Conceptual Design & Feasibility Studies

Help is sometimes needed to identify and justify the right projects to achieve your operational and business goals.

Control Associates and its partner Emerson with their a global network of consultants, solutions architects, engineers and service providers, are the partners of choice for companies seeking to digitally transform and connect their operations.

A key goal of Conceptual Design & Feasibility Studies is to analyze and define how digital automation solutions can impact specific plant economics. From the analysis, our consultants identify the necessary projects and their justification. We also establish a preliminary plan including scope of work and functional specifications to provide a well-defined starting point for evaluating project viability. Deliverables include:

Project justification: Analysis of the economic impact of the digital automation solutions under consideration and provide a return-on-investment ROI project justification.
Collaboration with digital process automation experts: Control Associates and Emerson consultants draw from the best technologies and services to architect automation solutions that meet your specific operational and business objectives.
