  • collaboration between field & control room
    hands-free, augmented data with HoloLens

Procedure
Manager

Define workflows and
supporting information

  • build complex conditional logic and parallel
    tasks with “no-code” drag-and-drop tools
  • include rich instruction adding images, videos
  • choose from the library of pre-defined step types
  • connect to DCS to read data not available in the field or enter field measurements not in the DCS

Integrated
Task Manager

Assign, schedule and track jobs
from predefined procedures

  • schedule now, later, recurring, event-based
  • assign task to defined users, user groups
  • leverage Kanban view to monitor job status, avoid delays and reduce bottlenecks
  • digitize & transmit manually collected data to the relevant system (e.g. APM data collection)

Benefits

ABB Ability™ Augmented Field Procedures enables consistent, effective and safe execution of manual procedures – every time.

Enhance Health & Safety

  • Reduce incidents and abnormal situations by effectively guiding and supporting operators every step when executing critical procedures
  • Comply with statutory requirements

Increase efficiency

  • Improve creation, distribution, maintenance and consistent execution of procedures, resulting in reduction of waste, complete procedures faster and minimizes downtime caused by manual errors
  • Interactive with the real time process control system to ensure synchronization of manual with automated industrial procedures

Improve field operations collaboration

  • Linking procedures and tasks to the involved roles and persons and providing the interface to enable the seamless collaboration and confirmation by multiple stakeholders.   Everyone is “on the same page”

Retention of corporate knowledge

  • Retain operating discipline knowledge as a basis for efficient and standardized work practices.
  • Provide a basis for operator training and certification

Accelerate process improvements

  • Captured procedure execution performance, collected data and operator comments allows for continuous improvements

Ensure complete audit trail and data

  • Audit trail of actions, time-stamps and complete execution history for every step to ensure workers follow procedures
