Commissioning marks the transition from construction to operation — a complex phase where schedules are tight and mistakes costly. UDiTH supports commissioning teams by visualizing systems, structuring workflows, and connecting tasks to the digital twin. This reduces manual effort, speeds up handover, and ensures a safer, more reliable startup.
The challenge
Commissioning is often underestimated:
- Multiple disciplines need to align on system completions, flushing, leak tests, safety checks, and documentation.
- Traditionally, tasks are tracked across spreadsheets, paper markups, or copies of engineering documents.
- Inconsistencies and missing updates create delays and errors at the very moment when time pressure is highest.
The result: additional rework, compromised safety, and costly startup delays.
The UDiTH solution
UDiTH integrates commissioning into the digital twin:
- System completion: Define and visualize commissioning systems directly in the model, across all relevant documents.
- Data integration: Connect engineering data, tags, equipment, and test records in one environment.
- Workflows: Use CoTrack to assign, track, and close commissioning tasks across teams and contractors.
- Transparency: Commissioning status is always up to date, reducing manual markups and rework.
- Safe startup: Digital documentation ensures all tests, isolations, and checklists are complete before handover.
Relevant UDiTH capabilities:
- CoTrack: Manage commissioning tasks, workflows, and approvals.
- Historian insight: Use live IoT data to validate and monitor system performance during startup.
- Sketching: Define commissioning boundaries or simulate modifications directly in 3D or P&IDs.
- Markups: Add quick annotations to highlight issues in models or documents.
- Reports: Generate reports for commissioning and handover in UDiTH, with easy Excel export.
- Custom attributes & apps: Define commissioning systems or extend UDiTH with dashboards and project-specific workflows and automations.
