dad is a software solution for the engineering and management of
complex systems

Create a model of your complex systems in dad and use it to streamline the engineering and management processes through the entire lifecycle.

Are you ready for a change?

A model in dad is a centralised database of systems information. Engineers, managers and other stakeholders can access the model from any location, at any time.

…a revolution in how work is done…

Chris Sheedy, Engineers Australia magazine

…by using dad we executed… with higher accuracy than we’d ever seen before.

Adam Ritchie, North Star – EI&C Manager, Fortescue

When compared to using traditional methods for a communications system design, we’ve been able to deliver five times as much work in three-quarters the amount of time using dad!

Trevor Gross, Engineering Manager, Communications and Operational Technology, SYSTRA

The benefits simply cannot be ignored.

Richard Archer, Principal Electrical Engineer, Energy, AECOM NZ

…a hugely powerful tool that has allowed us to manage a large amount of information at many levels of detail.

Jason Salt, Communications Engineering Manager, Public Transport Authority of Western Australia

…like going from a horse and cart to a Formula One race car.

Eugene Leong, Lead Electrical Engineer, North Star project, Fortescue

…a single source of truth for the business, which is not only accurate and reliable, but straightforward to use by our stakeholders.

A model in dad is a true representation of the complex system at any point in the lifecycle. It's a real digital twin.

We support change leaders across the world to transform the ways in which they design and run the complex systems at the heart of their assets.

For over 20 years, companies including Siemens, Hitachi, Fortescue, Honeywell, AtkinsRéalis, Opticomm and Main Roads of Western Australia have used dad for their complex systems.

One centralised digital model of all systems information accessible to everyone.

A model in dad is a centralised database containing all current and historical hardware and software information about the system. It can be accessed simultaneously by engineers, managers and other stakeholders from any location, at any time.

New and existing systems can be modelled in dad.

dad can be introduced at any point in the lifecycle. The model is then used to manage the systems through future phases of their lifecycle. dad is used to engineer and manage complex systems in many different industries.

Reduce cost and time, while also reducing risk.

dad is proven to reduce the cost and time to engineer and manage complex systems by more than 90%.

A model in dad is a repository of change management information which facilitates effective and efficient auditing activities. This transparency helps our clients achieve huge gains in design accuracy and overall productivity.

Future-proof complex systems.

When you engineer complex systems using dad, the software and hardware information about all objects, their connections and relationships is centralised and digital. A model in dad ensures the relevance and functionality of the systems information into the future.
