GECE

GECE is A deterministic, I/O Scope rule-based logic engine for ICSS High-Fidelity Bidding. (Parametric – Bottom-Up Engineering).

It all starts with an I/O count has been my mantra for estimating automation systems over the last nearly 40 years –from Provox systems at Fisher Controls Leicester, through INFI 90 systems at Elsag Bailey Telford to PCS 7 systems to EcoStruxure by Schneider Electric.

These days we all have a laptop, iPad and smart phone and the BOM is generated after feeding I/O counts into an on-line web system configurator which will also produce a price and architecture drawing.

“A high-fidelity coupled-model logic engine purpose-built for the Industrial Automation and Process Control sectors. GECE manages over 56,367 calculation nodes and 8,997 named ranges to deliver 1:1 deterministic parity for complex DCS, SIS/ESD, and PLC cost modeling.”

The Problem to Solve: GECE solves the Engineering Labor & Financial Modeling gap

• Dynamic I/O Counting: Accounts for different system types, complexity, and integration needs.
• Loop Complexity Modeling: Incorporates the intricacy of control loops into estimations.
• Cabinet/Interface Configurations: Considers physical infrastructure requirements.
• Configurable Logic, Protocols, and Integration: Adapts to scalable, mixed-system projects.
• Structured Estimation Framework: Utilizes named-range databases and form-driven data input.
• Dynamic Calculation Logic: Estimates engineering hours and costs at both line-item and summary levels.
