Operator Rounds
Automate the tasks of collecting, storing, and analyzing equipment operating data from operator rounds
Even in the most modern plants, routine personnel inspections of equipment and facilities are critical to detecting and preventing costly maintenance problems that might go undetected by automated monitoring systems alone.
To ensure that you are getting the most out of plant inspections, eSOMS Operator Rounds is designed to automate the task of collecting, computing, and storing data from operator rounds. The system also provides personnel responsible for plant operation and performance with a powerful yet easy to use tool for analyzing the data quickly and efficiently.
Operator Rounds puts the power and flexibility of complex calculations, trending, and analysis at the fingertips of operators and engineers both at the desktop and in the field where the likelihood of detecting and preventing equipment problems is greatly enhanced, thus maximizing plant reliability.
eSOMS Operator Rounds features:
Rounds Setup & Maintenance – Create and maintain simple data collection rounds or complex procedures including computations and analysis. Each user-definable round is composed of an unlimited number of records used to describe each data point to be collected or calculated. A record contains:
- Detail - description, location, equipment, limits (min, max, tolerance), units, data type, instructions…
- Schedule frequency – shifts, days-of week, days-of-month…
- Scripting language – for calculating readings, variable limits, alerts, and/or variable frequency
- Alerts – Reading-sensitive instructions for notifications, corrective actions…
- Standard Readings / Notes – values of allowable readings and performance note templates
- Narrative Log Links – links to allow automatic entries into eSOMS Narrative Logs module
- Reference Documents – attach multi-media documents (text, graphics, audio, video…)
Rounds Performance – At the desktop or in the field rounds can be performed with:
- Navigational aids - perform by sequence, location, description, equipment, barcode
- Calculations – automatically evaluate readings, limits, alerts, and collection frequency
- Limit and alert checking – notification of abnormal readings w/ alerts and compliance tracking
- Performance Documents – multi-media text, graphics, audio or video notes attachment capabilities
- Historical data reference in both tabular and graphical formats
- Multi-Readings – unlimited multiple readings per record for increased surveillance
- Filter capabilities – missed readings, abnormal readings, required readings
Rounds Data Management – Report, trending, statistical analysis capabilities include:
- A variety of normal and abnormal log reports
- Public or private user-definable data views
- Chart Wizard feature
Mobile eSOMS for Operator Rounds automates the performance and tracking of rounds in the field.
