FieldMate is designed to serve as a single tool for maintenance of all intelligent devices over the entire life cycle of the device, and provides a single traceable maintenance database offering explicit sharing of knowledge throughout the enterprise.
FieldMate is designed for use by instrument engineers, maintenance engineers, and field operators, and includes functions such as viewing, configuration, setting and tuning, audit trail, and diagnostics.
The new application is designed to be field portable and provides linkage to Yokogawa PRM plant asset management application and other tools, as well as compatibility with PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) and other wireless devices.
