Overview
The controls automation is a single point of failure that can bring down the entire process and therefore represents significant risk. In addition, if the operators and maintenance cannot efficiently operate and manage the system, the inefficient operation represents substantial operational costs during the life of the system.
With over 20 years' experience, TSI is a trusted solution provider for reducing these risks and long-term operational costs. Our controls capabilities include:
- Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Distributed Control System (DCS)
- Human Machine Interface (HMI) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
What makes us different and significantly reduces our start-up time compared to traditional methods is our extensive experience in dealing with issues and problems our experts have resolved in the past 20-plus years.

PLC and DCS Programming
The programmable logic controller (PLC) or distributed control system (DCS) programming is a single point of failure for controls automation systems and therefore represents significant risk.
Through our extensive experience implementing many controls and automation projects, we reduce this risk through in-house tools such as standard code generators and I/O emulation for complete off-line testing.
Our standard code generation ensures rapid development cycles and proven results, no matter who from TSI performs the software development. The result is software that works and software that is easy to maintain as a result of this consistency.
We have experience with all International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61131-3 programming languages—as well major controller suppliers including:

PLC |
DCS |

HMI / SCADA
When implementing any controls automation system, a critical success factor for reduced operational costs is how well operators and maintenance personnel can operate and manage the system on a day-to-day basis. And the key tools used are the graphical user interfaces and real-time dashboards provided by human machine interface (HMI) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software solutions.
With experience in many automation projects spanning multiple industries, TSI is different in that we deploy an approach that allows the operator and maintenance personnel to provide input at multiple stages throughout the project, which engages ownership of the solution and real-time control over the system. This approach can substantially reduce the long-term operational costs.
