Process Automation Architecture & Control
Automation architecture planned around process requirements, control logic, operating sequences and equipment interfaces.
Automation, ELV, BMS & EMS
Connected systems for visible, controlled operations.
From process automation to environmental monitoring and facility communication, our approach focuses on efficient operation, real-time visibility, critical parameter control and facility safety. Each system is developed around the process, utilities, cleanroom requirements and operating philosophy of the facility.

Connected Control
THE APPROACH
A coordinated architecture across process and facility systems.
Process automation, BMS, EMS, ICT and ELV systems are developed within a coordinated facility architecture, with clear system boundaries and interfaces.
Control logic, data points, alarms, communication pathways and equipment interfaces are coordinated with process systems, utilities, cleanrooms and electrical infrastructure.
This helps reduce integration gaps while maintaining the system boundaries required for reliable and controlled operation.
Interfaces defined earlySystem boundaries, communication requirements and responsibilities are established before implementation.
Information where it is neededOperational data, alarms and system status are made available to the appropriate users and control platforms.
Core focus areas
Eight connected systems across the facility.
Each system is planned around its operating purpose, information requirements, interfaces and relationship with the wider facility.
BMS & EMS Integration
BMS and EMS requirements coordinated to support building control, environmental monitoring, alarms, trends and GMP-critical data where applicable.
Critical Environmental & Utility Parameter Integration
Monitoring and control inputs developed for temperature, humidity, pressure, airflow and selected critical-utility parameters.
ICT & Data Distribution
Data networks and communication infrastructure planned for reliable connectivity across facility systems and users.
IDF Zoning & Wi-Fi Design
IT distribution zones and wireless coverage planned for organised data flow, maintainability and controlled connectivity.
Access Control & Security Systems
Access control, restricted-area management, door strategy and intrusion detection coordinated around personnel movement and security requirements.
Public Address & Voice Alarm
Communication and voice-alarm systems integrated to support operational announcements, facility safety and emergency response.
Digital Clock, IPTV & AV Systems
Time-synchronisation, display, IPTV and AV systems planned where required for coordination, communication and facility usability.
Standards & compliance
Developed with recognised automation and digital-system requirements in mind.
Automation, BMS, EMS and ELV systems are developed with reference to project specifications, intended use, cybersecurity requirements, GMP expectations and applicable international standards.
Reference frameworks may include:
ISA/IEC 62443 SeriesIndustrial automation and control-system cybersecurity
IEC 61131-3Programmable-controller programming languages
ISO 16484 SeriesBuilding automation and control systems
EU GMP Annex 11Computerised systems used in GMP-regulated activities, where applicable
Applicable StandardsICT cabling, access-control, fire-alarm and voice-alarm standards
Project RequirementsLocal-authority and project-specific requirements
Note: Applicable references depend on the systems included, project location, regulatory pathway and whether the system handles GMP-critical data or functions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What to know before planning connected facility systems.
Coordinated project information
A BMS controls and monitors building services such as HVAC, temperature, pressure and equipment status. An EMS focuses on recording, trending, alarming and reporting GMP-critical environmental parameters.
Yes. We can coordinate selected parameters, alarms and equipment status between platforms. The integration depends on communication protocols, system ownership, GMP criticality and cybersecurity requirements.
This depends on your process, cleanroom classification and quality-risk assessment. Typical parameters include temperature, humidity, differential pressure, airflow and selected critical-utility conditions.
For GMP-relevant systems, we define user roles, alarm handling, audit-trail requirements and access controls according to system criticality and site quality requirements.
Yes. We assess existing networks, controllers, devices, software and operational dependencies, then plan controlled cutovers and testing windows to reduce disruption.
We verify applicable sensors, alarms, trends, access controls, interfaces and system responses against approved requirements. GMP-critical functions are documented to support qualification and handover.
