Electrical Design & Instrumentation (E&I)
Industrial automation cannot exist without instrumentation and control elements. They are the first and last, physical link to your process. In engineering fields like Functional Safety and Explosion Safety, Instumentation needs to meet specific criteria to play a reliable part in your overall plant safety. In the domain of digitalization they are your source of truth. Needless to say that proper selection, design of instrumentation and control elements is vital. As an independent specialist, we provide customized engineering services for instrumentation and control systems with a high degree of implementation know-how, – from consultation and conceptual design (selection of instrumentation) through all design phases to construction management and commissioning. PA Solutions supports you through every kind of project: debottlenecking, safety, migration or mixed project. Maintenance engineering is not unknown to us. To engineer with quality and according to standards, the use of CAE- / CAD Tools is a necessity. Electrical design starts from the high voltage transformer or MCC panel until the connection of the selected instruments and control elements. We can support you and engineer for you in all the different aspects of this scope. Cable calculations, defining cable routing, cable selections, panel design, heat calculation, support with as builts, ... all these items can be supplied by Process Automation Solutions. Process Automation Solutions have built up experience with several tools that can be used to execute a project. Smart Plant Instrumentation, Eplan, ProPanel, Prodok, Autocad, Caneco, ... we have the trained specialist in our company to support you. From the very early project stages, we bring our implementation know-how and more than 30 years of experience to bear.
Industrial Safety – Explosion Safety
PA Solutions offers in-depth risk analysis and engineering solutions to obtain the best-fit solutions for our customers within the field of explosion safety. As a striver for a safe working environment, PA Solutions forms a partner with the customers to create the required Explosion Protection Document with corresponding hazardous area classification and hazardous area classification drawings. Through this journey, PA Solutions is always looking for increased safety by the implementation of simple items such as training of employees, well defined procedures and simple engineering solutions. This to obtain a workplace which is as safe as possible in the field of explosion safety with the available tools of our customers. Furthermore, PA Solutions created their own Explosion Safety Lifecycle which starts from risk analysis to the implementation of measures to reduce the risk of explosions to end with the decommissioning of these measures. From the very early design stages, we bring our engineering know-how and more than 30 years of experience to bear.

We take pride in our customer-focused approach and our ability to deliver successful validation projects to clients across various industries. We stay up-to-date with the latest guidelines and standards to ensure that your systems comply with regulatory requirements.
Industrial Safety - Machine Safety
When reducing risks by means of guards, as well as when designing emergency stops, safety functions must be defined and reliability calculations must be made for those functions, whereby 2 standards can be applied: - EN IEC 62061 (SIL) - EN ISO 13849-1 (PL) PA Solutions helps you through a management system, the “machine safety lifecycle” to define, design, calculate and implement these functions. Afterwards, a validation plan is also defined to evaluate the design according to the safety specifications.
Industrial Safety - Procesveiligheid
Process safety is of paramount importance to all companies, especially in the process sector. By applying the IEC 61511 standard, your organization can identify security risks that can cause irreversible damage to the company and the people who work there. Applying IEC 61511 is essential for identifying the most important safety issues in the factory environment so that your team can properly address and minimize these issues. The standard provides a structured approach to safety: the Functional Safety Lifecycle. The process of achieving and maintaining safety is divided here into phases and stages. As an IEC 61511 certified system integrator, PA Solutions is proud to be your partner in the realization of process safety.
Operator of the Future
Process Automation Solutions provides engineering and consultancy services in high performance HMI display design to create situational awareness in guiding console operators to what really matters during daily operations and moreover during process upsets. The goal of process visualization through any type of interface is empowering the console operator to monitor and control the process. Unfortunately process displays are many times a copy of a P&ID, designed as a training platform and a highly animated and colorful equipment demonstration that focusses on data instead of information. This results in distraction, especially during mitigating abnormal situations, resulting in a negative impact on ergonomics, plant production, product quality, process performance and safety. Process Automation Solutions provides high performance HMI display design services in compliance with the ISA101 HMI standard and through a pragmatic approach, in close cooperation with the end users and in line with the company culture. Our consultants add value by deep understanding of process specific technology in combination with expertise in human centered design.

Alarm Management
Alarm systems represent an essential component of the process control system and deliver key information to the HMI. The purpose of effective alarming is creating situational awareness and direct the console operator toward those conditions which require timely action. Unstructured use of alarms adds confusion to the console operator during normal and upset conditions. Unfortunately, the capabilities of digital control systems have encouraged a proliferation of alarm settings without attention for the impact on the console operators during abnormal situations, resulting in a negative impact on ergonomics, plant production, product quality, process performance and safety. In compliance with alarm management standards and best practices such as ISA-18.2, IEC62682 and EEMUA 191 Process Automation Solutions addresses all aspects of the alarm management lifecycle in a pragmatic way and in close cooperation with all stakeholders (from operator to manager). Value is added by deep understanding of the drivers in alarm management and the customer’s pains.
