Systems Integration

Shaping a Successful Result from the Start.

Texcello manages every project with a comprehensive set of tools for planning and tracking tasks, deliverable, and milestones. Clear communications and rigorous documentation ensure that client expectations are met throughout the project.

Articulating the Project Vision

Texcello engages its clients' stakeholders to determine project goals, scope boundaries, assumptions, and customer requirements. A common vision of the project is formulated in a project assessment report.

Characterizing the Control System

Texcello' experienced professionals work closely with the client's engineers to map out the preliminary scope of work for the project and propose a high level view of the system requirements.

The conceptual design includes a budgetary estimate and schedule to support the feasibility and business case reviews.

Driving the Decision with Data

Business drivers are evaluated, including return on investment, and safety and environmental issues. The earlier project assessment report and conceptual design provide essential data for this study. Texcello offers consultation, staff augmentation, and assistance with deliverable to support the decision making steps.

Converting Concept to Design Basis

Texcello works under a project execution plan and performs the engineering to evolve a solid project design basis from an earlier conceptual design. Client review and approval cycles assure the quality of the functional requirements specification and the control system vendor evaluations.

Developing Hardware Details

Texcello and the client establish specific project standards for the detailed hardware design of the system and the field I/O.

Developing Software Details

Texcello and the client establish project design standards for the system software and the HMI operator functions. Texcello and the client create detailed design specifications for each loop and control scheme. Individual control loops are configured and tested to the software design specifications.

Connecting to the Process

Texcello provides CAD and engineering services for instrumentation, field devices, and electrical equipment including layout, installation, wiring, junction boxes, and cable runs.

Distributing Monitoring and Control

Texcello designs industry standard as well as vendor specific networks for distributing controllers, I/O, data servers, and operator stations. Networks like Industrial Ethernet can be a composite of cables, fiber optics, and wireless systems, with managed switches and routers.

Creating Consistently Correct Control

Texcello' qualified specialists configure executable control logic and operator stations (HMI) to perform the required process functionality in accordance with project standards and client review cycles. Controls are configured according to a Software Design Specification. Software quality standards lead to consistent, correct, maintainable control systems. 

Supplying World-Class Panels

Texcello operates has its reliable and time-tested vendors for panel fabrication and testing facility. The Texcello team designs and builds sophisticated panels both for a wide variety of projects, from small operator PLC cabinets, to large multi-bay safety and control systems designed to run large facilities.  

Approving the Configurations

Texcello builds process simulation test beds to prove that controls and operator interfaces will function in accordance with project requirements. A FAT plan with checklists lets the client's representatives test every loop and HMI screen against the Software Design Specification. 

Realizing the Vision

Texcello can supply the construction scope of work and support the client with preparing and analyzing bid packages based on the detailed design. Texcello can support the control system and field installation activities, including power up and commissioning with cabinet testing, communication testing, and I/O signal testing.

Testing and Turn Over

After the control system and all the I/O have been installed and commissioned, Texcello works with the client to supply the Site Acceptance Testing in accordance with Texcello' generated SAT plan. SAT is similar to the FAT, but includes testing of actual field devices and foreign device interfaces. 

Empowering the People

Texcello provides webinars and training.

Training specific to a control system project may be customized with training materials and manuals for operators or technical personnel. Project classes can be scheduled at Texcello' offices in conjunction with Factory Acceptance Testing, or at the client's site in conjunction with Site Acceptance Testing. 

Supporting Client Successes

Texcello offers qualified specialists to support clients' needs. Personnel can be provided to augment the client's staff or to consult on specific issues (hardware, software, safety, advanced control, networks, and alarm management, to name a few.)

A Technical Services Agreement (TSA) is an annual arrangement with a time-plus-expenses purchase order and discounted pricing. 

Looking Ahead

Texcello can provide the client with strategies, alternatives, and estimates for upgrades and migrations of safety and control systems.
