From design to installed condition
Installation changes must reach the as-built documents. Survey or spatial data help verify geometry, but do not by themselves confirm equipment function or the completeness of hidden components.
PROJECTEnquire ↗Information for design, installation and operation
Drawings, instrument tags and operating documents should describe the same asset. Connected documentation supports changes, maintenance and the handover of process equipment.
Operating context
The foundation is consistent identification, a document register and revision control. Datasheets can be linked to diagrams, drawings, material lists and inspection records. The scope of a digital model follows the customer’s intended use during the project and subsequent operation.
Engineering priorities
Installation changes must reach the as-built documents. Survey or spatial data help verify geometry, but do not by themselves confirm equipment function or the completeness of hidden components.
An equipment record can connect its tag, parameters, supplier, documents and revisions. When a component changes, affected drawings and settings must be identifiable, together with approval of the new version.
A folder of unidentified files is not a finished deliverable. Structure, formats, search, access rights and responsibility for updates are agreed in advance. Operating data and simulations are additional layers requiring their own design.
For assembly-station design, we coordinate the transfer of product models, datums, variants and joint requirements. Geometry changes feed into fixtures, tool access and process planning. Responsibility for product design and change approval remains defined between the project participants.
Our mechanical design team develops 3D models and engineering drawings in Siemens Solid Edge. Electrical designers prepare circuit diagrams, switchboard documentation and equipment interconnections. We use TPV2000 for production preparation, bills of materials and manufacturing routes, with additional specialist software selected for the discipline.
Before engineering
Agreed with the proposal
The actual scope and acceptance criteria depend on the application and contract.
Selection in context
Acceptance testing, calibration, statutory inspection and conformity assessment serve different purposes, so agree their scope and expected documents before supply.
On a small screen, scroll the table sideways to compare the selection criteria.
| Principle or option | Typical application | What to agree and which output to expect |
|---|---|---|
| FAT: factory acceptance test | Verification of agreed functions and requirements before shipment, for example for a control system or assembly. | Approved procedure, criteria and simulated interfaces; the output records results, deviations and open items within the tested scope.[1] |
| SAT: site acceptance test | Verification after installation, considering actual connections and agreed operating conditions. | Site and utility readiness, interfaces and criteria; the output is a site test record and a list of outstanding actions.[1] |
| Calibration | Establishing the relationship between instrument indication and reference values under specified conditions. | Measurement points, traceability and uncertainty; the output reports calibration results, not adjustment or an automatic pass/fail decision.[2] |
| Statutory inspection, e.g. electrical equipment in Czechia | Assessment of equipment safety within the scope of applicable requirements. | Equipment type and extent, documentation and inspector qualification; the output is an inspection report with findings and a conclusion on the inspected condition.[3] |
| Product conformity assessment | Demonstrating compliance with applicable legal requirements before placing a product on the market or putting it into service. | Applicable legislation and procedure; the manufacturer prepares technical documentation and the relevant declaration, with notified-body involvement where the required procedure calls for it.[4] |
Reviewed on 18 October 2026. Selection is confirmed for the specific operating conditions and equipment design.

Before we start
Geometry alone does not describe operation. The required information, relationships and any data updates must be defined as part of the solution.
Not necessarily. Engineering can build on the existing structure and add missing links, formats or revision visibility instead of replacing the whole system.
