Manufacturing / Industrial EngineeringThroughout our history, Design Systems Canada Ltd. has been faced with challenging projects where product and process complexity have required creative, flexible engineering solutions.

PROCESS DRIVEN DESIGN APPROACHIn all cases a process driven design approach analyzes unique and common processes, along with product complexity and options, to develop the most cost effective manufacturing process that contains the right value-added mix of automation.

■ Facility Planning and Design ■ Manufacturing Process Development■ Lean Manufacturing■ Program Planning and Scheduling■ Material Flow Management and Engineering■ Containerization / Rack Design ■ Process Quality Improvements■ Work Station Design / Station Readiness■ Supply Chain Logistics■ Labor Studies■ Assembly Processing■ World Class Manufacturing (WCM)

Simulation EngineeringPOWERFUL COST AND TIME-SAVING TOOLComplexity and flexibility continue to be the norm for projects at Design Systems Canada Ltd. To reduce overall program costs and ensure throughput demands are met, Design Systems Canada Ltd. utilizes Simulation Engineering. Simulation is one of the most powerful cost and time savings tool available, allowing complex systems to be tested and evaluated prior to any fabrication or installation.

Utilizing simulation solutions including AutoMod, FlexSim, SIMUL8, and Witness, Design Systems Canada Ltd. will assist in design verification, system optimization, identifying bottlenecks, performing “what if” experiments, and your systems sensitivity to product or production rate changes.

Canada - Ontario RegulationsSAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITYDesign Systems Canada is registered with and has a Certificate of Authorization from the Professional Engineers Association of Ontario. DSC will ensure that your machinery, equipment, processes and systems are safe prior to start up and commissioning.

Laser Scanning and Digital DesignVIRTUAL FACILITY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Design Systems Canada Ltd.’s Scanning and Virtual Engineering team have really made an impact. A service that helps customers reduce project costs and shorten the overall project schedule will tend to get noticed. With Design Systems Canada Ltd.’s three decades of experience providing manufacturing engineering services, this new tool has been a game-changer. The speed, accuracy, and amount of data collected is unmatched by any other technology.

Laser scanning is being used to capture site and facility conditions while providing a means to design inside a virtual environment. Envision the usefulness of having your entire facility available to you at your desktop in eye-popping high-definition resolution. The ability to “travel” to any point in a facility and review what is there – and even take instantaneous measurements is invaluable for our customers. No more return trips to field check something you missed. Virtually walk through a project scope with suppliers during the bid process. Scanning provides real life data that can be used by multiple engineering disciplines providing cohesion to your projects and their deliverables.
