Commissioning
Professional Commissioning for New & Upgraded Weighing Systems
Correct commissioning is essential to ensure any weighing system performs accurately, safely and reliably from day one. Whether you’re installing brand‑new equipment, replacing load cells or upgrading existing instrumentation, Weigh Sol provides full onsite commissioning to verify technical compliance and deliver the best possible weighing performance.
We commission both Weigh Sol equipment and equipment supplied by others, as well as re‑commissioning upgraded installations.
What Our On‑Site Engineers Do
During commissioning, our specialist engineers carry out a structured set of tasks to ensure the weighing system is installed correctly and ready for operation. This typically includes:
- Balancing load cell outputs For vessels mounted on multiple legs or brackets, we shim and adjust the load cell mounts to ensure even distribution and stable performance.
- Terminating wiring and non‑field cabling All electrical connections are completed, checked and verified.
- Dry testing where possible Before introducing product, we test the system to confirm correct operation and identify any issues early.
- Calibrating to the required accuracy The system is calibrated to meet the specified tolerances for the application.
- Checking live weighing performance We verify real‑world behaviour to ensure the system responds correctly under load.
- Providing a detailed site report A typed commissioning report and calibration certificate are normally supplied on the same day, documenting all work carried out.
This process ensures your weighing system is fully compliant, stable and ready for production.
Pre‑Commissioning for Smooth Installation
Before final commissioning takes place, Weigh Sol recommends a Pre‑Commissioning visit. This proactive step helps avoid delays and ensures the installation is progressing correctly.
During a Pre‑Commissioning visit, our engineer will:
- Review the mechanical installation
- Check vessel supports, brackets and mounting arrangements
- Ensure connecting pipework is sufficiently flexible
- Identify and eliminate potential “hang‑up” issues
- Confirm there are no external forces restricting vessel movement
- Highlight any concerns that may affect final commissioning
This early inspection helps ensure the system can be commissioned efficiently and without unexpected complications.
Why Commissioning Matters
Proper commissioning ensures:
- Accurate and stable weighing performance
- Compliance with technical specifications
- Reliable integration with process control systems
- Reduced risk of future faults or downtime
- Long‑term system reliability
Commissioning is the final and most important step before a weighing system enters service — and Weigh Sol ensures it’s done right.
