Commissioning

Commissioning on site, and support for teams commissioning our software themselves. More than ten years of it, in plants in nine countries.

On-site commissioning

Start-up of a new machine, support through customer acceptance, production ramp-up, and the period afterwards when the first real faults appear. On our own programs, or on software written by others.

Much of our reference list was commissioned this way — seat lines, body shops, injection moulding halls, bonding cells and press lines across Slovakia, Czechia, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal, England and Morocco. Quoted per day plus travel.

• Machine start-up, I/O checks, drive and axis commissioning, sequence bring-up
• Robot teaching, calibration and cycle-time optimisation on the real cell
• Safety validation and the documentation an acceptance requires
• Support through customer acceptance and production ramp-up
• Operator and maintenance training, with the documentation that goes with it

Remote support during your commissioning

Where the client's own team is on the machine, we can remain available on VPN with the project open for an agreed number of days, so that a question about a sequence or a small program change can be dealt with quickly. It is normally arranged alongside an offline package.

Troubleshooting and retrofits

• Fault diagnosis on machines built by someone else, including undocumented legacy programs
• Control system retrofits: S7-300 and S7-400 lines migrated to current hardware
• Cycle time optimisation on cells that run but do not hit their number
• Program clean-up and documentation of machines that were commissioned in a hurry
• Second opinion and code review before a customer acceptance
