What is SDLC?

The Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) is a structured, cost-effective process for designing and building high-quality software systems. Originally used in game and web development, SDLC is now essential in automation to minimize risks and ensure software meets your expectations during production and beyond. We employ Agile methodology with regular sprint targets to keep projects aligned with your goals.

  • Requirement Analysis: Gathering and analyzing system needs, including inputs, outputs, sensors, actuators, and safety requirements.
  • Planning: Defining scope, budget, timeline, and resources, while selecting the best PLC hardware and software platforms.
  • Software Design: Creating detailed designs using flowcharts, pseudocode, and state diagrams, defining data structures and subroutines.
Electrical Design Assessment

Application Assessment

In today’s safety-conscious manufacturing landscape, thorough system assessment is critical. JCBTech offers HAZOP and FMEA methodologies to deliver designs that meet the highest standards of safety and performance.

  • HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study): A systematic technique to identify hazards and operability issues by analyzing deviations in system parameters like flow, temperature, and pressure.
  • FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis): A proactive approach to pinpoint mechanical, electrical, and software weaknesses, prioritizing actions to prevent failures.
Standardized Programming

Knowledge Base and Standardization

Effective design requires a clear methodology for long-term support. Whether you need remote service, in-house maintenance, or third-party support, we ensure scalability and future-proofing by adhering to IEC 61131-3 standards. This globally recognized standard eliminates hidden or unsupportable code, allowing any competent programmer to understand and maintain your system.

With increasing software complexity in automation, IEC 61131-3 reduces labor costs and maintenance time, ensuring your project remains efficient and adaptable.
