Engineering-led, from first assessment to operational support

XF Solutions is a UK industrial automation and engineering business as well as the developer of the XF App Suite. We bring hands-on experience of hazardous area engineering, the IEC 60079 series, intrinsically safe loop verification and industrial control systems to every engagement, and we can deliver the records and evidence in the suite as we go.

Services

S-01

Hazardous area engineering

Support with ATEX and IECEx work to the IEC 60079 series, including equipment selection, inspection regimes and intrinsically safe loop verification.

S-02

Process and functional safety support

Support with safety requirements specifications, LOPA and SIL work, alongside the suite's HAZOP, LOPA and safety function records.

S-03

Industrial automation and control systems

Design, configuration and delivery of robust, safe and maintainable control systems.

S-04

Electrical and controls installation

Installation of control panels, field instrumentation, cabling and terminations, including work in hazardous areas, with as-installed records ready for handover.

S-05

Legacy PLC migration and upgrades

Planning and delivering low-risk migrations from legacy control systems to modern, supported platforms.

S-06

Engineering reviews and operational assurance

Independent review, verification and problem solving to reduce operational risk.

S-07

Testing and commissioning readiness

FAT and SAT, site verification and I/O validation for a safe, controlled start-up.

S-08

Data onboarding and cleansing

Bringing your existing registers into the XF App Suite: imported records are held out of analytics until we have cleansed and verified them.

S-09

Configuration and implementation

Setting up sites, roles, workflows, templates and your own apps so the suite fits the way you work.

Engagements are defined by project scope. Regulated or certifying activities require separate confirmation before work starts.

How we work

  1. Talk it through. Tell us the site, the problem and the deadline.
  2. Scope. We agree the deliverables, the standards that apply and who signs off what.
  3. Deliver. Engineering work on site or remotely, with records held in the XF App Suite where that helps.
  4. Hand over. Reports, registers and actions you can keep using after we finish.
