Abstract
For equipment tutorial review audit, a processor synchronizes a plurality of equipment tutorials to a mobile device. Each equipment tutorial corresponds to an equipment instance of a plurality of equipment instances of specific equipment and each equipment instance corresponds to an equipment reference code. The processor receives a first equipment reference code for a first equipment instance at the mobile device. The processor retrieves a first equipment tutorial of the plurality of equipment tutorials that is indexed to the first equipment reference code at the mobile device. The processor displays the first equipment tutorial on the mobile device. In addition, the processor records a review of the first equipment tutorial by an operator to an audit report.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- synchronizing, by use of a processor, equipment statuses to a mobile device through a network from a procedure database, wherein each equipment status corresponds to an equipment instance of a plurality of equipment instances of specific equipment and each equipment instance corresponds to an equipment reference code;
- receiving a first equipment reference code for a first equipment instance at the mobile device;
- retrieving a first equipment status of a plurality of equipment statuses that is indexed to the first equipment reference code to the mobile device;
- displaying the first equipment status on the mobile device;
- retrieving an equipment procedure indexed to the first equipment reference code;
- presenting a training in a use of the equipment procedure;
- receiving an indication that a portion of the equipment procedure for the first equipment instance is complete, wherein the equipment procedure comprises text that directs a performance to an operation on the first equipment instance;
- generating an update of the equipment status from the indication;
- and
- synchronizing the updated equipment status to the procedure database.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory storing code executable by the processor to perform:
- synchronizing, by use of a processor, equipment statuses to a mobile device through a network from a procedure database, wherein each equipment status corresponds to an equipment instance of a plurality of equipment instances of specific equipment and each equipment instance corresponds to an equipment reference code;
- receiving a first equipment reference code for a first equipment instance at the mobile device;
- retrieving a first equipment status of a plurality of equipment statuses that is indexed to the first equipment reference code to the mobile device;
- displaying the first equipment status on the mobile device;
- retrieving an equipment procedure indexed to the first equipment reference code;
- presenting a training in a use of the equipment procedure;
- receiving an indication that a portion of the equipment procedure for the first equipment instance is complete, wherein the equipment procedure comprises text that directs a performance to an operation on the first equipment instance;
- generating an update of the equipment status from the indication;
- and
- synchronizing the updated equipment status to the procedure database.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor to perform:
- synchronizing, by use of a processor, equipment statuses to a mobile device through a network from a procedure database, wherein each equipment status corresponds to an equipment instance of a plurality of equipment instances of specific equipment and each equipment instance corresponds to an equipment reference code;
- receiving a first equipment reference code for a first equipment instance at the mobile device;
- retrieving a first equipment status of a plurality of equipment statuses that is indexed to the first equipment reference code to the mobile device;
- displaying the first equipment status on the mobile device;
- retrieving an equipment procedure indexed to the first equipment reference code;
- presenting a training in a use of the equipment procedure;
- receiving an indication that a portion of the equipment procedure for the first equipment instance is complete, wherein the equipment procedure comprises text that directs a performance to an operation on the first equipment instance;
- generating an update of the equipment status from the indication;
- and
- synchronizing the updated equipment status to the procedure database.
