Abstract
Providing real-time compliance status for industrial process equipment. Aspects of the disclosure provide a common platform to receive data indicative of services performed on industrial process equipment via a plurality of formats and to provide the data representing the real-time compliance status via a unified format on, for example, a graphical user interface of a computing device.
Claims13
A system comprising:
- at least one service provider computing device, the service provider computing device configured to transmit data, via a communications network, indicative of services performed on an instrument, the instrument comprising a device of an industrial process;
- a management system computing device, the management system computing device communicatively coupled to the at least one service provider computing device via the communications network, the management system computing device configured to generate a real-time compliance status for the device based on the data transmitted by the at least one service provider indicative of the services performed on the instrument;
- and
- a user computing device, the user computing device communicatively coupled to the management system computing device via the communications network,
- wherein the management system computing device is configured to provide the real-time compliance status of the device to the user computing device via the communications network in response to receiving a request for the real-time compliance status, and
- wherein the management system computing device is further configured to aggregate a multi-tier compliance status.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a management system computing device via a communications network, data indicative of services performed on a first instrument;
- receiving, by the management system computing device via the communications network, data indicative of services performed on a second instrument, the first and second instruments comprising a device of an industrial process;
- generating a real-time compliance status for the industrial process device by combining the data indicative of services performed on the first instrument with the data indicative of services performed on the second instrument;
- providing the real-time compliance status of the industrial process device to a user computing device via the communications network in response to a request therefor from the user computing device;
- and
- aggregating, by the management system computing device, a multi-tier compliance status.
