3. Mapping the Engineering process for a Control system design
Challenges in Control system engineering:
• 10% of the engineering process in based on intelligence
& solution building.
• 20% of the engineering is dependent on the experience
of the engineer
• 70% of the engineering work in monotonous or repetitive
in nature.
4. Automating the Engineering process for a Control system design
• Defining a Framework for Control system Engineering
• Standardization of “Solution Architecture” & “Control Components”.
(this will address most issue related to Solution building & Skill level’s of engineers)
(this will address the issues of monotonous & repetitive activities in engineering process)
5. Results achieved through “Automating the Control Engineering process”
• Mechanical drafting resulting into Electrical control system
drawings in One step.
