Due to the challenges of testing automation software prior to installation, it is not uncommon to see the testing occur on-site during commissioning, which in many cases leads to project cost overruns and missed completion dates.
Having experience in many projects, we minimize this risk through a proven structured process that includes unique practices such as complete functional testing prior to on-site commissioning. Our standard approach includes over 30 critical project management steps, which are summarized in the following project milestones:
- User Requirements Development (if not already done)
- Functional Specification and Detailed Design
- Software Development and Testing
- Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) with end-user and all project stakeholders
- On-site Installation and Commissioning
- Site Acceptance Testing
- Project Follow-up
