Automation & Control

 
We develop comprehensive automation projects, combining engineering, technology, and training to enable safe and reliable operation. From engineering through commissioning.

Engineering services KronTec

Our Engineering Services form the strategic core for transforming client requirements into technically feasible, safe, and scalable projects, supported by comprehensive documentation at every stage.

We provide the technical foundation for implementing world-class automation, process control, and industrial communications solutions.

Our comprehensive approach ensures that every stage of development delivers tangible value, technical traceability, and operational feasibility, reducing risks and optimizing client resources.

Conceptual Engineering

  • Ensure that the proposed solution is technically and economically feasible and compliant with applicable regulations, reducing investment risks.
  • Initial technical consulting and requirements gathering.
  • Technical and economic feasibility studies (preliminary CAPEX/OPEX, technical and regulatory risks).
  • Technology selection and benchmarking of market alternatives.
  • Definition of strategic guidelines, scope, and limitations.
  • Operational impact and production continuity analysis.

Basic Engineering

  • Ensures compatibility, scalability, and regulatory compliance before proceeding to detailed engineering.
  • Electrical diagrams, control architectures, and industrial network design (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, etc.).
  • Functional process modeling and operational narratives.
  • Definition of interfaces with existing systems (SCADA, MES, ERP, DCS).
  • Identification and application of codes and standards (IEC, ISA, NEMA, ATEX, IECEx).
  • Preselection of automation technologies and platforms.

Detail Engineering

  • Ensures controlled and reliable implementation, reducing failures during installation, commissioning, and operation.
  • Electrical drawings, instrumentation loop diagrams, and P&IDs.
  • Bills of materials (BOM), signal lists (I/O List), and instrumentation databases.
  • Installation and assembly drawings: cable routes, cable trays, and switchboard layout.
  • Technical specifications, installation manuals, and FAT/SAT and loop test protocols.
  • Engineering quality assurance plan (QA/QC) and technical audits.
  • Engineering progress milestone control.
