Once the new control system is delivered to the site, the construction management team is responsible for installation, field tests, and other related activities. Manufacturers may need to certify the installation of specialized equipment (e.g., process analyzers). They can also test equipment, provide startup assistance, and train users.

Intelligent field instruments and asset-management software can simplify commissioning activities such as system configuration and loop checkout. Intelligent field devices or instruments generate equipment status and diagnostic information that are gathered by asset-management software at a central site (e.g., a control room or maintenance shop) where the installation team can review it all. This approach is more efficient than the traditional method of having team members travel throughout the facility to test each device individually (Johnson and Bailey, 2000; Raven, 2001).
