I&C Engineering (EMSR)
Basic and detailed engineering in instrumentation and control — CAE-based with Engineering Base, EPLAN and COMOS. For greenfield projects, modernizations and revamps.
Request consultationWhat is I&C engineering?
What is it?
I&C (or EMSR, the German acronym for electrical, measurement, control & regulation) engineering covers the full technical planning and design of a plant's automation and process control systems. It bridges process engineering and electrical engineering and is critical to the functionality, safety, and efficiency of the overall process.
Why does it matter?
Professional I&C engineering ensures all components are optimally matched, legal and normative requirements are met, and the plant runs economically. It is the basis for smooth installation, commissioning, and maintenance.
Your advantage with IOTECH
IOTECH has many years of I&C engineering experience; 80% of our engineers have a vocational background, giving us a hands-on planning approach that combines technical feasibility with economic considerations. We work consistently with database-driven, modern CAE systems — including Engineering Base (EB) from Aucotec — for collaborative planning on a shared platform.
Our I&C engineering services
Core areas for comprehensive I&C engineering services.
Collaborative planning with Engineering Base
Our I&C engineers work in Engineering Base (EB) by Aucotec on schematics, terminal planning, instrument diagrams, signal lists, device planning, P&IDs, and project documentation.
Technical concept
Development of technical concepts and dimensioning of I&C systems based on process flow diagrams and process requirements.
Cost estimation and project calculation
Detailed cost estimates for I&C equipment, engineering effort, and project execution for better planning certainty.
Equipment specification
Creation of detailed technical specifications for measuring devices, actuators, control systems, and other I&C components.
Bills of quantities
Structured bills of quantities for tenders and procurement in the I&C domain.
Field device communication
Planning and design of communication systems between field devices and higher-level systems (HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, PROFIBUS/PROFINET).
Additional planning services
Complementary services for holistic I&C projects.
Technical coordination
Coordination between trades and project participants to ensure smooth project execution.
Automation concepts
Tailored automation strategies and architectures for optimal process control and monitoring.
Requirements & functional specs
Detailed requirement and functional specifications as the basis for tenders and contract negotiations.
Interface planning
Detailed planning of all technical interfaces between I&C systems and adjacent plant sections.
Standards & guidelines
Our planning meets the highest quality and regulatory standards.
- DIN EN 81346 (structuring principles and reference designations)
- DIN EN 62424 (representation of I&C tasks in P&IDs)
- NAMUR recommendations (e.g. NE 35, NE 53)
- Requirements from IEC 61511 (functional safety) and EN 60079 (explosion protection)
