FAT / SAT & Commissioning

Assure performance before you go live. We help you move from designed to running safely and reliably by proving that every control panel, PLC, robot, drive and networked device works together exactly as intended—before your system enters service.

What We Deliver

Our Test, FAT / SAT & Commissioning services ensure smooth start-up, reduced risk and confident handover across industrial, utility, logistics and mission-critical environments.

Test Strategy & Planning

  • Develop structured test strategies aligned to requirements, standards and project risk.
  • Define scopes, acceptance criteria and responsibilities for all stakeholders.
  • Produce detailed, traceable test procedures linked to design and requirements.

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)

  • Controlled-environment testing for PLC/SCADA, safety systems, drives, robotics and networks.
  • Simulation/emulation of field I/O and sequences when full hardware isn’t available.
  • Functional, safety and failover testing with formal witnessing and test reports.

Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)

  • On-site verification of panels, cabling, networks and power.
  • I/O checks, loop checks and field device validation.
  • Full end-to-end testing of alarms, sequences and system interactions with plant systems, historians and MES/ERP.

Commissioning & Start-Up

  • Cold and hot commissioning for process, utilities and automated systems.
  • Tuning of loops, sequences and cycle times for stable performance.
  • Operator training, documentation handover and early-life support.

Compliance & Assurance

  • Testing aligned with relevant safety, industry and cyber standards.
  • Support for audits, inspections, validation and qualification activities.
  • Evidence packs suitable for safety cases, regulatory review and through-life support.

Typical Applications
