Ensuring your system is installed, configured and ready to perform
Commissioning is a critical step in achieving optimum performance from your measurement system and maximising your return on investment. Control Metrix provides commissioning services across the UK and Ireland, ensuring your equipment is correctly installed and configured for your specific application, giving you confidence from day one. Our experienced site engineers set and verify all internal parameters to optimise measurement performance and ensure reliable, long-term operation.
Just as importantly, we provide expert guidance and hands-on support to your team during commissioning, ensuring they fully understand the system and feel confident operating it independently once we leave site. Contact us to discuss your commissioning requirements.

What commissioning includes
Confirm that the system is installed in accordance with the supplied instructions and carry out final sensor alignment.
Set and verify all internal parameters optimising the system for your application, including setting up reference product libraries.
Check the system operation under production conditions and test communication interface. Depending on the system, this may involve calibration or calibration verification.
Record critical system settings and parameters so we can quickly provide support in the future, with your unique configuration securely held on file.
System handover and operator guidance
During this session, we:
- Demonstrate correct system operation
- Explain key measurement functions and output
- Cover first-level maintenance and basic checks
- Answer practical, application-specific questions
We don’t leave site until you are confident using the system and satisfied with its performance.
For teams working across multiple shifts, additional operator training sessions can be arranged, either as a follow-up visit or scheduled after commissioning if pre-booked. Complete the support request form to arrange operator training.
Why commissioning matters
Professional commissioning helps you:
- Start in the right way by using experienced professionals to configure your system correctly.
- Build operator knowledge through training, giving your team confidence in using the system effectively.
- Achieve accurate measurements from the outset.
- Avoid setup errors that can affect process efficiency or product quality.
- Extend equipment life through correct implementation.
Ensure consistency across multiple production lines by configuring all systems in the same way. It’s the fastest way to protect your investment and ensure your system delivers real value on the production line.

Commissioning FAQs
Commissioning is typically listed as a separate line item when we quote for the supply of new equipment. It is carried out shortly after the equipment has been installed by the customer. Our team will liaise with you in advance to coordinate site commissioning and ensure it takes place at a time that fits with your installation plan.
Commissioning is shown as a separate line item when we quote for the supply of new equipment. It is optional but highly recommended service. Commissioning ensures the equipment is correctly implemented on your site and ensures a smooth handover to your operatives.
Yes. We can support commissioning for existing or relocated measurement systems, including legacy equipment, subject to application and condition. This is particularly useful when systems have been moved, upgraded, or reintroduced after downtime.
Yes, we issue a commissioning report following the site visit. The report summarises the installation set up and provides key system details at the time of handover.
All systems have a warranty irrespective of whether we commission the system or not. However, we are able to provide a higher level of support in the future if we have commissioned as system as we know the installation details and have a record of the system configuration and parameters.
Commissioning services are available across the UK and Ireland.
Commissioning ensures your system is correctly installed, configured, and optimised for your specific application. Our site engineers set, verify, and validate all internal software settings and system parameters. As part of the commissioning process, we also provide your team with expert guidance and hands-on training, ensuring confidence and competence before formal handover.
Calibration, on the other hand, verifies the accuracy of the measurement system against a known reference or recognised standard. Calibration confirms that the system is measuring within its specified tolerances but does not address installation, configuration or application-specific setup.
In practice, commissioning ensures the system is correctly set up for its intended use, while calibration confirms it is measuring accurately. Both play an important role in achieving reliable, repeatable measurement performance.
Our commissioning and field servicing services are available throughout the UK and Ireland. Please contact us to discuss site access, scheduling and specific requirements.
