply with relevant standards: IEC 61131-3 (PLC programming), ISO 13849 (safety), SANS 10142 (electrical), and IEC 62443 (OT cybersecurity). Compliance documentation is delivered as part of every project.
