Consulting & Custom Software Development
Twenty-four years of hands-on experience across 17 countries — from process consulting and bespoke industrial software to digital twin builds and end-to-end digital transformation programmes.
Process, Control & Digital Transformation Advisory
Independent advisory built on 24+ years of frontline delivery in oil & gas, refining, petrochemicals and terminals — including leading the industry's first fully autonomous, unmanned North Sea gas platform. We help operators pinpoint the highest-value opportunities across process, control and OT/IT, and build the business case for them.
- Autonomous-operations strategy and roadmaps — from step-change automation to fully unmanned facilities
- APC/MPC benefit studies, functional design specifications and quantified ROI cases
- Process, control and safety-system assessments — BPCS, SIS, alarm management, HAZOP/LOPA/SIL
- Feasibility, FEED and migration planning for legacy control & optimisation applications
- Fired heater, distillation column and utility-system optimisation for energy and emissions
- Executive workshops, technical due diligence and knowledge transfer to your engineering teams
Bespoke Industrial Software — Digitalising Manual Workflows
Turn the paper checklists, spreadsheets, standalone tools and tribal know-how that still run your plant into modern, auditable, browser-based applications. When off-the-shelf products don't quite fit, we design and build industrial-grade software tailored to your process, workflows and existing systems — reliable, secure, auditable and easy for operators to trust.
- Digitalising manual processes & workflows — replacing paper SOPs, Excel logbooks, standalone tools and one-off scripts with connected applications
- Batch and sequence automation — ISA-88 recipe execution, start-up/shutdown sequences and repeatable operational procedures
- Requirements capture, solution architecture and delivery against your functional design specification
- OPC UA/DA, historian (PHD/PI), SCADA/DCS and CMMS/ERP integrations
- AI copilots, LLM-based intent recognition and conversational interfaces for the control room
- Custom dashboards, KPI reporting and role-based visualisations for operations, engineering and management
- Full lifecycle: architecture, agile delivery, FAT/SAT, commissioning support and ongoing maintenance
High-Fidelity Process Twins, Connected to Live Plant Data
We build first-principles digital twins of your process units — steady-state and dynamic — connected to real-time plant data for continuous validation, control-strategy checkout and operator training. The same twin becomes the foundation for autonomous operations, what-if analysis and future AI-driven optimisation.
- Steady-state and dynamic simulation using industry-leading tools (UniSim Design and equivalents)
- Real-time OPC data integration for live validation and drift monitoring
- DCS checkout, control-strategy validation and procedure development on the twin
- Operator Training Simulators (OTS) and immersive scenario libraries
- Interactive P&ID visualisation with live data and what-if scenario analysis
- Custom equipment models for unique or non-standard unit operations
End-to-End Programmes Toward Autonomous Operations
We lead full digital-transformation programmes for process facilities — from strategy and business case through OT/IT integration, application deployment and change management. The goal isn't a shinier dashboard: it's measurable movement along the autonomy curve, with fewer manual touches, tighter control and better decisions.
- Digital-transformation strategy, roadmap and stage-gated delivery programmes
- OT/IT integration — DCS, SCADA, historians, LIMS, planning & scheduling, CMMS/ERP, yield accounting
- Advanced process control, asset performance management and alarm-management deployments
- Procedure automation, blending & movement automation and steps toward unmanned operation
- Data platforms, real-time analytics, AI/ML integration and control-room copilots
- Governance, cybersecurity considerations, change management and operator adoption
