Keep Energy Projects Moving Toward Commercial Operation

Energy commissioning brings together large equipment inventories, specialized contractors, utility requirements, OEM procedures, interconnected controls and demanding commercial operation dates. Bluerithm brings the work into one platform so teams can see what has been completed, what is holding up the next phase and what must happen before systems can be energized or placed into operation.

Blue Arrow
Track System Readiness

See commissioning progress across equipment, arrays, turbines, blocks, feeders, systems, subsystems, contractors and project phases.

Standardize Field Execution

Give project teams consistent digital checklists, inspection and test records, startup procedures, completion certificates and approval workflows.

Resolve Punch Items Faster

Connect deficiencies to the affected equipment, system, responsible party, drawing, test, photo and supporting documentation.

Improve Turnover

Maintain organized commissioning records throughout the project instead of assembling thousands of files at closeout.

One Platform for Energy Commissioning

Bluerithm gives energy teams the tools to manage commissioning from initial project setup and equipment tracking through construction verification, energization, startup, performance testing, punch resolution, reporting and final turnover.

Manage Equipment

Create structured equipment registers and connect each asset to its inspections, tests, punch items, documents, photos, responsibilities and current status.

Digitize Checklists and Test Procedures

Complete installation inspections, pre-energization checks, equipment startup records, functional tests and performance tests from phones, tablets or computers.

Track Punch Items

Capture, categorize, assign, update, verify and close punch items while maintaining a complete activity history.

Monitor Readiness

Use dashboards to track asset completion, testing progress, outstanding punch items, upcoming milestones and readiness for energization or operation.

Generate Reports

Build progress, testing, punch, system-completion and final commissioning reports directly from current project data.

Work Anywhere

Give field teams access to their commissioning work on any device, including at remote sites with limited internet connectivity.

Configure Bluerithm Around Your Energy Commissioning Process

No two energy projects have the same technology, equipment hierarchy, delivery model, interconnection requirements, testing procedures or turnover standards. Bluerithm lets you configure project structures, asset hierarchies, workflows, forms, responsibilities, dashboards and reports around the way each project operates.

Blue Arrow
Flexible Project Structure

Organize commissioning information by site, facility, block, array, turbine, feeder, system, subsystem, equipment type, discipline, contractor, phase or turnover package.

Custom Workflows

Create workflows for construction verification, mechanical completion, pre-energization, energization, startup, functional testing, performance testing, punch resolution, approvals and handover.

Reusable Templates

Standardize equipment types, forms, test procedures, workflows, dashboards and reports across projects, technologies and regional programs.

Built to Scale

Use Bluerithm for a single energy facility or a multi-project portfolio involving thousands of assets, users, tests, punch items and commissioning records.

Turn Your Energy Commissioning Standards Into Repeatable Templates

Build it once. Improve it over time. Use it again.

Digitize Energy Commissioning Checklists and Test Procedures

Replace paper forms, spreadsheets, PDFs and disconnected documents with digital commissioning workflows connected directly to energy assets and systems.

Create everything from straightforward installation inspections to detailed energization, startup and performance-testing procedures with conditional logic, equations, validation, attachments, signatures, automatic punch-item creation and real-time completion tracking.

Keep Energy Assets at the Center of Commissioning

Connect every commissioning activity to the equipment and systems being inspected, tested or energized.

Import equipment lists, organize large asset inventories, and associate each item with its forms, tests, punch items, documents, photos, responsibilities and current commissioning status.

BESS Example Project Assets

Capture and Resolve Punch Items Faster

Manage deficiencies, incomplete work, failed tests, damaged equipment and retesting requirements from identification through verified resolution.

Field users can create punch items from phones or tablets and include photos, descriptions, classifications, priorities, assignments, due dates, comments and supporting documentation.

Connect Punch Items and Equipment to Energy Project Drawings

Use PDF markups and pins to connect equipment, punch items, commissioning work and project information directly to site plans, array layouts, one-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, P&IDs, schematics and construction documents.

Teams can quickly identify where an asset or punch item is located while keeping that information connected to the complete commissioning record.

Meetings

Keep Commissioning Meetings Connected to the Project

Plan and document energy commissioning meetings inside Bluerithm so agendas, decisions, attendees and follow-up actions remain connected to current project information.

See Energy Commissioning Readiness in Real Time

Bluerithm dashboards turn live project data into a clear view of installation progress, testing readiness, outstanding punch items and systems requiring attention.

Create dashboards for individual sites, blocks, arrays, turbines, feeders, systems, project phases, contractors or entire energy portfolios.

Track metrics including:

BESS Dashboard

Monitor Commissioning Across Multiple Energy Projects

Combine information from multiple sites and projects to give owners, developers, EPCs and commissioning leaders a portfolio-level view of progress and performance.

Standardized dashboards make it easier to compare projects, identify recurring issues, monitor contractor performance and apply lessons learned across solar, wind, BESS and other energy programs.

Build Energy Commissioning Reports From Live Project Data

Stop manually assembling reports from spreadsheets, PDFs, photos, test documents and separate punch lists.

Bluerithm’s report builder can incorporate equipment information, inspection results, testing progress, punch items, charts, tables, photos, project members and supporting documentation directly from the project.

Create:

Complete Energy Commissioning Work in the Field

Give commissioning personnel, EPCs, contractors, OEM representatives, vendors and other field teams direct access to the information required to complete their work. Use Bluerithm on phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers to complete inspections and tests, review equipment information, capture photos and attachments, create and respond to punch items, add comments and documentation, review drawings and procedures, and monitor commissioning readiness.

Bluerithm can also support field execution at remote energy sites where internet connectivity is limited.

Save Time With AI-Powered Project Setup

Bluerithm includes AI tools that reduce repetitive setup work and help teams prepare energy commissioning projects more efficiently.

Generate Checklists and Tests With AI

Create asset- and discipline-specific commissioning checklists or turn technical procedures and sequences into detailed inspection and testing workflows.

Equipment Schedule Import Tool AI

Create Equipment Lists With AI

Upload screenshots of equipment lists, asset registers and schedules and convert them into editable equipment records that can be connected to forms and workflows.

Import Project Users With AI

Paste emails, contact lists, spreadsheets or screenshots and review the extracted names, companies, roles and disciplines before adding users to the project.

Connect Commissioning With the Rest of Your Energy Project Technology

Connect Bluerithm with construction, reporting, analytics and enterprise systems so commissioning information does not become another isolated source of project data.
