What are turnkey automation projects?

A turnkey automation project delivers a complete, ready-to-operate solution where one system integrator manages every phase of the lifecycle — from initial concept through to final commissioning and handover.

You get a single point of responsibility. That reduces project complexity, cuts risk, and keeps automation, electrical and control systems on time, within budget and to specification.

Project Delivery

Our turnkey project lifecycle

Seven phases, one accountable team, from the first scoping conversation to long-term lifecycle support.

PHASE 01

Concept & feasibility

We work with you to understand operational requirements, define project scope and develop the optimal automation and electrical solution.

PHASE 02

Design & engineering

Detailed control system architecture, electrical designs, functional specifications, panel drawings and software standards, developed for your application.

PHASE 03

Procurement & panel manufacturing

We manage hardware and software procurement and manufacture PLC, RIO, network and electrical control panels to our quality standards.

PHASE 04

Software development & integration

Our teams develop PLC and SCADA applications, integrate control systems and establish reliable communication across industrial networks and field devices.

PHASE 05

Factory & Site Acceptance Testing

FAT and SAT verify system performance and compliance before and after installation, so problems surface in the workshop rather than on the plant floor.

PHASE 06

Commissioning & handover

Onsite commissioning, start-up support, operator training and complete project documentation for a clean transition into operation.

PHASE 07

Support & maintenance

Ongoing technical support, maintenance and lifecycle services to hold long-term reliability and performance.
