Commissioning is the most critical moment in the lifecycle of an industrial plant. VLD Service accompanies the entire process — from final mechanical assembly through electrical testing and PLC parameterization to the final production run. Our goal: a plant that runs at full capacity on handover day with zero rework.
- Turnkey commissioning of complete systems
- Integration into existing logistics systems
- PLC parameterization and functional testing
- Operator training
From Delivery to Production
A new machine is delivered — but between arrival at the loading dock and the first finished product lies a complex process: mechanical assembly, alignment, stainless steel piping, electrical connection, PLC parameterization, safety check, test run, performance test, training. That is exactly our job.
Turnkey Installation
We handle the complete installation: from positioning and aligning the machine through piping (TIG stainless steel) and electrical wiring to integration into your existing infrastructure. One team, one schedule, one point of contact — from the first bolt to the performance test.
Parameterization and Functional Testing
After mechanical and electrical installation comes commissioning: PLC parameterization, sensor calibration, safety circuit testing, process testing. We ramp up the plant step by step and optimize each process step until the required performance is achieved.
Performance Test and Acceptance
Before we hand over the plant, we perform a complete performance test: Is the plant running at the intended capacity? Are all safety functions active? Does cleaning work? Only when everything checks out does acceptance take place — including documentation and training of your personnel.
Training
Your employees need to be able to operate and maintain the new plant in daily use. We train your team: operation, basic settings, common faults and their resolution, cleaning procedures. Hands-on, directly at the machine.
