These enable the configuration, parameterization and coding of a technical system, thereby optimizing the commissioning of industrial applications. "The algorithms we have developed can be used primarily to enable the guided commissioning of a system via electronic media. The know-how stored in knowledge databases is available both for less experienced employees and for follow-up projects," explains Heino Brose, Managing Director of Synostik.

Commissioning complex systems is time-consuming, risky and often very error-sensitive. This is because machines and systems must be tested for functionality, proper operation, safety and quality before they are used in everyday operations for the first time. Particularly in the case of special machines or custom-built systems, a trial run and a final test phase are necessary following assembly. In most cases, there is a significantly increased risk of accidents or health problems during this test run. This is where the algorithms developed by Synostik come in and minimize these problems.

Digitized commissioning for greater safety and transparency

In order to optimize the processes for holistic commissioning, Synostik has developed a way to transfer all process steps into digital algorithms. This tool-supported commissioning ensures optimum safety, as the digital version allows less use of untrained personnel and thus actively prevents accidents. Above all, potential problems are detected in advance and can be eliminated, which in turn prevents possible damage to people and machines. An additional advantage: the algorithms are available as XML files and can be converted very easily for further processing and transferred into any customer-specific format.

Algorithm creation using the DiagnosticDesigner

The Synostik tool uses the diagnostic design methodology to create commissioning algorithms. These can be adapted to customer requirements for their systems and devices as required. The tool provides a graphical system visualization that allows potential faults and their possible causes to be fully identified at an early stage. Furthermore, the detailed instructions for commissioning and troubleshooting enable system functionality to be established quickly, regardless of the technician's level of experience.

Comprehensive overview of mobile app

With the help of the Synostik smartphone app Diana, instructions and deviations in the commissioning of a machine can be reliably identified and instructions for troubleshooting can be called up. With the help of an AI-supported chatbot, symptoms are evaluated in dialog with the user. This allows possible causes of faults to be identified and further narrowed down using a process of elimination. "Standardized and detailed commissioning of a product can not only save costs, but also save users a lot of work. The use of our step-based instructions helps to complete the process of commissioning devices and systems in machine parks successfully and without errors. The use of specialist personnel is no longer absolutely necessary. Commissioning can now be carried out by any employee," says Heino Brose.

By using Synostik's digital software tools, users achieve both fast commissioning of their systems and efficient maintenance and repair. The result: reduced costs and less downtime. The result is increased customer satisfaction.
