A handover pack assembled as the work happens

Commissioning

Verify equipment against the design record, capture test evidence and close punch lists, so handover is an export rather than a reconstruction.

At handover

The pack is assembled at the end, from evidence left by people who have gone

Commissioning is where a project finds out what it failed to record. Serial numbers were photographed on somebody's phone, test results sit in a folder structure that made sense to one engineer, and the punch list is a spreadsheet with a date in the filename. The pack gets built in the last six weeks by whoever is still on the project, and the operator inherits a record they cannot verify.

One verification

Equipment checked against the design record while the crew is still there

A verification pass reads what is actually installed and compares it with what the design said would be, so a mismatch is a punch item this week rather than a discovery in year two.

Punch item raised against the installer, with evidence

The frame, the design record and the serial read are attached, so the item is closed by fixing it rather than by arguing about it.

Identifiers and counts are illustrative.

Commissioning

What changes when the pack builds itself

Four capabilities, and between them they turn handover from a project into an export.

Verify what is installed

Equipment, serials and positions read from capture and compared with the design record. The exception list is what is different, not a list of everything that exists.

Capture test evidence in place

Results, readings and photographs attached to the asset they belong to as they are taken, rather than filed under whoever took them.

Run the punch list against the record

Every item carries the evidence it was raised from and the evidence it was closed with, so closure is verifiable rather than asserted.

Assemble the pack continuously

The bundle is a view of the record rather than a document somebody builds at the end. On any given day you can see exactly what is missing.

The pack

A handover bundle that is already most of the way built

A view of the record on a given day, not a document produced at the end of the job. The two lines that are not finished are the point: you can see what is outstanding while there is still a crew on site to close it.

  • Assembled continuously, so the state is visible on any day rather than only in the last six weeks.
  • Every item traces to the capture, reading or document it came from.
  • Exported as a bundle the operator can hold, in open formats, without a licence for our platform.
  • What is not finished is shown as not finished. A pack where everything is green is a pack nobody checks.

Counts and states are illustrative. They show what the bundle holds and what an unfinished one looks like.

The same bundle becomes the operator's opening record on day one, which is the only reason any of this matters.

Who does the work

Three modules, in this phase

This is the phase where the record has to be complete rather than clever, so nothing here acts on its own. The agent's limits are opened once the plant is in service.

O-EYE

Detect

Captures the as-built condition and reads equipment and positions against the design record.

O-ARC

Analyse

Pulls the first readings from equipment as it is energised, so commissioning tests are evidence rather than a note.

Read more
O-OPS

Operations

Holds the register, the punch list, the certificates and the pack itself, and hands them over intact.

What you get

What leaves this phase

An as-built record

Final capture and model, versioned against the baseline set before groundbreaking.

A verified equipment register

What is actually installed and where, with exceptions against design listed rather than smoothed over.

A traceable punch list

Items carrying the evidence they were raised from and the evidence they were closed with.

A handover bundle

Certificates, tests, drawings and the model, exported in open formats as the operator's opening record.

Questions from this phase

Can this read serial numbers reliably?

From close-range capture, often. From an aerial pass at array scale, not dependably, and we would rather say so than let you plan around it. In practice serial verification is a mix of capture, handheld reads and the installer's own records, all landing in the same register.

Our EPC has their own handover process. Does this conflict with it?

It usually replaces the assembly work rather than the process. The contractual deliverables stay whatever your contract says. What changes is that the evidence is already collected and attached, so producing them is an export rather than a project.

What happens to the pack after handover?

It becomes the operator's opening record, which is the whole reason to build it this way. The hierarchy, the certificates and the as-built model are the same objects operations will be working against on day one.

Can we start at commissioning if we did not use the earlier phases?

Yes, and it is a common starting point. You lose the baseline comparison, so as-built is recorded as found rather than as changed. Everything from commissioning forward works normally.

Bring the whole portfolio under one layer. Start with one site.
