Commissioning your automation system

The commissioning phase is critical to the success of your automation system. Once the system is installed, we ensure it functions as intended and integrates smoothly with your business operations. Our commissioning process includes:

 

  • Detailed testing: Before your system goes live, our experienced engineers conduct thorough testing protocols. This involves checking each component to ensure it operates correctly and integrates seamlessly with the rest of the system.

 

  • Stress testing: We subject the system to rigorous stress tests to evaluate its performance under maximum load conditions. This helps identify any potential weaknesses or failure points that need to be addressed.

 

  • Simulation exercises: By simulating real-world operating conditions, we can observe how the system performs during typical operations. This allows us to fine-tune the system for optimal performance and reliability.

 

  • Identifying and resolving issues: During the commissioning phase, any issues that arise are promptly addressed. This proactive approach minimises the risk of disruptions once the system is operational.

 

Training and support

We also provide comprehensive training for your workforce, ensuring they understand how to use the system correctly and efficiently. Proper training maximizes the benefits of your new system and extends its lifespan.

 

Ongoing maintenance

After the system is commissioned and operational, we offer a range of maintenance and service contracts to keep it running smoothly. Our ConveyorCare program focuses on Preventative Planned Maintenance (PPM) to detect and address potential issues before they cause disruptions.
