Engineering services

Software development & Systems Engineering.

From a custom application to the systems running your plant, DSI brings software and engineering experience to the work you need done.

We design, build, integrate, and support new and existing systems for manufacturing and life sciences.

Custom applications

Some processes need software built around the way they work. We develop applications of different sizes, from a focused tool for a single workflow to software that connects information across your operation.

Our work spans web and Windows applications, .NET development, and APIs that help existing systems exchange data.

We pair dependable, rules-based software with integrated AI where it helps people work. Teams can ask questions of their data, find relevant context, and use AI within the workflows they already know.

Development

.NET · Web & Windows · REST APIs

Web applications: Browser-based tools for operational workflows, data entry, and access to system information.
Windows applications: Desktop applications for the tasks and systems your team works with every day.
APIs & integration: Interfaces that connect applications and make information available where it is needed.
Integrated AI: AI capabilities that help teams explore their data and work alongside the software they rely on.

Plant system
integration

Control systems, operator interfaces, business applications, and plant data all have a part to play. We help them work together.

DSI designs, builds, and supports automation systems across both modern and legacy environments. Our scope includes hardware selection and panel design, PLC logic, HMI configuration, and the connections between your controls and software.

We also support Emerson’s DeltaV Real-Time Scheduling (RTS), helping teams work with the scheduling system already in place.

Working with an existing installation? Our experience includes supporting and extending established control systems.

Operational data

Bring plant information into the tools your team uses to understand what is happening. We develop and support historians, databases, dashboards, and reporting systems.

PI systems & historians

Development and support for PI-based systems, connecting your team with the plant information needed for operational review.

We work with existing historian environments and the applications that use their data.

Systems

AVEVA PI / OSI PI · OPC · Data interfaces

Databases & reporting

Data views, reports, and dashboards that make operational information easier to find and use.

Our work includes SQL and NoSQL databases, reporting pipelines, Crystal Reports, and SQL Server Reporting Services.

Tools

SQL & NoSQL · Crystal Reports · SSRS

Implementation
& ongoing support

Getting a system into use takes configuration, commissioning, and careful testing. Keeping it useful takes continued support.

We work with your team through implementation and with the applications and systems already in place, including support for validation activities in manufacturing and pharmaceutical environments.

Configuration & commissioning: Set up software and control systems, connect the components, and bring the installation into operation.
Testing & validation support: Support testing and validation activities as part of the project’s implementation requirements.
Application & systems support: Maintain and support the software, controls, and PI-based systems your operation depends on.
