Accelerate Project Commissioning with Exto
During a commissioning project, steps and procedures are undertaken to ensure safety, quality, and industry compliance. Since an average construction project entails thousands of functions, each with subparts of its own, it is important to note that project commissioning is a complex, time-consuming piece of this multifaceted puzzle.
Commissioning includes verification, inspection, functional testing, and performance evaluation of all equipment and integrated systems to ensure that all components meet the safety requirements for operations and work together as intended.
Exto can help commissioning teams in different areas and digitize manual processes, like paper-based checklists, spreadsheets, and work reporting.
Streamline Commissioning with Exto
Exto was designed to reduce the workload during crucial aspects of commissioning. The work management platform helps automate and simplify commissioning operations in construction projects.
Commissioning teams typically deal with large amounts of data generated in the form of paper-based documentation and checklists, hundreds of spreadsheets, and Word files for reporting. As a result, this data becomes extremely difficult to manage, especially when multiple stakeholders are involved.
Exto enhances commissioning communications and collaboration with stakeholders, automates project workflows, enables electronic document management, and monitors work progress in the field. The platform helps improve employee communication, keeps tabs on errors, provides equipment status, and even allows photo updates of the job site in each phase of the commissioning process. Let’s review how Exto provides a comprehensive approach to project commissioning.
Plan Commissioning Activities and Update Progress
Plan and effortlessly manage step-by-step activities to commission every system, subsystem, and individual pieces of equipment.
Create and keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed. This can include creating a task list, assigning tasks to team members, setting deadlines, and tracking progress.
Consolidate Document Management
Keep track of essential documents needed for commissioning. Store documents in a central location, share documents with team members and track who has accessed the records.
Configure Site-Specific Hierarchies
Manage the overall project plan for commissioning in construction by configuring sites and locations. You can put the entire plant or machinery hierarchy in place, allowing you to establish building-specific and user-specific roles.
Automate and Monitor Cx pProcesses in Real Time
Automate commissioning tasks, ultimately reducing the amount of time and effort required to complete commissioning.
Automate processes for work, issues, RFIs, punch lists, etc. Create and assign custom modules to specific users for easy and efficient work management. Simplify commissioning workflows. Files can be uploaded to Exto, which are then automatically synced to workflow processes, enabling you to seamlessly execute commissioning workflows.
Simplify Communication
Information flows constantly between owners, financing entities, designers, contractors, subcontractors, and project members. A single platform that allows authorized project team members to find the information they need eliminates bottlenecks. Communicate and follow up on dormant deficiencies, review equipment-based reporting custom reporting, and collaborate in one platform on an issue basis.
Digitize Project Commissioning Checklists
Replace pen and paper pushing with an easy-to-access digital checklist you can access from any location and share with everyone.
View Schedules at a Glance
Schedule commissioning tasks down to the last detail to help ensure that tasks are completed during convenient times for all parties.
Exto Client Increases Cx Efficiency
A leading semiconductor and microprocessor company was using manual commissioning processes, scattered document control, non-schedule governed checklists, and siloed information systems that led to errors and cumbersome collaboration. The company chose Exto as a future-proof solution to manage their commissioning processes.
Exto was customized to the company’s specific needs and integrated with their existing tools so they could standardize Cx processes across facilities and teams, eliminate manual operations, reduce inefficiencies within equipment dependencies, and enable a schedule-driven approach to commissioning.
Deploying Exto as a single source of truth for project commissioning reduced company Cx errors and increased efficiency.
