Overview
From panel build to full plant integration, we provide end-to-end test and commissioning support:
- Formal, documented FAT at our works or your site
- SAT aligned with your operational constraints and safety processes
- Controlled start-up, ramp-up and optimisation of production
- Evidence packs to demonstrate performance, safety and compliance
What We Do
Test strategy & planning – Test objectives, scope and success criteria aligned with project standards and the V-model.
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) – Off-line testing of PLC, SCADA, safety and comms; I/O simulation, sequence and fault testing; witness FAT and sign-off.
Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) – On-site verification of installation, loop and I/O checks, end-to-end functional tests and integration with existing systems.
Commissioning & start-up – Cold and hot commissioning, controlled introduction of live product/media, tuning of loops and sequences, optimisation to target performance.
Validation & handover – Test reports, punch-list management, as-commissioned documentation and operator/maintenance training.
Test strategy & planning
- Project structures aligned to your lifecycle (V-model, stage-gates, assurance needs)
- Work item types for requirements, tests, defects, risks and changes
- Defined traceability rules and reporting templates
- Customised dashboards and documents aligned to your standards
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
- Workshops and interviews across operations, engineering, safety, cyber and management
- Capture directly into Polarion as structured, testable requirements
- Classification for functional, performance, safety, security and regulatory needs
- Supporting diagrams, specs and artefacts linked to items
Structuring, Linking & Traceability
- Logical hierarchies for systems, subsystems, software and interfaces
- Links to hazards, mitigations, design elements and test plans
- Real-time tracking of coverage, completeness and impact
- Automated traceability matrices and V-model alignment
Review, Baseline & Change Control
- Online collaborative reviews with full audit history
- Requirements baselined at key milestones
- Controlled change management with impact analysis
- Auto-generated review packs, baselines and compliance reports
Integration with Design & Test
- Links between requirements, design documentation and code modules
- Test cases and results tied directly to requirements they verify
- Defect management linked to original requirement intent
- Evidence packs for FAT/SAT, safety cases and acceptance
Typical Applications
New lines, cells and process plants
Control system upgrades and migrations (PLC / SCADA / DCS)
Safety instrumented systems and machine safety upgrades
Robotics, AMR/AGV and automated material handling
Utilities, energy and process plant
Defence and other mission-critical facilities
Our Process
Plan – Agree test strategy, scope and acceptance criteria.
Prepare – Develop, simulate and dry-run logic and HMI where appropriate.
FAT – Execute formal FAT, capture issues and retest to closure.
SAT – Prove performance on site under real operating conditions.
Commission – Bring systems safely into service and optimise performance.
Handover – Deliver final documentation, training and options for ongoing support.
