Configuration

Criteria for a vessel to use the CCM program:

  • International Marine account

  • CCM instrument assigned to the vessel

  • Vessel's engine and cylinders configured with a parent/child relationship.

Vessel Account Configuration

  1. Select the Accounts tile.

  2. Search the vessel you are trying to configure for CCM.

  3. Select the vessel name to open the in the Account Editor.

  4. Scroll down until you see the "Business Lines" tile on the right side. Mouse-over the tile until you see a pencil icon appear. Select the Pencil.

  5. On the next screen, check the box “Is CCM Enabled.

    Business Line Configuration - Is CCM Enabled
  6. Select Save to save the changes.

Engine Asset Configuration

Once a vessel is configured, the assets to be used in conjunction must be configured properly. A Marine Engine asset first needs to be configured. The CCM workflows are only available for engines with the Service Type attribute set to “SD – Slow Speed – Crosshead”.

To configure the Asset:

  1. Select the Assets Tile

  2. Search the Asset.

  3. Select the matching result to the Asset you are trying to modify.

  4. Select Edit in the top-right corner.

  5. In Attributes, set service type to 'SD - Slow Speed Crosshead' to reveal the 'Is CCM enabled' box.

  6. Check the ‘Is CCM Enabled’ box.

  7. Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen.

Once Is CCM Enabled is checked, the attributes for CCM become visible. Note: the number of cylinders determines how many cylinder fields are visible on the logbook.

Cylinder Asset Configuration

After configuring an engine, set up each cylinder as Marine - Scrapedown assets within the account. Then associate the cylinders as children of the Marine – Engine asset.

  1. Open up the Main Engine asset and copy the Asset Key, which is located under the ‘attribute’ section

  2. Create Marine - Scrapedown asset.

  3. Copy the Main Engine Asset Key into the ‘Parent Asset Key’

  4. Fill out attributes and ensure NextGen CCM = Yes

  5. Select Save

Day Tank (Fresh Cylinder Oil) Asset Configuration

For CCM Enabled vessels, create a Marine - Fresh Cylinder Oil asset as a child of the Marine - Engine asset.

Ensure the parent asset key is on the day tank.

Instrument Dashboard

Transmissions per day: All CCM instrument transmissions including heartbeats and instrument bottle transmissions.

To view the transmission count hover over the data points.

Details and Analytic Graphs

Incomplete bottles: Graphics show all unregistered bottles sent from the instrument to MLA.

example - if client has submitted 100 bottles in total from instrument, and only 60 were registered on MLA, then incomplete are 60%

Incomplete batches: If there is an error on the final JSON, it will result in an incomplete batch. An errored JSON will not be sent to Data Harvester. The graph calculation = total number of invalid reports/total number of complete reports.

Instrument Uptime: Calculation of instrument uptime.

Instrument Timeline: Interactive timeline log of all instrument transmissions including heartbeats and transmissions.  

CCM False - a non-sample bottle transaction (registration, heartbeat, validation bottle)

CCM True - a sample bottle transaction


Reissue Report

Steps to View and Edit a Submitted Sample Registration

Users with 'Can Reissue CCM Report' right can view and edit CCM logbook sample registrations post-report issuance. Bottle IDs cannot be changed during the editing process.

Only the most recent report can be reissued.

  1. Navigate to the Asset tile.

  2. Use the Asset Search to locate the desired asset.

  3. Select on the asset to open the Asset Details page.

  4. In the Work History section, select Reissue to the right of any sample.

  5. Edit data.

  6. Select Complete Report in the upper right of the page.

  7. Select Submit Report in the upper right of the page.

  8. The report will go into a Processing status for a few minutes. Once report has filed back it will have a completed status which will allow users to view the new report.

    Work history

A user will not be able to change the Registered Date through the reissue reports screen. The UI does however allow a user to change the Sampled date.


CCM Instrument

Registered

The units are “registered” while at the instrument manufacturer. This process results in the installation of a unique system key on a unit. It is initiated from the unit and will return a unique key associated with the serial number. The key is stored on the unit.  This is a secure process that requires special credentials only available at the manufacturer.

Deployment

“Deployment” is performed on a vessel or at DSI. This involves running a script on the unit. The script performs a complicated process. Successful deployment has five results:

  1. The unit becomes associated (by serial number) with a specific vessel.

  2. The unit network is re-configured for a specific vessel.

  3. The unit calculates a shutdown date and stores it on the unit.

  4. The unit sends the shutdown date to MLA (shows in CCM Instrument List.)

  5. The unit is set to run the x-ray safety training session after reboot.

To “pre-deploy” units for off-line mode, adjust the “shutdown” date if installation exceeds 10 days after deployment.

Shutdowns

Shutdown date = deployment date + 3 years + 10 days.

The shutdown date is automatically applied when the unit is deployed.

A kill timer in the instrument is started and set to expire. This is set by XOS (the instrument manufacturer) and typically is around 36 months from the date the instrument is activated. However, this may vary. As of March 2022, the current interval XOS sets is 3 years + 10 days after the instrument is first activated. The instrument displays warnings at 9, 6, 3 months and weekly during the final month before shutdown.

Email reminders and notifications for CCM are handled via Stakeholders. These are individual email addresses assigned to an account. Each stakeholder receives email reminders and notifications for activities on an account.

Emails sent by the system:

  1. 9-month warning

  2. 6-month warning

  3. 3-month warning

  4. weekly warning

  5. final shutdown

If CCM wants to have the instrument lease extended or renewed, CCM will need to manually reach out to XOS renew them.

Disassociate Instrument

Instruments can be disassociated from an account. All data but instrument registration will be removed, freeing up the instrument for reassignment. Data deleted are the shutdown date, order #, account, parent account, and all transmissions except the ones related to the registration.

  1. Open the Instrument List tile.

  2. Search for the instrument list on your account. Select the link for the instrument on the serial number.

  3. On the next screen, select the button for “Disassociate Instrument.”

  4. Select ‘yes’ on the confirmation window.

  5. You will see another alert that an email will be sent to your inbox once it has been completed.

  6. After receiving confirmation email, cross-verify the disassociation of the instrument from the account. Within the instrument tile, the serial number will be indicated by a red X under the “Active” column.
