How would you say it in French? (I'm trying to recall high school French here, so be kind ;-)
I think english "a" is like French "un" or "une" -- so translating "on a same system" literally
(using my flawed French), does "en un même système" sound right to you?
It doesn't to me, unless même has a sense of pareil used that way.
Maybe "en utilisant le même système" ? (note le/the -- not un/a)
