TURN KEY SYSTEM INTEGRATION FAST integrates turn-key automation and process control systems, in full compliance with the technical specifications, standards, quality, expected timing and costs. According to its corporate philosophy, FAST considers system integration to be much more than merely making different processes, technologies and vendors interoperable and interconnected. Above all, it means establishing a relationship with the customers by creating tailor-made solutions for each of them and by always offering the best compromise between requirements and available budget. From the most complex architecture based on different brands of hardware and software to single-brand architecture, centralized and distributed systems, wired installations and those featuring fieldbus or wireless technology, FAST covers all the necessary know-how to build control systems in different industrial, power generation and multiutility sectors. An agile organization and multidisciplinary skills allow FAST to deal with all the tasks required to create turn-key systems: Project management System architecture definition Hardware design specification Software design specification Electrical cabinet engineering and wiring Configuration of control and supervision application software Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) Electrical installation Commissioning start-up Training After-Sales service
PROJECT MANAGEMENT When a complex project is engineered, the appointed team of hardware and software engineers is coordinated by a Project Manager with high-level technical skills and tried-and-tested experience. The entire technical and business coordination of resources and tasks is organized to suit the requirements of the Customer, who interfaces only with the Project Manager. The projects are managed in accordance with a specific Project Plan issued and updated as established by FAST s Quality Management System procedures, certified in compliance with UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 standards. Meetings with customers and end users so as to define specifications, planning tasks and intermediate audits Project planning Technical coordination Resource management Issue and management of project documentation Management of supplies FAT management Logistics management
ENGINEERING Project engineering is the most important, but also the most critical phase in the creation of a technological system since its goal is to define the structure in which the entire life cycle of that system will take place. This is why FAST believes that skill, experience and professional outlook of a company are measured by the degree of accuracy which the system engineering phase is conducted with. That accuracy must cover the functionalities created, the solutions adopted and the project deadlines. Thus, complete and satisfactory creation of the functions required, applications that are available and operative at the required time, reliability, updates to suit the most widely used and innovative standards are absolutely vital goals and form the guidelines with which FAST Engineering Services Office, in total synergy with the production departments, accomplish the following tasks: Electrical-instrumentation engineering Design of process control hardware and software structures Design of control and power electrical panels Design of industrial electrical installations On the basis of documentation supplied by the Customer (Basic Engineering), including P&ld, Control Narratives, Instrument Lists and Motor Lists, FAST creates Electrical and Electrical-Instrumentation projects (Detailed Engineering): Functional design specification Control system architecture I/O list Logic diagram Cause / Effect chart ESD / F&G diagrams Mimic display sketches Loop diagram Wiring diagram for control cabinets, MCC, MV and LV Power Distribution Cabinets Cable list MV and LV distribution line Electrical project Instrument specifications Control and shut-off valve specifications
SOFTWARE The software dedicated to control, monitoring, supervision and safety of industrial processes and utility production, distribution and management services is one of the factors on which the efficiency of a factory most greatly depends: machines, systems and plants are able to provide the best performance, the highest efficiency and the least waste when the application software achieves an adequate level of precision and reliability. FAST uses architecture based on DCS, ESD, PLC, SCADA platforms to develop control, supervision and safety software for installations and machines. The FAST engineers cooperate with the Customer during all the steps of the project, from the specifications definition up to the start-up of the plant. They are able to manage all the major issues concerning industrial automation and process control, such as: Production processes Raw materials processing Batch processes Handling Automation of machines and production lines Axis control Communications Safety HMI Data acquisition SYSTEMS USED DCS Emerson DeltaV ABB AC800M, AC800F, Freelance, DCI System Six Yokogawa Centum CS 3000 Siemens PCS7 Honeywell Experion PLC Siemens S7-300, S7-400 General Electric PAC8000, Rx3i, Rx7i, 90-30, 90-70 Rockwell ControlLogix, SLC500 Schneider Modicon Quantum, Modicon Premium Omron CJ1, CJ2, CS1 Saia PCD2, PCD4 Beckhoff TwinCAT ESD Hima HIMax, HIQuad, HIMatrix Emerson DeltaV SIS ABB Plantguard (ICS Triplex) Siemens S7-300F, S7-400F SCADA Siemens WinCC Wonderware Intouch General Electric Cimplicity, ifix Schneider Citect Rockwell RSView, FactoryTalk Progea Movicon Fast Plant View
