Design & Engineering Services Offering
CSI’s Design & Engineering services transform conceptual automation goals into fully engineered, standards-based solutions ready for deployment. We bridge the gap between visionary system design and practical implementation — applying Open Process Automation (OPA) principles, rigorous engineering standards, and decades of experience in control system design across industries such as chemicals, refining, cement, and life sciences.
