Our Engineering Approach
Understand the Complete System
Successful automation begins with understanding the process—not simply the control software.
We consider operating conditions, process requirements, equipment limitations, instrumentation, electrical systems, communications, operator interaction and production objectives.
Design for Real Operations
Industrial systems must be reliable, understandable, maintainable and testable under actual operating conditions.
Protect Production Continuity
For existing facilities, modernization and system modifications should be planned to minimize shutdown requirements and reduce operational disruption wherever practical.
Solve the Root Cause
Complex industrial problems often cross traditional engineering boundaries.
Our approach looks beyond individual alarms and symptoms to identify underlying control, instrumentation, communication, electrical, equipment or process issues.
Create Sustainable Solutions
Maintainable architecture, engineering documentation, appropriate testing and practical implementation are integral parts of successful industrial automation.
Why Quant Engineering
Professional Engineering Expertise
Professional engineering credentials in British Columbia and Alberta combined with decades of industrial automation and control-system experience.
Complex Problem Solving
Strong experience identifying and resolving unusual technical problems involving control software, networks, instrumentation, electrical systems, equipment and process behaviour.
Brownfield & Legacy-System Expertise
Significant experience with existing industrial facilities and legacy systems where upgrades and migrations must be carefully engineered around ongoing production.
Field-Proven Experience
Engineering experience extends from design and programming through FAT/SAT, construction support, commissioning, shutdowns, start-up and operating production facilities.
Multidisciplinary Perspective
Industrial automation requires more than PLC programming. Our approach considers the interaction between the process, control system, electrical equipment, instrumentation, communications, mechanical equipment and operators.
Focus on Operational Results
Engineering should deliver more than technical modifications. The objective is to improve reliability, production, safety, maintainability, efficiency and long-term operational performance.
Project Approach
Assess
Understand the process, equipment, operating problem, existing systems and project objectives.
Engineer
Develop a practical technical solution considering reliability, production continuity, safety, cost and maintainability.
Test
Verify modifications through appropriate simulation, functional testing, FAT/SAT or controlled field testing.
Implement
Support installation, migration, commissioning and start-up.
Optimize
Evaluate performance, resolve deficiencies and make final adjustments to achieve the intended operational result.
