Preliminary and Detailed Engineering

For some projects, it is advantageous to start with a preliminary engineering phase to fully determine the project scope and feasibility. Specifically, KASS Automation can help clients determine what will be included in the project goals, what will be excluded, and whether the project should be launched or not. Thus, for a fraction of the project’s overall cost, we provide a comprehensive document outlining the project parameters that can be used, for instance, to obtain the budget required for implementation and to accurately assess the risk related with carrying out a specific project.

The project can therefore be redefined, postponed or cancelled if the findings of the preliminary engineering phase are not acceptable, thus avoiding unnecessary expenses.
Detailed engineering includes the production of all required documents for installation, calibration and start-up of control equipment, as well as staff training.
KASS Automation’s engineers and technicians take responsibility for generating deliverables while allowing you to remain in control of the scope and budget of your project.
KASS Automation engineers can produce the following documents as part of the preliminary engineering phase:

Control Panel Manufacturing

Most automation and control projects require the design and manufacture of control panels to house the components that make up these systems.
With its increased production capacity, KASS Automation can now manufacture panels for projects according to drawings and specifications in our workshop. Whether clients need a main control panel, an operator interface or junction boxes, we deliver the highest quality products with required certifications including the supply of components, assembly, dielectric tests and packaging for shipment. This approach allows us to respond more easily to any design changes without impacting project delivery.

Research and Development - Prototypes

KASS Automation engineers and technicians can act as a R&D department or take on a fully -inclusive R&D mandate with all the trial-and-error risks involved. Our state-of-the-art facilities allow us to validate concepts using temporary prototypes and installations and bring clients closer to a large-scale manufacturing operation. We are constantly working in an R&D environment, either for our turnkey projects or for modifications to equipment. In a way, this has become like second nature, and we can put this expertise to work to make original ideas come to life.

Innovation is often the key factor that will make clients stand out from competitors, lowering costs and thus securing a strong market position. Clients have the ideas, and we have the brains and the innovative attitude that they need.

Risk Analysis – Machine Safety

KASS Automation has machine safety integrated into its genetic code. All the machines it designs meet the appropriate safety standards. Thus, it is with the safety of workers in mind that we intervene in any application, whether designed by us or by third parties. Our advanced knowledge and our proven work methods ensure adequate protection and clear procedures. With clients’ cooperation, we are able to identify, measure, assess and monitor risks, and make the necessary adjustments in order to comply with internationally recognized machine safety standards.

All robotic projects at KASS Automation meet safety requirements under current laws and regulations. Thus, each application is reviewed by our machine-safety experts and a risk analysis is performed and validated. Safety is designed to maximize productivity while minimizing risks to employees and equipment.

Project Management

Project management is one of the most important factors for a successful project, and KASS Automation adheres to the recognized principles in this field.
We promote the use of project management milestones: Definition, Design, Development, Deployment, Direction and Documentation. Our approach, based on the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure), ensures monitoring that focuses on all of the levels while the project is being carried out, eliminating many problems that might interfere with the schedule.

Installation & Commissioning

Our technicians can install parts or entire equipment in a plant to provide clients with the most effective turnkey solution. We also subcontract mechanical, electrical or piping work to our partner companies. Our goal is to ensure that the equipment or system will perform according to the needs, within requested timeframes.
Our wide range of services allows us to ensure proper implementation of our engineering solutions. We offer technical support in all electrical and mechanical aspects, as well as installation and calibration of instruments.

Our engineering team also provides support for pre-operational checks and start-up processes, in addition to providing post-start-up support. We can also rely on a group of resources from our affiliated companies in the industry.

Consulting

With so many years of experience in industrial automation, KASS Automation provides consulting services to solve expansion problems and the associated headaches.
Our consulting teams can help clients identify and eliminate the operational restrictions that impact profitability, such as inefficiencies; obsolete, under-utilized, or unsuitable technologies; capacity bottlenecks; and manufacturing, planning and resource leveling problems, as well as a lack of strategic vision.
With the help of KASS Automation, clients can turn problems into benefits for the company.
