Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein are a system and method useful for providing quality control services in connection with a project for initiation of a process plant having field devices disposed at respective field sites in the process plant. Quality control data is generated at the field sites with a portable computer in response to quality control task information provided via a user interface of the portable computer. The quality control data is transmitted to a host computer having a database with project history information, and stored in the database through integration of the quality control data with the project history information. The quality control data may be generated via check lists downloaded from the host computer to the portable computer, where the check lists specify tasks customized for the respective field site. Recordation of the quality control data via the check lists may include entering deficiency information. The initiation project may include commissioning of the process plant, and the project history information in the database may be made available for subsequent preventative maintenance or other work during operation of the process plant.
