Context and issues

Guaranteeing efficient studies and controlled project interfaces

Engineering projects are deployed in increasingly complex environments with more stringent regulatory requirements, multi-domain technologies, integration constraints, safety issues and growing volumes of technical data. In this context, control over design and consistency with regard to interfaces are becoming major levers for project performance and to ensure they run smoothly.

The main challenges faced by our customers:

Ensuring the reliability of studies and dimensioning, right from the upstream phases

Ensuring consistency across business lines

Managing technical risks throughout the project life cycle

Ensuring successful industrialisation and transfer to production

Possessing clear, exhaustive and compliant technical documentation

Our approach

Our approach is based on demanding, well-equipped, performance-oriented engineering. It aims to guarantee the robustness of the studies, functional coherence and control of interfaces throughout the project cycle.

1. Management of studies based on requirements

We manage studies based on functional, regulatory and customer requirements right from the upstream phases in order to ensure design choices are sound.

2. Verifiable and robust research methods

We use proven methods to ensure the reliability of technical decisions, including calculations, simulations, technical reviews and risk analyses.

3. Overall control of integration and interfaces

We ensure consistency between systems and sub-systems and control interfaces throughout the project to reduce integration risks.

4. Digitalisation at the heart of our engineering studies

We incorporate digital technology at the heart of our studies to improve performance and traceability: digital twins, BIM, PLM and engineering based on the MBSE model.

5. Engineering tailored to each phase of the development cycle

We adapt our engineering approach to the different phases of the life cycle to guarantee continuity and efficiency, from pre-studies and design to industrialisation and operation.
