Abstract
For providing procedures, a synchronize module stores a plurality of procedures in a procedure database. Each procedure is indexed to a reference code. The synchronize module synchronizes the plurality of procedures to a mobile device. A retrieval module receives a first reference code at the mobile device and retrieves a first procedure indexed to the first reference code.
Claims19
A method for providing procedures comprising:
- storing, by use of a processor, a plurality of procedures in a procedure database, wherein each procedure is indexed to a reference code and comprises two or more of a lockout/tag out procedure, a startup procedure, a service procedure, and an adjustment procedure for a target machine, wherein each procedure comprises the reference code, procedure instructions, a change history and a machine identifier stored as segments in one or more tables;
- synchronizing the plurality of procedures to a mobile device;
- receiving a first reference code at the mobile device, wherein the first reference code is affixed to the target machine and is encoded as one of a Quick Response (QR) code and a barcode;
- retrieving a first procedure indexed to the first reference code;
- recording if a user follows the first procedure to an audit report;
- and
- recording if the user employs safety equipment specified by the first procedure to the audit report.
An apparatus comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium storing program code executable by a processor, the program code comprising:
- a synchronize module storing a plurality of procedures in a procedure database, wherein each procedure is indexed to a reference code and comprises two or more of a lockout/tag out procedure, a startup procedure, a service procedure, and an adjustment procedure for a target machine, wherein each procedure comprises the reference code, procedure instructions, a change history and a machine identifier stored as segments in one or more tables, and synchronizing the plurality of procedures to a mobile device;
- and
- a retrieval module receiving a first reference code at the mobile device, wherein the first reference code is affixed to the target machine and is encoded as one of a Quick Response (QR) code and a barcode, retrieving a first procedure indexed to the first reference code, recording if a user follows the first procedure to an audit report, and recording if the user employs safety equipment specified by the first procedure to the audit report.
A computer program product for providing procedures, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therein, the program code readable/executable by a processor to:
- store a plurality of procedures in a procedure database, wherein each procedure is indexed to a reference code and comprises two or more of a lockout/tag out procedure, a startup procedure, a service procedure, and an adjustment procedure for a target machine, wherein each procedure comprises the reference code, procedure instructions, a change history and a machine identifier stored as segments in one or more tables;
- synchronize the plurality of procedures to a mobile device;
- receive a first reference code at the mobile device, wherein the first reference code is affixed to the target machine and is encoded as one of a Quick Response (QR) code and a barcode;
- retrieve a first procedure indexed to the first reference code;
- recording if a user follows the first procedure to an audit report;
- and
- recording if the user employs safety equipment specified by the first procedure to the audit report.
