Case Study: Commissioning of Bender NGR Packages

Written by Bender Inc | July 24, 2023

In 2016, Bender began offering NGR packaged solutions with a premium commissioning support option. Projects often face budget restrictions which cause a strong pushback to drop non-essential parts of a package.   Bender has been successful in commissioning installations that previously had hit roadblocks and been unsuccessful in completing installation. Below are a few of the reasons and benefits of commissioning with Bender.

With the increasing digitalization of the workplace, it can be a challenge to know all products used at a manufacturing plant. A large off-road vehicle OEM specified Bender early on in their design stage.  When it was time to install and commission, they hired Bender to finish the job. Bender devices were new to the customer, and commissioning support gave them comfort in product setup and operation.

As is common after construction, there were some original intermittent faults.  Since our team commissioned the setup, our technical support had the benefit of knowing the relays were programmed properly, ensuring the focus could be spent on examining the downstream devices that were causing the faults. The customer was able to isolate and uncover a faulted HVAC unit and defective welder. This instilled great trust in the reliability of the RCMS490 and NGRM700s.

Bender Commissioning Process

The commissioning procedure for a Bender system involves several steps to ensure proper installation and functionality. On-site, a Bender representative assists in providing complete support with our package offering.  Below is a general outline of the Bender commissioning procedure:

  1. On-site installation wiring verification/inspection
  2. Functional testing
  3. Calibration and configuration
  4. System integration
  5. Performance verification
  6. Documentation and training
