System analysis and design

A foundation for your products
  • Building the systems architecture to fulfill stakeholder stakeholder needs efficiently
  • Ensuring the correct system is built to match customer needs at every step of the journey by exercising continuous validation
  • Facilitating reuse in the product development lifecycle
Experts in keeping it simple
  • Ensure that the customer needs drive the architecture development; from problem analysis to solution description
  • Modelling systems cost-effectively
Securing the organisations assets
  • Capturing and coding company knowledge in graphical models  
Proven track record

Experience in model based solutions for:

  • Rail (e.g.: Passenger information)
  • Automotive (e.g.: Drive, Energy, Body, Chassis, Driver Assistance and Infotainment Systems)
  • Energy Systems (e.g.: HVAC, Generating and Charging Systems)
  • Marine (e.g.: antenna systems, autopilot, describing domain knowledge)
  • Telecommunications (e.g.: security, car-2-car communications, routing )
  • Providing a sound basis for technology development in startup companies  (e.g.: real-time multimedia )

Safety

A working knowledge of applying rail and automotive safety standards in architecture design (e.g.: Functional Safety ISO 26262, IEC 61508 ) 

Whilst compiling to international standards, ensuring architecture views that are needed by safety officers are represented optimally to serve practical uses for safety analysis.

Coaching & Mentoring

The focus of coaching is on the empowerment of teams in the execution of a rigorous approach to systems engineering. Mentoring services are aimed at helping individual professionals achieve their goals on a one to one basis. The terms of reference for these activities may be one or more of the following:

  • Achieving a common understanding of the system under development amongst stakeholders
  • Constructing consistent system models using state-of-the-art modelling tools 
  • Ensuring that business strategy is reflected in product development
  • Making complex problems understandable and solvable despite organisational pressures
  • Facilitate innovation using strategies such as design thinking
  • Ensuring the correct system is built to match customer needs at every step of the journey by exercising continuous validation
  • Facilitating reuse in the product development lifecycle

Methods Development

The fusion of model based engineering with agile development strategies for optimal risk management

Tailored architecture to meet organisation’s needs

Spending time with the stakeholders and analysing their needs to create work products that meet the organisations needs

Facilitating innovation

To facilitate innovation and support organisations disrupted by innovation 

  • Introducing new ideas by encouraging Design Thinking
  • Developing a common language to encourage a mutual understanding and stakeholder participation
  • Visualising complex problems to create a common understanding amongst stakeholders of all disciplines and backgrounds
  • Visualising complex problems to gain a deeper understanding and shed new light

Tooling

Our experience with tools for a visual approach to model based engineering dates back to the late 1990s. For coaching, training and development services we work with well known state-of-the-art modelling tools such as:

  • IBM Rational Rhapsody
  • Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect
  • Cameo Systems Engineer

We offer developers with practical help and guidance in the adoption of tools and applying MBSE methods. Typically, our tool related services cover:

  • Model based architecture development with work products in format compatible to any of above tools
  • Meta (process) -Modelling to foster innovation strategies
  • Tool extensions for document generation
  • Custom profile development to reflect company requirements (based on OMG UML and SysML languages)
  • Tool plugin development for custom applications
  • Pattern development (recognition, capture, archiving)
