Knowing what you want to automate or how it is supposed to work is one thing, putting all pieces of the puzzle together and having design specs, work documents, etc. which can be handed over to software engineers for implementation is another...
Wouldn't it be nice if all the hard work put into the realisation of the project actually resulted in a product conform to the original goals and users wishes ? Might be opportune to test/document that : FAT, SAT, GMP documentation,.....
Who can you trust to take the lead in the realisation and/or do the actual programming of PLC's, PC's, controllers,... Hmm, who do we have that knows the analysis inside-out ?
