Study of System Architectures

Current systems are became more and more organized.

ACT-OR can support Customer in the design and the analysis of integrated system architectures of modern plants, assessing different kinds of communication and net structuring.

Design of Automation and Control Strategies

Control Systems Contract Management

ACT-OR support their Customers during these phases:• technical requirements definition and

specification developing for system procurement

• Bid alignment and evaluation• Vendor follow-up• Factory acceptance tests• Site acceptance tests and commissioning

ACT-OR can supply the whole documentation covering control, automation and protection of plants

• control and automation description• I/O lists and System Database• logic diagrams (ACT tool, MS Excel

output)• cause and Effects diagrams• sequence diagrams• alarm lists.

Dynamic Simulation

Up-to-date technologies allow a dynamic analysis of plant requirements, to streamline capacity and performance. The use of systems such as Operator Training Simulator (OTS), Advanced Process Control (APC) and Packs and Process Simulators, is followed by ACT-OR also through Academic cooperations
