Commissioning is a crucial step in an automation project.

 

During commissioning, the proper functioning of each component, constituting equipment as a whole, must be validated. Additionally, functional validations must be performed to ensure that the system operates and responds correctly to the various events to which it may be subjected.

 

Following commissioning, some adjustments are required to facilitate production startup. Following change, it is sometime necessary to readjust the basic settings of production equipment or a process.

 

Optimization is a crucial step in achieving your production objectives. Depending on the equipment, the optimization process can vary greatly. It is the stage where meticoulous adjustments are made to achieve gains. The person performing the optimization must have a good understanding of the equipment's operation to identify the elements that need to be worked on.

 

Multidisciplinary skills are usually a basic requirement for the success of commissioning, adjustments and optimization.
