What is the role of commissioning?

Commissioning serves to ensure and document the functional readiness of the technical product vis-à-vis the customer in the company's own factory (FAT) or at the customer's national/international site (SAT). Plants and larger machines are usually commissioned once for test purposes in our own production, then shipped, installed at the customer's site and finally commissioned there.

Operations1 contributes to an improvement in costs and thus also to our competitiveness.

Frequently asked questions about: Digital commissioning protocols

  • What are typical challenges in commissioning?

    Paper-based commissioning typically has three key challenges: a high level of document handling and information provision, a delay in commissioning due to non-value-added activities, and low traceability and transparency.

  • What are the key steps of comissioning a machine?

    The key steps of commissioning a machine (also known as "start-up") are:

    1. Installation: This involves physically setting up the machine and connecting it to the necessary power and utility supplies.

    2. Function testing: The machine is tested for functionality and performance to ensure that it meets specifications and is operating as intended.

    3. Quality testing: The quality of the machine is checked to ensure that it meets requirements and produces the desired quality output.

    4. Training: Operators and maintenance personnel are trained in the proper use and maintenance of the machine.

    5. Documentation: All relevant documentation, such as operating manuals and maintenance records, is provided and reviewed to ensure that the machine is properly understood and maintained.

    Overall, commissioning a machine involves all the steps necessary to ensure that a machine is properly installed, tested, and ready for operation.

  • What is important to consider when commissioning a machine?

    There are several important factors to consider when commissioning a machine:

    1. Safety: Ensuring that the machine is safe to operate should be a top priority during the commissioning process. This can include conducting safety checks and tests, as well as training operators on how to safely use the machine.

    2. Performance: The machine's performance should be thoroughly tested and verified to ensure that it meets all specifications and is operating correctly. This can include testing the machine's mechanical and electrical systems, as well as any software or control systems that are part of the machine.

    3. Quality: The quality of the machine's output should be checked and verified to ensure that it meets all required standards. This can include conducting quality checks and tests on the machine's output.

    4. Maintenance: The machine's maintenance requirements should be identified and documented during the commissioning process. This can include creating a maintenance schedule and establishing procedures for servicing and maintaining the machine.

    5. Training: It is important to provide thorough training to operators and maintenance personnel on how to safely and effectively use and maintain the machine. This can include both theoretical and practical training.

    6. Documentation: All relevant documentation, such as operating manuals and maintenance records, should be provided and reviewed during the commissioning process. This can help ensure that the machine is properly understood and maintained over its lifespan.

    Overall, it is important to thoroughly test and verify the machine's performance, ensure that it meets all required safety and quality standards, establish maintenance procedures, provide training to operators and maintenance personnel, and provide relevant documentation during the commissioning process.

  • Why is commissioning a machine before delivery so important?

    Commissioning a machine before delivery is important because it helps ensure that the machine is properly installed, tested, and ready for operation upon arrival at the customer's site. This can help minimize downtime and ensure that the machine is able to perform as intended from the start.

    During the commissioning process, the machine is typically checked and tested to ensure that it is operating correctly and meets all specifications. This can include testing the machine's mechanical and electrical systems, as well as any software or control systems that are part of the machine.

    By commissioning the machine before delivery, any issues or problems that are discovered can be addressed and corrected before the machine is delivered to the customer. This can help ensure that the machine is fully operational and ready for use upon arrival at the customer's site, which can help reduce downtime and improve overall efficiency.

    Overall, commissioning a machine before delivery is an important step in the manufacturing process that helps ensure that the machine is fully operational and ready for use upon arrival at the customer's site.

  • Why should you work with digital checklists in commissioning?

    There are several reasons why it can be beneficial to work with digital checklists in commissioning:

    1. Increased efficiency: Digital checklists can help streamline the commissioning process by providing a clear and organized overview of all tasks that need to be completed. This can help reduce the risk of errors and ensure that all tasks are completed in a timely and efficient manner.

    2. Improved accuracy: Digital checklists allow for more accurate tracking and documentation of tasks, as they can be easily updated and amended as needed. This can help ensure that all tasks are completed as intended and reduce the risk of mistakes.

    3. Enhanced collaboration: Digital checklists can be accessed and edited by multiple team members, which can facilitate collaboration and communication during the commissioning process.

    4. Increased visibility: Digital checklists provide a clear overview of the progress of the commissioning process, which can help managers and other stakeholders stay informed and up-to-date on the status of the project.

    5. Enhanced data management: Digital checklists can be easily stored and accessed, which can help improve the management and organization of commissioning data.

    Overall, using digital checklists in commissioning can help increase efficiency, accuracy, collaboration, visibility, and data management, making the commissioning process more streamlined and effective.
