DatumProof equipment design platform
An equipment project writes the same facts again and again — into the I/O list, the BOM, the wiring, the interlocks, the start-up procedure. Every copy is a chance to disagree, and the disagreements surface on site. The DatumProof platform keeps the design of the machine in one place and produces all of it from there. Change the design once, and everything follows.
What changes
The I/O list and the BOM are settled while the machine is still a drawing, so control design runs alongside mechanical assembly instead of after it. The wait drops out of the schedule, and the people wiring the machine and the people programming it work from the same table.
What you get
I/O list, BOM, communication map and power distribution table — ready for your electrical CAD
Which operations are allowed in which state of the machine is written down as tables the whole team can read and review, instead of being buried in program code or carried in a veteran’s head. When people move on, the rules stay.
What you get
State interlock tables and a cause-and-effect matrix
The start-up procedure comes from the same design as the wiring and the interlocks, so nothing is rewritten by hand for each machine and the checks run in the right order — protecting the machine on the day it first powers up.
What you get
Power-up checklist, I/O checkout sheet and interlock test scenarios
A first FMEA draft comes out of the design itself, so your engineers spend their time judging the risks rather than listing them — and the review happens while the design can still change cheaply.
What you get
An FMEA draft for your engineers to review and complete
Interlock violations, deadlocks and timeouts in the control sequence are found while the machine is still a design — each with the exact steps that cause it, ready to take into a design review instead of onto a customer’s floor.
What you get
The problems found, each with the steps that lead to it
What you keep
The platform does not replace your electrical CAD or the way your programs are written. It feeds them: lists your electrical CAD imports, tables your control design works from. Your team keeps its tools and its habits, and loses the copying.
And it is proven on real machines before it reaches yours: we design our own equipment on it. Equipment design →
Assumptions and scope
Wiring as built, assembly and the physical response of the machine still need it.
Emergency stop, safety doors and hard limits stay with hardwired circuits or a safety PLC.
Where something could not be checked, the platform says so rather than guessing.
The early-adoption program runs the platform on one machine of yours, on a real project.
