Integrating Standard Products into Custom Solutions

Since 1977, Systems Integrated (SI) has been in the forefront of technology delivering solutions that put our customers in control. Our experience spans a wide range of industries including - electric utilities, water/wastewater utilities, and communications.

By focusing on solving complex problems across diverse areas of application, we have gained the knowledge and proven abilities to assess our customers’ needs and choose from the broadest assortment of technical options, to derive the most effective solution. SI is accustomed to projects that require various generations of existing equipment to be integrated with the new technologies. We know how to take disparate pieces, fit them together, optimize performance and deliver a seamless, maintainable system that provides growth without disruption.

Throughout the various stages of a project, SI has the capability to support our customer’s objectives - from strategic planning in engineering, to field installation with construction, acceptance testing and customer training - whatever resources are needed, SI can apply to ensure a successful outcome.

SI has performed projects across the United States and internationally throughout Asia and Latin America. Project size runs the gamut from small, single site or pilot projects to large scale, covering thousands of points over miles of area. SI’s operations in Orange and San Diego Counties are the bases for administration, sales, engineering, manufacturing, testing and customer training.

Understanding a problem, with its inherent factors and the desired result, is SI’s starting point on each project. SI works closely with the customer’s team to gain a detailed knowledge of their operational environment, as well as to understand their desired objective for the new system. SI performs site visits; investigates the current system with the operators and engineers; performs simulation testing and any other necessary activity to effect the successful outcome of the system.

Designing a solution that works requires creativity and experience. SI engineers have years of experience developing systems that will achieve sustained benefits for our customer. We evaluate hardware, software and communications for the system, taking into consideration long term supportability; reliable and proven technology; security; expandability, and user-friendly operation. Reliable and secure network communications is critical to the operations of the control system. SI has the experience developing LAN & WAN infrastructures using a variety of media such as fiber optic; licensed & non-licensed radio communications, and satellite to provide a secure communications infrastructure.

Building a system engineered by seasoned and experienced system designers guarantees success. SI builds on a foundation of standard software and hardware products in the implementation of our solutions. Forethought about the equipment layout and future field constructability during this stage provides SI with the ability to rapidly deploy the system at the project site: resulting in a working system delivered on time and in-budget.

Integration without chaos. Whether working with existing equipment or building a new system to improve operations, we focus on achieving maximum throughput and optimal linkage across all system elements without disruption to the 24/7 operations. SI’s mechanical, electrical and software engineers work together to perform the integration that transforms the design into the operational system. Each part is built and tested to functional standards to which all components, nodes and/or operating systems must comply. Important factors in our evaluation include ease of use; reliability of system architecture (in context to the data load and area size); use of standard protocol and I/O schemes; readily available parts; and long term maintainability. The result is an integrated working solution.

Testing occurs during all phases of the project – building, factory acceptance, field deployment, and through the final, complete system installation. Customer’s actual operational metrics are used to ensure full performance prior to installation at the customer’s location. For example - testing a substation automation system consisting of SCADA (SI’s OnSITE® product), relay protection gear and communications/control equipment may include fault condition extremes, response time extremes, operator back-up/control operations and emergency procedural actions.

Solutions that exceed expectations and provide a growth path for the future, is what Systems Integrated delivers.
