Our Services
What We Do
-
Adsyst customers require us to offer scalable solutions. Some require a simple, PLC and HMI in an ICA control panel, but more and more of our activities are moving towards a competitive ‘Total System Solution’. By this, we mean one single order to Adsyst or one of our tailored partnerships/alliances to undertake a complete design, build and deliver of the total EICA service. This normally consists of acting as Principal Contractor or Designer, design, build and install of all LV Assemblies, all on-site electrical installation services and all of the ICA control system software for PLC’s, HMI’s, SCADA and Telemetry. In these circumstances, our CDM experience and overall project management skills enable a competitive, innovative solution to be delivered on time and within budget.
-
Adsyst supply complete project documentation including User Requirement Specifications (URS), Detailed Control Philosophy’s, System Design Specifications (SDS), Functional Design Specifications (FDS), System Architecture diagrams and implementation strategies, plans and drawings.
-
Adsyst Automation promotes the importance of customer care and service support throughout our organisation.
We provide post-sales support in a variety of different ways tailored to suit our customer’s individual needs. All systems are supported by a minimum 1 year warranty. However, in addition to this many of our clients take up annual Support and Maintenance Contracts which are tailored to suit their specific requirements.
-
Adsyst is often used at the initial design phase of a project. We provide, fixed competitive prices for undertaking consultancy services, for example – on-site surveys, conceptual design studies, asset analysis, and user requirement specification services. These initial orders are then offset against the final system project price, and experience has taught us that clients who utilise us at this early opportunity end up with much greater innovation and added-value realisation, reducing the overall whole-life project cost.
-
Adsyst has the experience, knowledge and integration skills to inter-link our clients preferred hardware and software components into one fully functional system. We are regularly employed by Customers to undertake rigorous tests incorporating multiple supplier Hardware/Software solutions to produce a comprehensive recommendation report. Our customers preferred solution is integrated into existing legacy networks or new applications insuring a robust system is reliably delivered.
-
Adsyst Automation’s four-phased testing procedure has been highly praised and adopted by several of our customers. Another successful strategy here at Adsyst is to undertake early module tests, for hardware or software components to be repeated throughout the overall system. As an example of this strategy, Adsyst created a “Master Project” for each of our key clients. These master projects contain generic ‘device’ code/modules all pre-tested and developed to client-specific standards.
Our Skills
-
Adsyst design, build, test and install LV Assemblies of varying size and complexity at our dedicated Panel shop in Stafford and with the help of some trusted partners (when panels are on the larger side). These include intelligent assemblies (e.g. Devicenet, Profibus, or Ethernet-based), conventional MCCs, stand-alone ICA control panels, Network Node Boxes (NNBs), UPS systems and solar-powered solutions. We also regularly modify existing assets on-site, either by extending features or capacity or by replacing old legacy PLCs, HMIs, Telemetry or SCADA components with minimal downtime.
-
Electrical and Network Installation activities are regularly provided as part of our total system solutions. We have many project examples where we have partnered to include extensive power cabling, signal cabling, network cabling, and LV Assembly installation services as part of our own project managed activities. This requires us to supply P&ID diagrams, cable schedules, single line diagrams, G.A drawings, and other detailed design and as built construction diagrams.
-
Commissioning phases often include I/O and loop testing, Profibus / Ethernet node configurations and cable tests, instrument configuration and calibration, software functional testing and site acceptance testing (SAT’s). Commissioning services also encompass – 30 day trials, hand over activities, training and on-going support.

Project Manager - Black & Veatch
“Adsyst worked with Black & Veatch on a major project for central London which involved the refurbishment of 32 Rapid Gravity Filters for Hampton WTW (with an approx, average output of 600 M/Litre per Day).Part of this work involved the supply and integration of a complex parallel control system and IAMCC solution for Thames Water.We are pleased to advise that this project won two ICE (institute of civil engineers) awards for: 1- Conservation Category i.e. re-use of existing plant 2 - Greatest Contribution to London i.e. refurbishment work completed without loss to supply During the refurbishment activity where existing plant was running in parallel with new plant, the role Adsyst played in the ICA installation and commissioning significantly influenced the 2nd award won. Please express our thanks to the Adsyst team involved with this project.”
