1 Product Introduction

1.1 Field Advisor Overview

Operations and Maintenance Excellence programs succeed when technology enables the work processes they define and
enforce. Field Advisor is a key technology component that enables the operations driven reliability (ODR) work processes
defined by Operations and Maintenance Excellence programs. Best practices are codified and provided to the filed operator
to assure accountability and ensure that tasks, such as compliance requirements, are completed.

Appropriate operations tasks are configured related to

reliability, safety, health, environment, product quality,
maintenance and so on. Operators, using mobile handheld
computers are presented with the appropriate tasks in an
efficient round. Field Advisor creates a unique round for
each shift according to the defined frequency of each task,
state of the asset, etc. – only the required tasks are
presented to the operator. Further, if observations and
measurements exceed configured limits, reconditioning
tasks are presented to the operator to help guide
appropriate actions related to the abnormal situation.
Figure 1. Field Advisor closes the loop to realize reliability goals

Field Advisor is deployed on handheld computers from various manufacturers including Honeywell’s Dolphin series of mobile
computers. Technologies such as barcodes and RFID transponders can be used to assure appropriate tasks are performed
for an asset. Peripherals, such as vibration probes and temperature guns, can also be utilized to further simplify the
collection of data related to an assets condition.

Simply providing a tool to present tasks to field operators will not achieve the desired operations, maintenance or reliability
improvements and goals. Reporting and notification mechanism must enable appropriate action related to the recorded data
and exceeded limits. Field operators will truly own the assets they operate as they see appropriate action taken as a result
of their work. Field Advisor provides the necessary reporting and notification capabilities to assure this important feedback
loop is in place and functional. Additionally, complex analysis is possible using the desktop reporting tools available with
process historians when the inspection data collected by Field Advisor is archived in the historian. For example, inspection
data can be analyzed alongside other process data archived in Honeywell’s Uniformance® PHD using the industry-leading
engineering tools provided in the Uniformance Process Studio.

1.2 Architecture
Honeywell Field Advisor can be deployed at the
enterprise level and be configured to manage
the field tasks at multiple sites. The flexible
architecture can also be deployed to meet
individual site needs.

Note 1 – Dozens or even a hundred or more handheld clients can be in use during a shift. Managing the quantity connected at any one
time to upload/download is practical to assure good performance. Practically speaking, five handheld clients connected for
upload/download at one time works well.
Note 2 – Calculated limits based on typical usage suggest as many as 375 per server/enterprise and 120 per site. Typical usage
indicates between 10 and 35 handheld clients may be in use at one time.
Note 3 – The number of shifts are limited to whole hours resulting in shift durations of 24, 12, 8, 6 or 4 hours.
Note 4 – Configuration maximum. Typical installations are on the order of 500 assets or less.
Note 5 – This is the maximum number of tasks a specific operator must complete in a shift. Where operational needs require operators
to download tasks that other operators will complete, the maximum is 10,000.
