From Hours, to Minutes, and Now to Seconds. The Evolution of Smart Commissioning.
Positively impacting the overall certainty of project execution, Smart Commissioning helps automation projects meet strict and shifting deadlines. New functionality in the DeltaV™ distributed control system (DCS) and AMS Device Manager asset management software improves device binding configuration, testing, and documentation.




Initiate a One-Click Commissioning Process
Take commissioning off the critical path – included in v14 is a new commissioning application that allows you to manage the entire commissioning work flow for commissioning HART devices. There is also a new studio environment, called I/O Studio, that allows you to define device templates – imagine simply initiating a “one click” commissioning process – it’s that easy and that fast.


Simplify Commissioning to Shorten Project Timelines
Smart Commissioning dramatically reduces timing and effort by providing an efficient progression from device initiations to process startup.
