Agenda



Three common characteristics• Asset intensive • Centralized manufacturing process control• Extensive field operations

Business Case OTTER© Shell


Field Operations goal is to ensure Operations Integrity • Problem

– Demonstrating compliance with Operations Integrity >1.000.000 tasks per year per plant need to be executed and managed.

• Today's practice – A small portion of these tasks are being executed, often the

same tasks, poor recording, hardly any analysis.

• Resulting in: – Failures that could have been prevented.– No proof of compliance to requirements of authorities,

stakeholders, shareholders, plant management.


Immediate threats to Operations Integrity start on the shop floor

• The operators do not have full information

• More reasons why this happens• Management is not in control


The Challenge

• Shell– Create an effective way of monitoring shop-floor

processes

• Capgemini– Create a supporting solution that ensures that all

operational and technical tasks related to Reliability, Safety, Environment, Product Quality, Maintenance and Utilities are executed effectively, efficiently and timely.

Agenda



Operations work Technical Requirements• PDA

– Small– Rugged– Explosion proof– Inter changeable– Type not fixed

• Wireless not allowed on the plant itself, only within control room


On-line versus Off-line

On-line Off-lineDirect connection

Local storage

Local application


Oracle Lite

• Off-line application• Variety of PDA types• Synchronization software• Small footprint on PDA• Asynchronous• A lot of synchronizations at the same time• User / application management • Fit for purpose• Growth path for 9ias Wireless option


Operations work Usage requirements• Work process

– Selection of work– Load work on PDA– Perform work on PDA– Send measurements back from PDA

• One logon during work


Operations work Implementation• Oracle Database
